Website Migration

A: When your present web hosting provider can no longer match the requirements of your site, or when you go through frequent downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the customer care staff to reply back to you, it might be smart to change your provider, i.e. to move all the files for your sites together with your databases from your present provider to your new provider. At AdvancedWebHost.com, we know that this can be hard & time–consuming. That is the reason why we will do all that for you at no cost!Our highly professional technical team reps will transfer your website content from your current hosting provider to us. Our technicians have a lot of experience with website migration and are able to take care of anything – from an ordinary WordPress weblog or Joomla^™ CMS–driven website, to a highly complex, custom–made web application.

A: There are lots of variables to think about – the total amount of files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the present workload of our website migration professionals, etc. Still, we do our very best to perform all website migrations within a 48–hour window. Smaller websites are migrated much faster – usually in under 24 hours.

A: We do not need any sensitive information. We will need, though, the login info for your old web hosting account as well as the name of the web site that you need to move.

A: Client privacy is one of our paramount concerns – for this reason, both our payment page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–level Secure Sockets Layer certificates. We use safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial operations to protect the details that we assemble online. And we also have a very detailed and strict Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we collect.

A: While we transfer your site, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your old web hosting provider. After the transfer is complete, we will make sure that everything is functioning correctly and that the integrity of your content is not compromised prior to notifying you that the migration is complete. Then we’ll instruct you how to move the domain over to your hosting account with us and how to change your DNS resource records.

A: Nah. Aside from your login info for the Control Panel, we will not need anything. We’ll never contact your hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the transfer either.

A: We support all Linux–powered hosting platforms. Generally, if we can obtain access to your Control Panel, we will be able to transfer your site.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source website management platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
