Website Migration
-
Q: Why do I have to move my website? What does web site migration include?
A: When your current web hosting provider can no longer match the necessities of your site, or when you undergo continual downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the help desk support team to reply back to you, it may be smart to switch your hosting provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your web sites as well as your databases from your present provider to your new provider. At 123get, we understand that this can be hard and time–consuming. That is the reason why we’ll accomplish all that for you at no cost!Our highly proficient technical team reps will migrate your web site content from your current web hosting provider to us. Our technicians have got plenty of experience with web site migration and can handle anything – from a common WordPress–based weblog or Joomla™–based web site, to a highly elaborate, custom–made app.

Q: How much time will it take for my website to be moved over to your platform?
A: There are plenty of variables to consider – the total number of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the current workload of our web site migration experts, etc. Yet, we do try to carry out all web site migrations in a 48–hour time period. Smaller–sized websites are transferred faster – usually within 24 hours.

Q: My privacy concerns me. What details do you need to have?
A: We do not need any private information. We will need, however, the login information for your current web hosting account and the name of the web site that you wish to transfer.
-
Q: My present web hosting account has sensitive info inside. How can I trust you?
A: In order for us to begin the transfer of your account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us requires that you to disclose essentially the same information you have given to your previous hosting provider. We’ve also got a very rigid Privacy Policy, which specifies how sensitive information is dealt with.
-
Q: Will there be any outage for my site?
A: Nah. Your website will stay reachable online during the transfer. Once everything is completed on our end, we’ll inform you so that you can preview it and check for any problems. If everything is alright, all you will have to do is change your domain’s DNS settings.
-
Q: Will my present web hosting provider know that I am leaving them?
A: No. Apart from your login info for the Control Panel, we will not need anything. We’ll never get in touch with your hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the transfer either.
-
Q: Which hosting providers can you migrate content from?
A: We support all Linux–driven web hosting platforms. Essentially, if we can acquire access to your Control Panel, we will be able to transfer your web site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source web site management platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
