Website Migration
-
Q: What precisely does website migration mean and what does it include?
A: When your current hosting provider can no longer meet the requirements of your site, or when you go through constant downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the support staff to respond back to you, it may be a smart idea to switch your hosting provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your websites as well as your databases from your current provider to your new provider. At liquidnet.au, we understand that this can be hard & time–consuming. This is why we will perform all that for you at no cost!Our knowledgeable technical staff representatives will migrate your web site content from your present provider to us. Our technicians have a lot of experience with website migration and are able to take care of anything – from a customary WordPress–based weblog or Joomla™ CMS–driven website, to a very complex, custom–made web application.

Q: How much time will it take for my web site to be transferred over to your platform?
A: We strive to accomplish all website migrations as fast as possible. Nonetheless, we do not have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are several things that you have to consider – the mere size of your website and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We constantly try to perform each migration in less than 48 hours. With less sizeable web sites, our team usually manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

Q: My personal privacy is vital to me. What info do you need to have?
A: Yep. We’ll need the name of the web site that you would like us to migrate. We’ll also require a way to log into your present hosting account so that we can get the files associated with your website.

Q: The login details for my hosting account are sensitive. How can I rely on you?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the agreement that we’ll have with you as a client. We are focused on protecting the security of the personal data gathered from the customers. To do that, we use technical security measures to prevent the loss, the abuse, the modification or the unauthorized leak of the personal info under our control. The security measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial procedures to protect and secure the details that we receive online. When we request customers to present financial info (such as a credit card number), this info is secured using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption method.

Q: Will there be any downtime for my website?
A: Nope. Your website will remain accessible online during the migration. Once everything is done on our end, we will inform you so that you can examine it and check for any problems. If everything is fine, all you will need to do is modify your domain’s DNS records.

Q: Will my old hosting provider learn that I am leaving them?
A: While we migrate your website content, your hosting provider won’t be aware of the transfer at all. We will not get in touch with them in any way.

Q: Does it make a difference what platform my present provider is using?
A: We can migrate your web site from any hosting provider or any Linux–powered web hosting platform on condition that we can access the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only sites that we cannot migrate are the ones based on closed–source software applications like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
