Website Migration
-
Q: Why should I transfer my website? What does web site migration include?
A: The web site migration service on offer at World Wide Web Site Store is entirely free of cost and consists of moving all your website files, databases and emails from your present web hosting provider to your brand new hosting account with us. We’ll also update all the configuration settings needed for your web sites to be completely functional on our ultramodern cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are fully capable of moving any type of site. With years of practical experience in the industry, they are well–versed in the specificities of our hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other well–known Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–made app with numerous custom libraries is as easy as transferring a simple WordPress–based weblog.
-
Q: How long will the web site migration process take?
A: While we cannot give you a precise time window, since there are lots of factors, among them the physical size of the files and databases, the physical location of the current host’s server, the complexity of your web site and the current workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will give our best to migrate your website within 48h, and in certain cases – within 24h (if the content is not large).
-
Q: My personal privacy concerns me. What info do you need to have?
A: We will require the login information for your old hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the site’s name (domain name).
-
Q: I give you access to sensitive info. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: In order for us to start the migration of your web hosting account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to disclose pretty much the same information you have provided to your present web host. We also have an extremely strict Privacy Policy, which specifies how personal information is used.
-
Q: Will there be any outage for my website?
A: Your site will work just like it did before with your old web hosting provider. As soon as we are through with the transfer, your site will be configured to work on our web hosting platform and we will alert you to preview it. If everything is working correctly, all you will have to do is update the name server records for your domain name. Your website will be transferred to us with no downtime whatsoever.
-
Q: Will my current web hosting provider need to provide any information/assistance?
A: Nah. Aside from your login info for the Control Panel, we won’t need anything. We’ll never touch base with your hosting provider. They will not know anything about the migration either.
-
Q: Which hosting platforms do you support?
A: We can migrate your site from any web hosting provider or any Linux–driven web hosting platform so long as we can gain access to the Control Panel and there is FTP access available.The only websites that we cannot migrate are the ones based on closed–source software applications such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
