Website Migration

A: When your current hosting provider can no longer meet the requirements of your website, or when you experience regular downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the tech support team to reply to you, it may be a good idea to swap your provider, i.e. to move all the files for your sites as well as your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At 121 Webhost, we are aware that this can often be hard and time–consuming. Because of this, we’ll do all that for you for free!Our skilled technical team representatives will move your web site content from your current web hosting provider to us. Our techs have got lots of experience migrating websites and can take care of anything – from an ordinary WordPress–based weblog or Joomla^™ CMS–driven web site, to a very elaborate, custom–built application.

A: We try to carry out all website migrations as fast as possible. Even so, we don’t have a fixed time frame for website migrations. There are certain variables that you have to take into account – the very size of your site and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We always try to accomplish each migration within 48 hours. With less sizeable websites, our staff typically manages to finish in under 24 hours.

A: Yes. We will need the name of the website that you’d like us to move. We will also require a way to access your present hosting account so that we can get the content associated with your website.

A: Client privacy is indeed one of our principal priorities – for this reason, both our payment page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–level digital certificates. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial methods to protect the details that we receive online. And we have a detailed and strict Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we collect.

A: While we transfer your website, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your old web hosting provider. Once the migration is finished, we’ll ensure that everything is functioning properly and that the integrity of your content is not affected before telling you that the migration is finished. After that, we will explain to you how to move the domain over to your hosting account with us and how to update the DNS resource records.

A: No. We will never contact your web hosting provider about anything. They will not be aware of the web site transfer either.

A: Yeah. We support all standard Linux–based web hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–based hosting platforms, because we do not offer Windows web hosting services ourselves.Furthermore, we do not support proprietary web site creation and administration user interfaces such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
