Website Migration

A: If your current hosting provider can no longer answer the demands of your web site, or if you undergo continuous network downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the client support team to respond to you, it may be a good idea to swap your hosting provider, i.e. to move all the files for your websites together with your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At Global Web Hosting, we understand that this can often be hard & time–consuming. That’s the reason why we’ll perform all that for you for free!Our highly skilled technical team representatives will migrate your website content from your current provider to us. Our techs have got broad experience with website migration and are able to handle everything – from a customary WordPress–based blog or Joomla^™–driven web site, to an extremely elaborate, custom–built application.

A: There are lots of aspects to take into consideration – the overall amount of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the present workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. Nonetheless, we do our best to accomplish all web site migrations in a 48–hour time window. Less sizeable websites are migrated much faster – typically in less than 24 hours.

A: We don’t need any sensitive information. We’ll require, however, the login information for your old web hosting account along with the name of the web site that you wish to transfer.

A: Customer privacy is one of our main priorities – because of this, both our payment transaction page and our Control Panel login page are protected with enterprise–level digital certificates. We employ security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative procedures to secure the details that we acquire on the Internet. And we have a detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we gather.

A: While we migrate your site, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your previous hosting provider. As soon as the migration is finished, we will ensure that everything is working correctly and that the integrity of your web content is not affected prior to notifying you that the transfer is finished. After that, we’ll instruct you how to move the domain name over to your web hosting account with us and how to edit the DNS records.

A: While we move your content, your hosting provider will not be aware of the migration at all. We will not touch base with them in any way.

A: Yes. We support all traditional Linux–driven hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–powered web hosting platforms, as we don’t offer Windows hosting solutions ourselves.Furthermore, we do not support proprietary site creation and administration user interfaces like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
