Website Migration

A: The web site migration service offered by WebFire Hosting is totally free and involves moving all your web files, databases and emails from your current hosting provider to your brand new web hosting account with us. We’ll also revise all the settings required for your websites to be fully functional on our state–of–the–art cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of moving any sort of site. With years of work experience in this field, they’re well–versed in the specificities of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other commonly used Control Panels. For them, moving a custom app with numerous custom libraries is as easy as transferring a simple WordPress–based weblog.

A: There are lots of aspects to think about – the overall amount of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the present workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. Even so, we do our best to perform all website migrations in a 48–hour period. Less sizeable web sites are transferred faster – usually in less than 24 hours.

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

A: Before we can begin the migration of your hosting account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to disclose exactly the same details you have provided to your previous web hosting provider. We’ve also got an extremely strict Privacy Policy, which describes how sensitive information is dealt with.

A: No. Your website will continue to be online during the transfer. Once everything is done on our end, we’ll notify you so that you can examine it and check for problems. If everything’s fine, all you will need to do is modify your domain name’s DNS settings.

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

A: We support all Linux–based hosting platforms. Fundamentally, if we can obtain access to your Control Panel, we will be able to transfer your site.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source site management platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
