Website Migration
-
Q: What exactly does web site migration mean and what does it include?
A: If your present web hosting provider can no longer match the requirements of your site, or if you undergo frequent downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the client care team to reply back to you, it may be a good idea to swap your web hosting provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your websites together with your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At Crane Internet Solutions, we understand that this can be difficult & time–consuming. This is the reason why we will accomplish all that for you at no cost!Our highly competent technical team will transfer your website content from your present hosting provider to us. Our techs have extensive experience with website migration and can handle everything – from a conventional WordPress blog or Joomla™–driven website, to a highly elaborate, custom–made app.

Q: Web site migration seems like lots of work. How long can it take?
A: There are plenty of aspects to keep in mind – the total amount of web files, the size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the current workload of our website migration experts, etc. Still, we do try to accomplish all web site migrations within a 48–hour time period. Less sizeable websites are migrated much faster – typically within 24 hours.
-
Q: What data will I have to provide to your Website Migration Department?
A: We don’t require any information that is personal. We’ll need, though, the login info for your present hosting account as well as the name of the website that you would like to migrate.

Q: The login info for my hosting account is delicate. How can I trust you?
A: User privacy is one of our greatest priorities – for this reason, both our payment transaction page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–class SSLs. We employ safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative methods to safeguard the data that we assemble on the Internet. And we also have a very detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we gather.

Q: Will there be any downtime for my site?
A: Your site will work exactly like it did before with your previous hosting provider. As soon as we have finished the transfer, 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 have to do is update the name server resource records for your domain. Your site will be transferred over to us without any downtime.
-
Q: Will my current hosting provider learn that I am leaving them?
A: Nope. Aside from your login info for the Control Panel, we do not need anything. We will never get in touch with your web hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the migration either.
-
Q: Which hosting providers can you transfer web content from?
A: We can migrate your site from any web hosting provider or any Linux–based web hosting platform on condition that we can access the Control Panel and there’s FTP access available.The only sites that we’re unable to migrate are the ones based on closed–source software applications like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
