Website Migration

A: If your current hosting provider can no longer match the needs of your site, or when you undergo continual downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the client service team to respond back to you, it might be a good idea to swap your hosting provider, i.e. to move all the files for your websites as well as your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At MerwinDomains, we understand that this can often be difficult and time–consuming. For this reason, we’ll do all that for you for free!Our highly experienced technical staff will move your site content from your current hosting provider to us. Our techs have got plenty of experience with web site migration and can take care of everything – from a customary WordPress–powered blog or Joomla^™–driven site, to an extremely complex, custom–made app.

A: We try to accomplish all website migrations as fast as possible. Nonetheless, we do not have a fixed time frame for website migrations. There are various factors that you have to consider – the actual size of your site and the workload of our website migration team, etc. We constantly try to perform each migration within 48 hours. With less sizeable websites, our team usually manages to finish within 24 hours.

A: We will require the login information for your current hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the web site’s name (domain name).

A: Customer privacy is among our top priorities – that’s why, both our payment page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–class SSL certificates. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard the information that we collect online. And we also have a detailed and strict Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we gather.

A: Your web site will continue to work exactly like it did before with your former web hosting provider. As soon as we are done with the migration, your website will be configured to work on our system and we will alert you to preview it. If everything is functioning properly, all you will need to do is update the NS resource records for your domain name. Your website 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 touch base with your web hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the transfer either.

A: We support all Linux–powered hosting platforms. In essence, if we can access your Control Panel, we’ll be able to transfer your web site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source website creation platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
