Website Migration

A: When your present web hosting provider can no longer match the needs of your web site, or when you undergo regular downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the tech support team to respond back to you, it might be a smart idea to switch your provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your websites along with your databases from your current provider to your new provider. At Small Business Hosting, we are aware that this can often be difficult and time–consuming. That is why we will perform all that for you for free!Our capable technical team members will transfer your site content from your present provider to us. Our technicians have broad experience migrating websites and can handle everything – from a normal WordPress–powered weblog or Joomla^™ CMS–powered site, to a highly elaborate, custom–built web application.

A: There are many aspects to take into account – the total amount of files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the current workload of our website migration professionals, etc. That said, we do our best to accomplish all web site migrations within a 48–hour time period. Less sizeable websites are transferred faster – typically within 24 hours.

A: Yeah. We will need the name of the website that you want us to migrate. We will also need a means to log into your current web hosting account so that we can get the content pertaining to your website.

A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the agreement that we will have with you as a client. We are focused on safeguarding the safety of the personal information obtained from the clients. To accomplish this, we use technical security measures in order to prevent the loss, the misapplication, the alteration or the unlawful disclosure of the personal information under our control. The measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative operations to protect and secure the details that we gather online. When we request customers to supply financial info (for instance, a debit card number), this info is encrypted using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology.

A: Nah. Your web site will continue to be accessible online during the transfer. Once everything is completed on our end, we’ll notify you so that you can examine it and check for any problems. If everything is OK, all you will have to do is edit your domain’s DNS settings.

A: No. We’ll never touch base with your hosting provider about anything. They won’t be aware of the website transfer either.

A: Yep. We support all regular Linux–powered hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–based hosting platforms, since we do not provide Windows web hosting solutions ourselves.Furthermore, we don’t support proprietary website building and administration tools such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
