How long have you been moving websites?
WebSiteMovers.com has been moving thousands of websites every year since
2003.
How can I be sure my customers will be moved smoothly?
WebSiteMovers's managers and administrators have all had extensive
previous employment at some of the industry's largest and most
successful web-hosting companies. We understand the needs of our
clients and most importantly the expectations of your customers.
Through our experience moving over 100,000 websites we have the
experience to avoid downtime at all costs.
I understand you will move my website(s) files, but what about
making sure the website works exactly as it did before the move?
When
you relocate your website to a new web host you need to do it
properly, so it works exactly as it did before. That involves much
more than copying the directory where your web site is located to
its new location. Correct moving includes copying the files,
verifying and updating links on all the pages, creating and
migrating databases, installing and configuring CGI scripts and
shopping carts, setting up email accounts, moving mailing lists,
transferring domain names and updating DNS entries, etc.
WebSiteMovers.com takes care of ALL of this for you.
How long does a move take?
Single
personal websites can typically be moved within a few hours. Larger
moves including small resellers and full hosting companies will vary
greatly depending on the size and complexity of their accounts. In
most cases all larger moves can be completed within 30 days or less.
How much will this cost?
The
cost of a single website move can be as little as $59.95 moves and
will increase depending on the additional services your require
(shopping carts, cgi-scripts, mySQL databases, mailing lists etc.).
Resellers and larger hosting companies with a greater number of
accounts to move will receive discounts based on volume. To receive

Is moving my account(s) worth it?
Absolutely. A move from an unqualified or overcharging host can make
or break the success of your internet company and charge you a
fortune. A reseller/webhost might expect to add up to 50% to their
bottom line.
Will my current host know I'm leaving them?
In most
cases WebSiteMovers.com can complete a move seemlessly without ever
alerting your current web host until the move is complete.
I cannot afford to move all of my sites at once, what options do I
have?
WebSiteMovers.com offers interest-free financing upon
request. Please email
sales@websitemovers.com for details.
What types of control panels can you work with?
WebSiteMovers is experienced with CPanel, Ensim, Plesk, Alabanza,
HSphere and many more control panels. We can work with just about
any custom control panel your site(s) are currently using. In most
cases we do cross-platform moves, that is, we move from one control
panel to a completely different control panel. If you or your
clients aren't satisfied with their current control panel we can
accomodate migrations to something more suitable.
What kind of guarantee do you provide?
WebSiteMovers guarantees that your site(s) will work exactly as they
do now on your new shared or dedicated hosting location. If for some
reason you aren't satisfied with the move, we will point your site
back to your old provider and refund any and
all fees paid. WebSiteMovers offers 10 days of helpdesk
support after the completion of any migration if for some reason you
don't notice an error on your site after the move is complete.
I will be giving you confidential information including my site(s)
content, client lists, root access to my servers, etc. How can I be
sure this information will be kept confidential?
WebSiteMovers signs a confidentiality agreement with every client we
move. We have moved over 100,000 sites in 2003. We do not sell our
client lists, the email addresses of those who contact us or
information about your personal or web hosting company.
I wish to move my website but I do not know where I should move it,
do you have suggestions?
WebSiteMovers has a number of hosting companies we've affiliated
with who provide excellent service. Please go to our
affiliates page for links to those affiliate websites. We try
not to directly get involved with your decision making process while
choosing a new host.
How
can I pay?
WebSiteMovers accepts payments via credit card (Visa,
Mastercard, and Discover). We also accept bank wire
transfers and check payments. We must receive a deposit before
service commences.
My web host is also my developer. I'm a
bit anxious about leaving them because I know nothing about updating my
web site or how it runs. Can you help?
This is all to common a scenario. Many of
our clients call with a nightmare scenario where service or downtime
have become non-existent from their existing designer/host and they
don't know where to turn. WebSiteMovers can not only assist you in
getting your site away from your old designer/host to a 3rd party
provider but we can take over the administrative of your old webmaster
in very short order. If you wish to continue to use us for
webmaster like tasks or have us automate your site so you can perform
many of the tasks you're paying for on a monthly basis we'll be happy to
assist.
My website is a heavily used e-commerce site, we cannot
afford to be down for even 1 minute. Can you transfer it without
ANY downtime?
WebSiteMovers guarantees no
downtime during your e-commerce site migration.
We will not touch the existing hosting platform during the migration
process except to make a copy of any databases and files on the existing
host. We will then begin our thorough testing process and once
we're ready to point the site to the new server we'll sync your
database(s) to prevent data loss after transfer.
My website has a
heavily used bulletin board, can you transfer the site so we don't loose
any posts or new users in the process?
Websitemovers guarantees no downtime during your
bulletin board site migration. We will not touch the existing
hosting platform during the migration process except to make a copy of
any databases and files on the existing host. We will then begin
our thorough testing process of your bulletin board application on the
new host and once we're ready to point the site to the new server we'll
sync your database(s) to prevent data loss after transfer.
