Website Migration

A: If your present web hosting provider can no longer measure up to the requirements of your website, or if you face frequent network downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the support staff to respond to you, it may be a clever idea to change your web hosting provider, i.e. to move all the files for your sites as well as your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At HQ Linux Hosting, we understand that this can be difficult & time–consuming. For this reason, we’ll do all that for you at no cost!Our highly proficient technical staff representatives will move your web site content from your current hosting provider to us. Our technicians have a lot of experience with website migration and are able to handle anything – from a standard WordPress–based blog or Joomla^™–powered site, to a highly elaborate, custom–built web app.

A: There are lots of variables to keep in mind – the total amount of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the current workload of our website migration professionals, etc. Nevertheless, we do our very best to perform all website migrations within a 48–hour time window. Less sizeable sites are transferred much faster – usually within 24 hours.

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

A: User privacy is indeed one of our principal concerns – because of this, both our payment page and our CP login page are secured with enterprise–grade Secure Sockets Layer certificates. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial procedures to safeguard the data that we assemble online. And we have a very detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which specifies the types of information that we collect.

A: While we move your web site, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your old hosting provider. When the transfer is done, we’ll make sure that everything is functioning correctly and that the integrity of your content is not compromised before notifying you that the migration is completed. After that, we will explain to you how to move the domain name over to your web hosting account with us and how to update your DNS settings.

A: Nope. Apart from your login info for the Control Panel, we won’t need anything. We’ll never touch base with your web hosting provider. They will not know anything about the transfer either.

A: We support all Linux–based hosting platforms. Generally, if we can access your Control Panel, we will be able to migrate your website.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source web site building platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
