Website Migration

A: If your present hosting provider can no longer meet the requirements of your site, or when you undergo frequent downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the tech support team to reply back to you, it might be smart to switch your hosting provider, i.e. to move all the files for your sites along with your databases from your present provider to your new provider. At TMWHosting, we are aware that this can be difficult and time–consuming. Because of this, we’ll accomplish all that for you for free!Our practiced technical staff representatives will transfer your site content from your present provider to us. Our techs have a lot of experience migrating web sites and can handle everything – from an ordinary WordPress weblog or Joomla^™–driven site, to a very complex, custom–built app.

A: There are many aspects to take into account – the total number of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the current workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. However, we do try to implement all web site migrations within a 48–hour period. Smaller websites are migrated faster – usually in under 24 hours.

A: We do not collect any personal details. We’ll need, though, the login information for your current hosting account as well as the name of the web site that you would like to migrate.

A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the agreement that we will have with you as a client. We’re committed to safeguarding the security of the personal details collected from the clients. To do that, we use technical safety measures to avoid the loss, the abuse, the alteration or the illegal leak of the personal information under our control. The measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative procedures to protect and secure the details that we acquire on the Internet. When we ask clients to submit financial info (for instance, a credit card number), this info is masked using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology.

A: Nope. Your web site will remain online during the transfer. Once everything is completed on our end, we will tell you so that you can preview it and check for problems. If everything is okay, all you will need to do is modify your domain name’s DNS records.

A: No. Apart from your login credentials for the Control Panel, we will not require anything. We’ll never touch base with your web hosting provider. They will not know anything about the transfer either.

A: We can transfer your site from any web hosting provider or any Linux–driven hosting platform so long as we can obtain access to the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only web sites that we’re unable to migrate are the ones based on closed–source software applications such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
