Website Migration
-
Q: What precisely does web site migration imply and what does it entail?
A: If your current hosting provider can no longer answer the needs of your site, or if you experience constant downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the customer support team to respond back to you, it may be a good idea to change your hosting provider, i.e. to move all the files for your web sites together with your databases from your current provider to your new provider. At Future Profits, we understand that this can be difficult & time–consuming. For this reason, we’ll perform all that for you at no cost!Our highly capable technical team representatives will move your site content from your present web hosting provider to us. Our techs have a lot of experience with website migration and are able to take care of anything – from a normal WordPress–powered weblog or Joomla™ site, to an extremely complex, custom–built web app.

Q: How long will it take for my site to be migrated over to your platform?
A: There are lots of factors to bear in mind – the overall amount of web files, the size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the present workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. That being said, we do our very best to perform all web site migrations within a 48–hour period. Less sizeable websites are migrated much faster – usually in under 24 hours.
-
Q: My privacy is essential for me. What data do you require?
A: We don’t gather any information that is private. We will need, though, the login information for your old hosting account and the name of the web site that you’d like to move.
-
Q: I give you access to sensitive data. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the contract that we’ll have with you as a client. We are focused on safeguarding the security of the personal info collected from the customers. To accomplish this, we use technical safety measures to prevent the loss, the misuse, the modification or the unlawful leak of the private info under our control. The security measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the info that we accumulate on the Internet. When we ask users to supply financial info (for example, a debit card number), this info is encoded using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology.

Q: How about downtime? Will my website be offline?
A: No. Your site will continue to be available online during the migration. Once everything is done on our end, we’ll let you know so that you can preview it and check for problems. If everything’s OK, all you will need to do is update your domain name’s DNS resource records.
-
Q: Will my current web hosting provider need to provide any info/help?
A: While we move your website content, your hosting provider won’t be aware of the transfer at all. We will never contact them in any way.

Q: Which web hosting platforms do you support?
A: We support all Linux–based web hosting platforms. Fundamentally, if we can access your Control Panel, we will be able to migrate your website.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source site management platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
