Website Migration

A: If your current web hosting provider can no longer match the needs of your website, or if you undergo continual downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the support staff to respond back to you, it may be a clever idea to swap your web hosting provider, i.e. to move all the files for your web sites as well as your databases from your current provider to your new provider. At Finest Hosting, we realize that this can be hard and time–consuming. That’s the reason why we’ll do all that for you for free!Our highly knowledgeable technical staff members will migrate your site content from your current provider to us. Our technicians have a lot of experience migrating web sites and can handle everything – from a common WordPress–driven weblog or Joomla^™ CMS–driven website, to a very complex, custom–made web app.

A: While we can’t give you a precise time frame, because there are a lot of factors, including the size of the web files and databases, the location of the current host’s server, the complexity of your web site and the current workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will give our best to move your web site within 48h, and in certain cases – within 24h (when the website content is not large).

A: We do not gather any private details. We will need, though, the login info for your old hosting account and the name of the web site that you need to transfer.

A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the agreement that we’ll have with you as a client. We’re committed to safeguarding the security of the personal information gathered from the clients. To accomplish that, we employ technical security measures in order to avoid the loss, the misapplication, the modification or the unlawful leakage of the information under our control. The security measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative methods to protect and secure the info that we acquire on the web. When we ask clients to present financial information (such as a credit card number), this info is encrypted using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology.

A: Your site will continue to work just like it did before with your previous hosting provider. Once we have completed the migration, your website will be configured to work on our hosting platform and we’ll alert you to preview it. If everything is functioning properly, all you will need to do is change the NS records for your domain name. Your web site will be migrated over to us without any downtime.

A: Nah. We will never touch base with your web hosting provider about anything at all. They will not be aware of the website migration either.

A: We support all Linux–driven hosting platforms. Essentially, if we can get access to your Control Panel, we will be able to migrate your site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source site management platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
