Website Migration

A: When your present web hosting provider can no longer measure up to the necessities of your website, or if you face continuous network downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the support team to respond to you, it might be a good idea to switch your hosting 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 4 Web Host, we understand that this can often be difficult and time–consuming. That is why we will accomplish all that for you at no cost!Our highly accomplished technical staff representatives will migrate your web site content from your present hosting provider to us. Our technicians have extensive experience migrating websites and are able to take care of anything – from an ordinary WordPress–driven weblog or Joomla^™ CMS–based web site, to a very elaborate, custom–built app.

A: While we cannot give you a precise ETA, since there are a lot of variables, among them the physical size of the files and databases, the physical location of the present host’s server, the complexity of your web site and the present workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will try our very best to migrate your site within 48h, and in some cases – within 24h (in case the website content is not large).

A: We do not gather any sensitive details. We will require, though, the login information for your current web hosting account and the name of the website that you wish to transfer.

A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the contract that we’ll have with you as a customer. We are devoted to safeguarding the security of the personal data obtained from the clients. To achieve this, we employ technical security measures in order to prevent the loss, the misapplication, the modification or the illegal leak of the information under our control. The measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the information that we collect on the World Wide Web. When we ask clients to supply financial info (for instance, a debit card number), this info is shielded using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technique.

A: No. Your web site will stay online during the migration. Once everything is done on our end, we’ll inform you so that you can examine it and check for any problems. If everything is alright, all you will need to do is modify your domain name’s DNS records.

A: While we transfer your web content, your web hosting provider won’t be aware of the migration at all. We will not contact them in any way.

A: We can transfer your website from any hosting provider or any Linux–driven web hosting platform on condition that we can gain access to the Control Panel and there is File Transfer Protocol access available.The only web sites that we’re unable to migrate are those based on closed–source software applications like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
