A: If your current hosting provider can no longer match the necessities of your site, or when you undergo frequent downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the support staff to respond to you, it may be a smart idea to switch your hosting provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your web sites along with your databases from your current provider to your new provider. At Efectiweb, we know that this can be hard and time–consuming. That is why we’ll do all that for you at no cost!Our qualified technical staff will migrate your website content from your present web hosting provider to us. Our techs have got extensive experience migrating web sites and can take care of anything – from an ordinary WordPress weblog or Joomla^™ CMS–driven website, to an extremely complex, custom–made web application.

A: There are lots of factors to keep in mind – the total number of web files, the size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the current workload of our website migration professionals, etc. Having said that, we do try to accomplish all web site migrations in a 48–hour time period. Smaller sites are migrated faster – usually within 24 hours.

A: Yup. We will need to have the name of the site that you wish us to transfer. We’ll also require a way to log in to your old web hosting account so that we can get the content associated with your site.

A: Before we can begin the transfer of your account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to disclose precisely the same info you have provided to your previous host. We’ve also got a very strict Privacy Policy, which specifies how delicate info is dealt with.

A: While we transfer your website, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your former hosting provider. After the transfer is complete, we will ensure that everything is functioning correctly and that the integrity of your content is not jeopardized prior to telling you that the migration is completed. After that, we will explain to you how to transfer the domain to your web hosting account with us and how to modify the DNS settings.

A: No. Aside from your login details for the Control Panel, we do not need anything. We’ll never contact your hosting provider. They will not know anything about the migration either.

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