Website Migration
-
Q: Why should I move my website? What does website migration involve?
A: When your current web hosting provider can no longer answer the necessities of your site, or if you suffer from continual downtime, or if you are forced to wait for hours for the support staff to get back to you, it might be a smart idea to switch your provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your websites as well as your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At Tekno-Babble LLC., we understand that this can often be hard and time–consuming. That’s the reason why we’ll accomplish all that for you at no cost!Our expert technical staff representatives will transfer your web site content from your current hosting provider to us. Our technicians have lots of experience migrating web sites and are able to handle anything – from a standard WordPress–based weblog or Joomla™ CMS–driven site, to a highly elaborate, custom–made web app.

Q: How long will it take for my web site to be moved to your platform?
A: We try to carry out all website migrations as fast as possible. Even so, we don’t have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are certain variables that you have to take into consideration – the actual size of your site and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We always try to carry out each migration within 48 hours. With less sizeable web sites, our team typically manages to finish within 24 hours.

Q: Do you need anything from me before you start moving my site?
A: We will need the login information for your current web hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the web site’s name (domain name).

Q: My old web hosting account has sensitive info inside. How can I rely on you?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the contract that we’ll have with you as a client. We’re focused on protecting the security of the personal info gathered from the clients. To do so, we employ technical safety measures so as to avoid the loss, the misapplication, the modification or the unauthorized disclosure of the private data under our control. The safety measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative methods to safeguard and secure the data that we assemble on the web. When we ask customers to supply financial information (for instance, a debit card number), this info is secured using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology.
-
Q: Will my website be unavailable during the migration?
A: While we move your website, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your old web hosting provider. Once the transfer is finished, we’ll make sure that everything is working properly and that the integrity of your content is not jeopardized prior to telling you that the migration is complete. Then we’ll tell you how to move the domain over to your web hosting account with us and how to edit the DNS settings.

Q: Will my old web hosting provider need to provide any info/help?
A: Nah. Apart from your login info for the Control Panel, we won’t need anything. We will never touch base with your web hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the transfer either.
-
Q: Which hosting platforms do you support?
A: We can migrate your web site from any web hosting provider or any Linux–based web hosting platform on condition that we can get access to the Control Panel and there is FTP access available.The only websites that we are unable to migrate are those based on closed–source software applications like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
