Website Migration

A: If your present hosting provider can no longer match the needs of your web site, or when you experience constant network downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the customer service staff to respond back to you, it might be a clever idea to swap your hosting provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your sites along with your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At Web Hosting For Life, we realize that this can be difficult & time–consuming. That is why we will accomplish all that for you for free!Our proficient technical staff members will transfer your site content from your current web hosting provider to us. Our techs have got a lot of experience with website migration and can handle anything – from a conventional WordPress–driven blog or Joomla^™ CMS–powered website, to an extremely complex, custom–made application.

A: We try to implement all web site migrations as fast as possible. Yet, we do not have a set time frame for web site migrations. There are certain things that you have to take into consideration – the actual size of your website and the workload of our website migration team, etc. We always try to implement each migration in less than 48 hours. With less sizeable web sites, our staff usually manages to finish in under 24 hours.

A: Yes. We’ll need the name of the web site that you want us to transfer. We’ll also need a way to log in to your current web hosting account so that we can get the files pertaining to your website.

A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the agreement that we will have with you as a customer. We are committed to protecting the safety of the personal details gathered from the clients. For this purpose, we use technical security measures in order to avoid the loss, the misappropriation, the alteration or the illegal disclosure of the personal information under our control. The safety measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial methods to safeguard and secure the data that we gather online. When we ask users to supply financial information (for example, a debit card number), this info is shielded using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption method.

A: Your web site will work just like it did before with your previous web hosting provider. Once we are done with the migration, your website will be configured to work on our hosting platform and we will alert you to preview it. If everything is functioning properly, all you will have to do is update the NS resource records corresponding to your domain name. Your website will be migrated to us without any downtime.

A: Nah. We’ll never contact your hosting provider about anything. They won’t be aware of the web site transfer either.

A: Yeah. We support all common Linux–based web hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–powered hosting platforms, as we don’t offer Windows hosting services ourselves.Additionally, we don’t support proprietary site building and administration user interfaces like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
