Website Migration

A: When your current hosting provider can no longer meet the needs of your site, or if you suffer from continuous downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the technical support team to reply 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 current provider to your future provider. At Easy Street Hosting, we understand that this can be hard & time–consuming. That is why we’ll perform all that for you at no cost!Our seasoned technical staff members will move your web site content from your present hosting provider to us. Our techs have lots of experience migrating web sites and are able to handle anything – from a typical WordPress weblog or Joomla^™–based site, to a very complex, custom–built app.

A: There are lots of variables to bear in mind – the overall amount of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the present workload of our website migration experts, etc. Having said that, we do try to perform all web site migrations within a 48–hour window. Less sizeable websites are migrated much faster – usually within 24 hours.

A: We’ll require the login details for your old web hosting provider’s Control Panel and the web site’s name (domain name).

A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the contract that we’ll have with you as a customer. We’re devoted to safeguarding the security of the private info obtained from the clients. To do that, we use technical safety measures to avoid the loss, the misapplication, the modification or the unlawful leak of the personal info under our control. The measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial methods to safeguard and secure the info that we gather on the web. When we request users to submit financial info (for example, a debit card number), this info is secured using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology.

A: Your site will continue to work exactly like it did before with your former hosting provider. After we are through with the migration, your web site will be configured to work on our hosting platform and we will ask you to preview it. If it is functioning correctly, all you will need to do is change the name server records for your domain name. Your web site will be transferred over to us with no downtime whatsoever.

A: No. Aside from your login credentials for the Control Panel, we don’t need anything. We will never get in touch with your web hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the transfer either.

A: Yup. We support all standard Linux–powered hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–powered hosting platforms, because we do not provide Windows hosting solutions ourselves.Additionally, we do not support proprietary website building and management user interfaces like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
