Website Migration

A: When your present web hosting provider can no longer measure up to the needs of your web site, or when you face regular downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the customer service team to get back to you, it might be a smart idea to switch your hosting provider, i.e. to move all the files for your websites as well as your databases from your present provider to your new provider. At Cheap Web Hosting, we are aware that this can be difficult & time–consuming. This is the reason why we’ll do all that for you at no cost!Our highly professional technical staff representatives will migrate your web site content from your current hosting provider to us. Our technicians have got plenty of experience migrating websites and can handle everything – from a standard WordPress–based blog or Joomla^™ CMS–driven web site, to an extremely complex, custom–made application.

A: There are lots of aspects to take into consideration – the overall number of files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the current workload of our website migration professionals, etc. Nonetheless, we do our best to perform all website migrations in a 48–hour time period. Smaller–sized sites are migrated faster – usually within 24 hours.

When the migration is over, we will make certain that everything is working properly and that the integrity of your content is not compromised prior to telling you that the transfer is finished. Then we will tell you how to transfer the domain over to your web hosting account with us and how to change the DNS settings.
