Website Migration

Q: What does the website migration service consist of? Will my site be secure?
A: When your current hosting provider can no longer fulfill the demands of your website, or when you undergo regular network downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the tech support staff to reply back to you, it may be a clever idea to swap your hosting provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your sites together with your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At Buy Expert, we realize that this can be hard and time–consuming. That’s why we’ll do all that for you for free!Our professional technical staff will migrate your web site content from your current hosting provider to us. Our techs have extensive experience with website migration and can handle everything – from a common WordPress blog or Joomla™ CMS–powered web site, to an extremely complex, custom–built web application.

Q: How much time will the web site migration procedure take?
A: We try to accomplish all web site migrations ASAP. Still, we don’t have a set time frame for web site migrations. There are certain factors that you need to take into account – the actual size of your website and the workload of our website migration team, etc. We always try to accomplish each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller sites, our team usually manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

Q: What data will I have to give to your Website Migration Department?
A: We will need the login details for your current web hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the site’s name (domain name).
-
Q: You will access delicate data. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: User privacy is indeed one of our top concerns – for this reason, both our payment transaction page and our CP login page are secured with enterprise–grade Secure Sockets Layer certificates. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial methods to safeguard the information that we acquire online. And we’ve got a detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we gather.

Q: What about downtime? Will my web site be offline?
A: No. Your website will stay available online during the transfer. As soon as everything is completed on our end, we will inform you so that you can preview it and check for any problems. If everything is alright, all you will need to do is modify your domain name’s DNS records.
-
Q: Will my current hosting provider need to provide any info/help?
A: While we migrate your website content, your hosting provider won’t be aware of the migration at all. We won’t get in touch with them in any way.
-
Q: Which hosting platforms do you support?
A: Yes. We support all standard Linux–based hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–based web hosting platforms, since we don’t offer Windows web hosting services ourselves.Furthermore, we do not support proprietary site creation and management tools like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
