Website Migration

A: If your present hosting provider can no longer meet the necessities of your site, or when you suffer from constant downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the customer support staff to get back to you, it may be a good idea to change your provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your websites together with your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At NEXSTAR, we realize that this can be difficult and time–consuming. That’s why we’ll perform all that for you at no cost!Our highly qualified technical staff reps will transfer your website content from your current web hosting provider to us. Our techs have broad experience migrating websites and are able to handle everything – from an average WordPress–driven blog or Joomla^™ CMS–powered site, to a highly complex, custom–made web application.

A: There are many factors to think about – the overall amount of web files, the size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the present workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. Nonetheless, we do our very best to perform all web site migrations in a 48–hour time frame. Smaller web sites are transferred much faster – typically in less than 24 hours.

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

A: User privacy is indeed one of our leading responsibilities – for this reason, both our payment page and our Control Panel login page are protected with enterprise–level SSLs. We employ security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial procedures to safeguard the info that we gather on the web. And we have a very detailed and strict Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we gather.

A: While we transfer your web site, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your old hosting provider. As soon as the transfer is over, we’ll make sure that everything is working properly and that the integrity of your web content is not affected before informing you that the migration is done. After that, we’ll explain to you how to move the domain to your hosting account with us and how to modify the DNS records.

A: Nah. Aside from your login info for the Control Panel, we will not need anything. We will never touch base with your web hosting provider. They will not know anything about the transfer either.

A: We can migrate your website from any hosting provider or any Linux–based hosting platform given that we can get access to the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only web sites that we are unable to migrate are those based on closed–source software applications such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
