Website Migration

A: When your current web hosting provider can no longer answer the needs of your website, or when you suffer from constant downtime, or if you are forced to wait for hours for the client service staff to get back to you, it might be smart to change your web hosting provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your web sites together with your databases from your current provider to your new provider. At OrcaDomains, we are aware that this can be hard & time–consuming. This is why we will accomplish all that for you at no cost!Our experienced technical staff will move your site content from your present web hosting provider to us. Our technicians have got extensive experience with web site migration and can handle everything – from a typical WordPress weblog or Joomla^™–driven site, to a very elaborate, custom–built app.

A: There are a lot of variables to take into consideration – the overall amount of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the present workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. Having said that, we do our best to accomplish all web site migrations in a 48–hour time window. Less sizeable sites are transferred faster – usually in under 24 hours.

A: Yup. We will require the name of the website that you want us to migrate. We will also require a means to log into your old hosting account so that we can get the files associated with your website.

A: Your website will continue to work just like it did before with your old web hosting provider. Once we are through with the migration, your site will be configured to work on our hosting platform and we’ll ask you to preview it. If it is working properly, all you will need to do is edit the NS resource records for your domain name. Your web site will be migrated to us with no downtime whatsoever.

A: Nah. Apart from your login credentials for the Control Panel, we won’t need anything. We will never get in touch with your hosting provider. They will not know anything about the migration either.

Basically, if we can access your Control Panel, we will be able to migrate your web site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source website management platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
