Website Migration

A: If your present web hosting provider can no longer measure up to the demands of your website, or when you undergo regular downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the client service staff to respond back to you, it may be a smart idea to swap your hosting provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your websites along with your databases from your current provider to your new provider. At USAHosted.Com, we realize that this can be difficult and time–consuming. That’s the reason why we’ll do all that for you at no cost!Our skillful technical staff will transfer your web site content from your current web hosting provider to us. Our techs have got plenty of experience migrating websites and are able to take care of everything – from a common WordPress–based blog or Joomla^™ CMS–driven web site, to a highly complex, custom–made web app.

A: There are plenty of factors to take into consideration – the overall number of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the present workload of our website migration professionals, etc. Still, we do our very best to implement all web site migrations within a 48–hour period. Less sizeable web sites are migrated much faster – usually in less than 24 hours.

A: Yup. We’ll need the name of the web site that you want us to transfer. We’ll also require a means to log in to your current hosting account so that we can get the files pertaining to your website.

A: Client privacy is among our paramount concerns – that’s why, both our payment page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–level digital certificates. We use safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial methods to secure the details that we assemble online. And we have a detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we gather.

A: While we move your website, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your former web hosting provider. Once the migration is over, we will ensure that everything is working correctly and that the integrity of your web content is not compromised before telling you that the transfer is done. After that, we will tell you how to transfer the domain name over to your web hosting account with us and how to modify the DNS resource records.

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

A: Yes. We support all common Linux–based hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–driven web hosting platforms, as we don’t offer Windows hosting services ourselves.We also don’t support proprietary web site creation and management interfaces like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
