Website Migration
-
Q: What precisely does web site migration imply and what does it involve?
A: If your current web hosting provider can no longer fulfill the necessities of your website, or when you go through constant downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the technical support staff to respond back to you, it might be a smart idea to change your provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your sites along with your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At Traffix Web, we know that this can be hard & time–consuming. For this reason, we’ll perform all that for you for free!Our highly experienced technical team members will move your website content from your current web hosting provider to us. Our technicians have got extensive experience with website migration and are able to handle everything – from a traditional WordPress–driven blog or Joomla™–driven site, to a very elaborate, custom–made web app.
-
Q: Just how long will the web site migration procedure take?
A: There are plenty of variables to think about – the overall amount of web files, the size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the current workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. However, we do our best to perform all website migrations within a 48–hour window. Smaller–sized web sites are transferred much faster – usually in less than 24 hours.
-
Q: Do you require something from me before you begin transferring my website?
A: Yes. We will need the name of the website that you’d like us to migrate. We will also need a means to log in to your old hosting account so that we can get the files associated with your website.
-
Q: My old web hosting account has sensitive data inside. How can I rely on you?
A: Client privacy is among our paramount responsibilities – that is why, both our payment transaction page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–grade SSL certificates. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial methods to secure the details that we assemble on the Internet. And we have a detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we gather.
-
Q: Will there be any outage for my web site?
A: Nope. Your site will remain accessible online during the migration. As soon as everything is done on our end, we’ll let you know so that you can preview it and check for problems. If everything is fine, all you will have to do is modify your domain name’s DNS records.
-
Q: Will my current hosting provider need to provide any information/assistance?
A: No. We’ll never get in touch with your hosting provider about anything at all. They will not be aware of the website migration either.
-
Q: Does it make any difference what platform my present provider is using?
A: We support all Linux–based hosting platforms. In essence, if we can gain access to your Control Panel, we will be able to migrate your web site.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source web site creation platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
