Website Migration

A: If your current hosting provider can no longer measure up to the needs of your web site, or when you undergo continuous downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the help desk support team to reply back to you, it may be a smart idea to change your provider, i.e. to move all the files for your web sites as well as your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At Worldwide Hosting, we understand that this can be hard and time–consuming. That is the reason why we will do all that for you at no cost!Our seasoned technical staff representatives will migrate your site content from your present hosting provider to us. Our technicians have lots of experience migrating web sites and can handle anything – from a regular WordPress–based weblog or Joomla^™–powered web site, to a very complex, custom–made web app.

A: There are lots of variables to take into consideration – the total number of files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the present workload of our website migration professionals, etc. However, we do our very best to accomplish all website migrations in a 48–hour period. Smaller websites are migrated much faster – typically in less than 24 hours.

A: We will require the login details for your old web hosting provider’s Control Panel and the web site’s name (domain name).

A: Customer privacy is one of our greatest responsibilities – that’s why, both our payment transaction page and our CP login page are secured with enterprise–level Secure Sockets Layer certificates. We employ security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative methods to protect the details that we receive on the Internet. And we also have a very detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we collect.

A: Nope. Your site will remain reachable online during the migration. As soon as everything is completed on our end, we will inform you so that you can preview it and check for any problems. If everything is okay, all you will need to do is change your domain name’s DNS settings.

A: Nope. Apart from your login info for the Control Panel, we will not need anything. We will never touch base with your hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the migration either.

A: Yep. We support all conventional Linux–driven web hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–powered web hosting platforms, since we do not offer Windows web hosting solutions ourselves.We also don’t support proprietary website building and administration user interfaces like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
