Website Migration

A: If your current web hosting provider can no longer measure up to the requirements of your website, or when you undergo constant downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the support staff to respond back to you, it may be a smart idea to change your hosting provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your websites together with your databases from your present provider to your new provider. At Patriot Internet, we understand that this can be difficult & time–consuming. Because of this, we’ll do all that for you at no cost!Our skilled technical team representatives will transfer your website content from your current hosting provider to us. Our technicians have lots of experience migrating websites and are able to handle everything – from an average WordPress–powered blog or Joomla^™–based website, to a very complex, custom–made web app.

A: We strive to perform all website migrations as quickly as possible. Nonetheless, we do not have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are different factors that you have to consider – the very size of your web site and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We constantly strive to perform each migration in under 48 hours. With smaller sites, our team usually manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

A: We will need the login information for your old hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the website’s name (domain name).

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 disclose virtually the same details you have given to your old host. We also have a very rigorous Privacy Policy, which specifies how sensitive information is dealt with.

A: Nah. Your website will remain accessible online during the transfer. As soon as everything is completed on our end, we’ll notify you so that you can preview it and check for any problems. If everything’s alright, all you will have to do is edit your domain’s DNS resource records.

A: While we transfer your website content, your hosting provider will not be aware of the migration at all. We will never get in touch with them in any way.

A: Yes. We support all standard Linux–based hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–powered web hosting platforms, because we don’t provide Windows web hosting services ourselves.In addition, we don’t support proprietary web site building and management tools such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
