Website Migration

A: The website migration service available at Harries Web Hosting is entirely free of charge and involves transferring all your web files, databases and emails from your present web hosting provider to your brand new web hosting account with us. We’ll also fine–tune all the settings necessary for your sites to be completely functional on our leading–edge cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are fully capable of transferring any type of website. With years of experience in this field, they’re well–versed in the specificities of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other famous Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–made web app with a lot of custom libraries is as elementary as moving a simple WordPress–based weblog.

A: There are many factors to consider – the overall number of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the present workload of our website migration experts, etc. Yet, we do try to accomplish all website migrations in a 48–hour time frame. Less sizeable websites are transferred much faster – usually in less than 24 hours.

A: We will require the login information for your old hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the website’s name (domain name).

A: In order for us to start the migration of your account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to disclose the very same info you have given to your previous web host. We’ve also got a very rigid Privacy Policy, which describes how sensitive data is used.

A: No. Your website will remain online during the migration. As soon as everything is completed on our end, we will let you know so that you can examine it and check for problems. If everything is OK, all you will have to do is change your domain name’s DNS settings.

A: Nah. We’ll never contact your web hosting provider about anything. They will not be aware of the website migration either.

A: We can migrate your web site from any hosting provider or any Linux–driven web hosting platform on condition that we can access the Control Panel and there is FTP access available.The only web sites that we’re unable to migrate are the ones based on closed–source software applications like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
