Website Migration

A: If your current hosting provider can no longer measure up to the necessities of your site, or when you face frequent network downtime, or if you are forced to wait for hours for the client care team to respond to you, it may be a smart idea to swap your web hosting provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your websites together with your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At August Wusterhausen Consulting, we understand that this can often be hard & time–consuming. This is the reason why we’ll perform all that for you at no cost!Our highly knowledgeable technical team will transfer your site content from your current provider to us. Our techs have got plenty of experience with website migration and are able to take care of anything – from a conventional WordPress–driven blog or Joomla^™–driven web site, to a very elaborate, custom–built application.

A: We try to carry out all website migrations as fast as possible. Even so, we do not have a fixed time frame for website migrations. There are different aspects that you need to consider – the mere size of your site and the workload of our web site migration team, etc. We constantly try to perform each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller websites, our team usually manages to finish in under 24 hours.

A: We do not require any sensitive information. We’ll need, however, the login info for your present hosting account as well as the name of the site that you want to move.

A: Before we can start the migration of your web hosting account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to share basically the same details you have provided to your current web hosting provider. We also have a very rigorous Privacy Policy, which describes how sensitive information is dealt with.

A: Nah. Your site will stay available online during the migration. Once everything is completed on our end, we will notify you so that you can examine it and check for any problems. If everything’s okay, all you will have to do is update your domain name’s DNS settings.

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

A: We can migrate your website from any web hosting provider or any Linux–powered web hosting platform given that we can gain access to the Control Panel and there’s FTP access available.The only web sites that we cannot migrate are the ones based on closed–source software applications such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
