Website Migration

A: When your present hosting provider can no longer meet the needs of your site, or if you experience constant network downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the support staff to respond to you, it might be a smart idea to switch your provider, i.e. to move all the files for your websites together with your databases from your current provider to your new provider. At 646hosting & Business Solutions, we are aware that this can be hard and time–consuming. This is the reason why we will perform all that for you for free!Our capable technical team will move your web site content from your current provider to us. Our technicians have plenty of experience migrating websites and can take care of anything – from a traditional WordPress–powered weblog or Joomla^™–powered site, to a very complex, custom–built web application.

A: We strive to perform all website migrations as fast as possible. Nonetheless, we don’t have a set time frame for website migrations. There are different factors that you have to take into consideration – the sheer size of your web site and the workload of our web site migration team, etc. We constantly try to carry out each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller–sized sites, our staff typically manages to finish within 24 hours.

A: Yep. We’ll need the name of the website that you’d like us to move. We will also need a means to log in to your old hosting account so that we can get the files pertaining to your web site.

A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the agreement that we will have with you as a customer. We’re devoted to safeguarding the security of the personal info obtained from the clients. To do so, we use technical safety measures in order to prevent the loss, the misappropriation, the modification or the illegal leak of the personal information under our control. The safety measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial operations to safeguard and secure the details that we gather on the Internet. When we ask clients to provide financial info (for example, a debit card number), this info is protected using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption method.

A: Nope. Your site will remain fully operational during the transfer. As soon as everything is done on our end, we’ll tell you so that you can preview it and check for problems. If everything’s OK, all you will need to do is modify your domain name’s DNS resource records.

A: While we transfer your web content, your web hosting provider will not be aware of the transfer at all. We will not touch base with them in any way.

A: We support all Linux–based web hosting platforms. In essence, if we can gain access to your Control Panel, we’ll be able to transfer your website.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source web site creation platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
