Website Migration

A: If your present web hosting provider can no longer answer the demands of your web site, or when you undergo frequent downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the help desk staff to get back to you, it may be a good idea to swap your hosting provider, i.e. to move all the files for your sites along with your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At R. I. Designs, we realize that this can be hard & time–consuming. This is the reason why we will perform all that for you for free!Our highly competent technical staff members will transfer your site content from your current hosting provider to us. Our technicians have plenty of experience with web site migration and can take care of anything – from an average WordPress weblog or Joomla^™ CMS–driven web site, to an extremely elaborate, custom–made application.

A: We try to accomplish all website migrations as quickly as possible. Nonetheless, we do not have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are certain variables that you need to take into account – the very size of your website and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We constantly try to carry out each migration in under 48 hours. With less sizeable sites, our staff usually manages to finish in under 24 hours.

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

A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the agreement that we’ll have with you as a customer. We’re focused on protecting the safety of the private details collected from the clients. To do that, we use technical safety measures so as to avoid the loss, the misapplication, the alteration or the unauthorized leak of the personal information under our control. The safety measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial methods to safeguard and secure the info that we receive online. When we ask customers to supply financial information (for instance, a credit card number), this info is encoded using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.

A: No. Your web site will continue to be available online during the migration. As soon as everything is done on our end, we will notify you so that you can preview it and check for any problems. If everything is OK, all you will have to do is update your domain name’s DNS records.

A: Nah. Apart from your login info for the Control Panel, we don’t require anything. We will never touch base with your web hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the transfer either.

A: We can transfer your web site from any hosting provider or any Linux–based web hosting platform on condition that we can get access to the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only websites that we can’t migrate are those based on closed–source software applications such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
