Website Migration
-
Q: What exactly does website migration mean and what does it involve?
A: If your present web hosting provider can no longer meet the demands of your website, or if you suffer from constant network downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the customer support staff to respond to you, it might be a smart idea to swap your hosting provider, i.e. to move all the files for your web sites along with your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At New Vision Hosting, we realize that this can be hard and time–consuming. Because of this, we’ll accomplish all that for you for free!Our skillful technical team representatives will transfer your site content from your present hosting provider to us. Our techs have got lots of experience migrating websites and are able to take care of anything – from a normal WordPress–driven blog or Joomla™–driven web site, to an extremely elaborate, custom–made app.

Q: How long will it take for my web site to be moved to your platform?
A: There are plenty of aspects to take into consideration – the total number of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the present workload of our website migration professionals, etc. However, we do try to accomplish all web site migrations within a 48–hour time frame. Smaller–sized websites are transferred much faster – typically in under 24 hours.
-
Q: Do you require anything from me before you start moving my web site?
A: Yup. We will need to have the name of the website that you want us to move. We’ll also need a means to log in to your current hosting account so that we can get the files associated with your website.
-
Q: I give you access to sensitive info. How can I be sure that you won’t misuse it?
A: User privacy is among our fundamental priorities – that’s why, both our payment page and our CP login page are secured with enterprise–level SSL certificates. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative methods to protect the data that we collect online. And we have a very detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we gather.
-
Q: How about downtime? Will my site be offline?
A: Nah. Your site will remain completely operational during the transfer. As soon as everything is completed on our end, we will inform you so that you can preview it and check for any problems. If everything is okay, all you will have to do is modify your domain name’s DNS resource records.
-
Q: Will my present web hosting provider need to provide any information/assistance?
A: While we move your content, your hosting provider won’t be aware of the transfer at all. We won’t get in touch with them in any way.
-
Q: Which hosting platforms do you support?
A: We can transfer your site from any web hosting provider or any Linux–driven hosting platform as long as we can acquire access to the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only web sites that we’re unable to migrate are the ones based on closed–source software apps like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
