Website Migration

A: The web site migration service available at Efficient Sites is entirely free of cost and involves moving all your website files, databases and emails from your current web hosting provider to your brand new web hosting account with us. We’ll also revise all the settings required for your web sites to be fully functional on our ultramodern cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are fully capable of moving any type of website. With years of experience in the industry, they’re experts in the inner workings of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other famous Control Panels. For them, moving a custom web application with many custom libraries is as easy as moving a plain WordPress blog.

A: We try to carry out all web site migrations as quickly as possible. However, we don’t have a set time frame for website migrations. There are certain things that you have to take into account – the very size of your web site and the workload of our web site migration team, etc. We always strive to carry out each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller–sized websites, our staff typically manages to finish within 24 hours.

A: We’ll require the login details for your current hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the web site’s name (domain name).

A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the contract that we’ll have with you as a customer. We are committed to protecting the security of the private data collected from the customers. To achieve this, we employ technical safety measures to prevent the loss, the misappropriation, the alteration or the illegal disclosure of the personal information under our control. The measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative operations to protect and secure the info that we accumulate on the web. When we ask users to present financial info (for instance, a credit card number), this info is encoded using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technique.

A: Your web site will continue to work just like it did before with your former hosting provider. When we are done with the migration, your web site will be configured to work on our system and we will alert you to preview it. If it is working properly, all you will have to do is update the NS records associated with your domain name. Your website will be transferred over to us without any downtime whatsoever.

A: No. We’ll never get in touch with your web hosting provider about anything. They will not be aware of the web site transfer either.

A: We can migrate your site from any hosting provider or any Linux–based web hosting platform provided that we can gain access to the Control Panel and there is File Transfer Protocol access available.The only web sites that we cannot transfer are the ones based on closed–source software apps such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
