Website Migration

A: When your present web hosting provider can no longer answer the needs of your web site, or if you experience frequent downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the customer support staff to reply back to you, it might be a smart idea to switch your provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your websites together with your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At JDC Hosting, we understand that this can be hard and time–consuming. That is the reason why we’ll do all that for you at no cost!Our highly experienced technical team representatives will transfer your website content from your current web hosting provider to us. Our techs have a lot of experience migrating websites and are able to handle everything – from a regular WordPress–powered blog or Joomla^™ CMS–based web site, to a highly elaborate, custom–made web app.

A: There are many aspects to bear 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 web site migration professionals, etc. Yet, we do our very best to perform all web site migrations in a 48–hour time frame. Smaller–sized websites are migrated faster – typically in under 24 hours.

A: We will require the login information for your old web hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the website’s name (domain name).

A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the agreement that we will have with you as a client. We are committed to safeguarding the security of the personal information collected from the clients. To do this, we employ technical security measures in order to prevent the loss, the abuse, the modification or the illegal leakage of the personal data under our control. The security measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the information that we collect online. When we request clients to present financial info (for example, a credit card number), this info is encrypted using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology.

A: While we transfer your site, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your former hosting provider. Once the transfer is finished, we’ll make certain that everything is functioning correctly and that the integrity of your web content is not jeopardized before notifying you that the migration is done. Then we will tell you how to move the domain over to your hosting account with us and how to change your DNS records.

A: While we move your website content, your web hosting provider won’t be aware of the transfer at all. We won’t get in touch with them in any way.

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