Website Migration
-
Q: What precisely does web site migration mean and what does it entail?
A: When your current web hosting provider can no longer meet the needs of your website, or when you face constant network downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the client support team to get back to you, it may be a smart idea to swap your hosting provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your websites along with your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At Indi.Host - Best Web Hosting Provider, we know that this can be difficult and time–consuming. Because of this, we’ll accomplish all that for you at no cost!Our practiced technical staff will move your site content from your present web hosting provider to us. Our techs have got extensive experience with web site migration and are able to take care of everything – from an ordinary WordPress–driven weblog or Joomla™ web site, to an extremely complex, custom–made app.

Q: Web site migration sounds like lots of work. Just how long will it take?
A: There are lots of aspects to think about – the total number of web files, the size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the current workload of our website migration professionals, etc. Having said that, we do our very best to accomplish all website migrations within a 48–hour time window. Less sizeable websites are transferred much faster – typically in less than 24 hours.
-
Q: Do you need something from me before you start transferring my website?
A: We will need the login details for your old hosting provider’s Control Panel and the website’s name (domain name).
-
Q: I give you access to sensitive data. How can I be sure that you won’t misuse it?
A: Customer privacy is among our prime priorities – this is why, both our payment transaction page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–grade SSL certificates. We employ security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial methods to protect the details that we receive on the web. And we also have a very detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we gather.

Q: What about downtime? Will my web site be offline?
A: No. Your website will remain available online during the transfer. As soon as everything is done on our end, we will notify you so that you can preview it and check for problems. If everything is okay, all you will have to do is modify your domain’s DNS resource records.
-
Q: Will my current web hosting provider have to do anything?
A: While we migrate your web content, your hosting provider will not be aware of the migration at all. We won’t touch base with them in any way.
-
Q: Does it make a difference what platform my current provider is using?
A: We support all Linux–based hosting platforms. In essence, if we can access your Control Panel, we’ll be able to transfer your site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source website management platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
