Website Migration

A: When your present web hosting provider can no longer answer the necessities of your website, or if you suffer from continuous downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the client care staff to reply to you, it may be a smart idea to change your provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your web sites together with your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At Web Hosting - Promoter Host, we realize that this can often be hard and time–consuming. For this reason, we’ll perform all that for you for free!Our knowledgeable technical staff will transfer your web site content from your current provider to us. Our technicians have lots of experience with website migration and are able to handle anything – from a normal WordPress weblog or Joomla^™ CMS–based web site, to a highly elaborate, custom–built application.

A: We try to accomplish all website migrations ASAP. Nonetheless, we don’t have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are various aspects that you have to take into consideration – the actual size of your web site and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We always strive to accomplish each migration within 48 hours. With less sizeable websites, our staff usually manages to finish within 24 hours.
