Website Migration

A: When your current web hosting provider can no longer satisfy the demands of your web site, or when you go through continuous network downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the technical support team to respond to you, it may be a good idea to change your hosting provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your sites together with your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At Fish Dog Domains hosting, we are aware that this can be hard and time–consuming. That’s why we will do all that for you at no cost!Our highly skilled technical staff will move your website content from your current provider to us. Our techs have got a lot of experience migrating websites and can handle everything – from a customary WordPress–based blog or Joomla^™ CMS–powered web site, to a very elaborate, custom–built web application.

A: There are a lot of variables to keep in mind – the total number of web files, the size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the current workload of our website migration professionals, etc. Nonetheless, we do our best to perform all web site migrations in a 48–hour window. Smaller websites are migrated much faster – usually in under 24 hours.

Then we will instruct you how to transfer the domain name over to your web hosting account with us and how to modify your DNS records.
