Website Migration

A: When your current hosting provider can no longer match the necessities of your website, or when you suffer from constant network downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the customer care team to respond back to you, it might be a clever idea to switch your hosting provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your web sites along with your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At Voila, we are aware that this can be difficult and time–consuming. That is the reason why we will perform all that for you for free!Our highly skilled technical staff will move your website content from your present provider to us. Our techs have got extensive experience migrating web sites and are able to take care of everything – from an average WordPress–driven blog or Joomla^™–based site, to a very complex, custom–made app.

A: There are plenty of aspects to consider – the total amount of web files, the size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the current workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. That said, we do our very best to implement all website migrations within a 48–hour time frame. Less sizeable web sites are migrated much faster – typically within 24 hours.

A: Yeah. We will need to have the name of the site that you want us to move. We’ll also need a way to log into your present web hosting account so that we can get the files pertaining to your site.

A: Before we can begin the migration of your web hosting account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us requires that you to share the same information you have given to your current web hosting provider. We also have an extremely rigid Privacy Policy, which specifies how sensitive info is dealt with.

A: Nope. Your website will continue to be reachable online during the transfer. Once everything is completed on our end, we will tell you so that you can examine it and check for problems. If everything’s okay, all you will have to do is update your domain name’s DNS resource records.

A: Nah. We’ll never touch base with your web hosting provider about anything. They won’t be aware of the web site migration either.

A: We can transfer your site from any hosting provider or any Linux–driven web hosting platform as long as we can access the Control Panel and there is File Transfer Protocol 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.
