Website Migration
-
Q: Why do I have to transfer my website? What does web site migration consist of?
A: If your current hosting provider can no longer meet the requirements of your website, or if you suffer from frequent downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the technical support team to respond to you, it may be a good idea to change your web hosting provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your sites as well as your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At Azeer web hosting, we know that this can often be difficult and time–consuming. That is the reason why we’ll perform all that for you for free!Our expert technical staff members will transfer your web site content from your current web hosting provider to us. Our techs have got plenty of experience with web site migration and are able to handle anything – from a customary WordPress blog or Joomla™–driven web site, to a highly elaborate, custom–made application.

Q: Just how long will it take for my website to be migrated to your platform?
A: We try to perform all website migrations as fast as possible. Nevertheless, we do not have a fixed time frame for website migrations. There are certain aspects that you need to take into consideration – the actual size of your site and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We always strive to accomplish each migration in under 48 hours. With less sizeable web sites, our staff typically manages to finish within 24 hours.

Q: What info will I be asked to provide to your Website Migration Department?
A: We will require the login information for your current hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the website’s name (domain name).
-
Q: The login details for my hosting account are sensitive. How can I rely on you?
A: Before we can begin the transfer of your web hosting account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to disclose literally the same information you have given to your old hosting provider. We’ve also got an extremely rigorous Privacy Policy, which specifies how sensitive information is tackled.
-
Q: Will there be any downtime for my site?
A: Your web site will work exactly like it did before with your former hosting provider. When we have finished the transfer, your website will be configured to work on our hosting platform and we’ll alert you to preview it. If it is working correctly, all you will need to do is edit the name server resource records corresponding to your domain. Your site will be migrated to us with no downtime whatsoever.
-
Q: Will my present web hosting provider have to do anything?
A: No. Aside from your login info for the Control Panel, we won’t require anything. We’ll never contact your web hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the migration either.
-
Q: Does it make any difference what platform my current hosting provider is using?
A: We support all Linux–powered web hosting platforms. Fundamentally, if we can receive access to your Control Panel, we will be able to migrate your web site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source website building platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
