Website Migration

A: When your current web hosting provider can no longer answer the requirements of your web site, or if you face constant network downtime, or if you are forced to wait for hours for the help desk support staff to respond to you, it might be smart to swap your web hosting provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your sites as well as your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At FingerTipHosting, we are aware that this can be hard & time–consuming. That is the reason why we’ll accomplish all that for you at no cost!Our qualified technical team members will migrate your site content from your current provider to us. Our technicians have got lots of experience migrating websites and can take care of everything – from a traditional WordPress–powered weblog or Joomla^™–based website, to a highly elaborate, custom–made app.

A: There are plenty of variables to keep in mind – the overall amount of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the present workload of our web site migration experts, etc. However, we do our very best to accomplish all web site migrations within a 48–hour time window. Less sizeable sites are transferred much faster – usually in under 24 hours.

A: We do not collect any information that is sensitive. We will need, though, the login info for your old hosting account and the name of the site that you would like to move.

A: Client privacy is indeed one of our prime priorities – that is why, both our payment transaction page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–grade Secure Sockets Layer certificates. We employ safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial operations to protect the data that we obtain on the Internet. And we’ve also got a very detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we gather.

A: Nah. Your web site will remain visible online during the migration. As soon as everything is done on our end, we will let you know so that you can examine it and check for any problems. If everything’s alright, all you will have to do is edit your domain’s DNS settings.

A: While we transfer your web content, your web hosting provider won’t be aware of the migration at all. We will not touch base with them in any way.

A: We support all Linux–powered web hosting platforms. Basically, if we can obtain access to your Control Panel, we will be able to transfer your web site.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source site management platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
