Website Migration

Q: Why do I have to transfer my site? What does web site migration entail?
A: If your present hosting provider can no longer match the necessities of your web site, or when you go through continual downtime, or if you are forced to wait for hours for the help desk support team to respond to you, it might be smart to swap your provider, i.e. to move all the files for your web sites as well as your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At host.iz.rs, we realize that this can often be difficult and time–consuming. This is the reason why we will accomplish all that for you for free!Our professional technical staff members will migrate your website content from your current provider to us. Our techs have plenty of experience with web site migration and are able to handle anything – from a standard WordPress blog or Joomla™ CMS–powered site, to a very complex, custom–made web app.

Q: Just how long will it take for my web site to be moved over to your platform?
A: We try to implement all website migrations as fast as possible. Nonetheless, we don’t have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are different elements that you have to consider – the mere size of your site and the workload of our web site migration team, etc. We always try to carry out each migration in under 48 hours. With smaller websites, our team usually manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

Q: What data will I be required to provide to your Website Migration Department?
A: Yep. We will need the name of the website that you want us to move. We will also need a means to log into your present hosting account so that we can get the content pertaining to your website.

Q: I give you access to delicate info. How can I be sure that you won’t misuse it?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the contract that we’ll have with you as a customer. We’re dedicated to safeguarding the safety of the personal information gathered from the clients. To achieve that, we employ technical safety measures to prevent the loss, the misapplication, the alteration or the unlawful disclosure of the private information under our control. The security measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative operations to protect and secure the information that we gather on the web. When we request clients to submit financial info (such as a debit card number), this info is masked using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technique.

Q: How about downtime? Will my website be unavailable?
A: Nope. Your website will continue to be fully operational during the transfer. As soon as everything is completed on our end, we will inform you so that you can examine it and check for any problems. If everything’s OK, all you will need to do is update your domain name’s DNS resource records.

Q: Will my old hosting provider learn that I am leaving them?
A: Nah. We will never touch base with your hosting provider about anything. They will not be aware of the website transfer either.

Q: Does it matter what platform my present hosting provider is using?
A: We support all Linux–based web hosting platforms. Essentially, if we can obtain access to your Control Panel, we will be able to transfer your site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source site management platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
