Website Migration

A: If your present web hosting provider can no longer answer the needs of your website, or when you experience frequent downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the help desk support staff to respond back to you, it might be a clever idea to switch your web hosting provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your sites as well as your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At TulipHost, we understand that this can often be hard and time–consuming. That is the reason why we’ll perform all that for you at no cost!Our highly accomplished technical team representatives will move your site content from your current web hosting provider to us. Our techs have extensive experience with website migration and can take care of anything – from a conventional WordPress blog or Joomla^™ CMS–based website, to a highly complex, custom–made application.

A: There are plenty of aspects to keep in mind – the total number of files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the current workload of our website migration professionals, etc. That said, we do try to accomplish all website migrations within a 48–hour period. Smaller–sized web sites are migrated faster – typically within 24 hours.

A: We don’t request any personal data. We will require, though, the login info for your old hosting account along with the name of the site that you’d like to move.

A: Before we can start the migration of your account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us requires that you to disclose practically the same information you have given to your present hosting provider. We’ve also got an extremely strict Privacy Policy, which specifies how private information is dealt with.

A: While we move your site, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your old hosting provider. After the transfer is completed, we will ensure that everything is functioning properly and that the integrity of your web content is not affected before notifying you that the transfer is complete. Then we will instruct you how to move the domain name over to your hosting account with us and how to edit your DNS settings.

A: No. Aside from your login credentials for the Control Panel, we won’t need anything. We’ll never touch base with your web hosting provider. They will not know anything about the migration either.

A: Yep. We support all conventional Linux–powered web hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–driven hosting platforms, as we don’t provide Windows web hosting services ourselves.In addition, we do not support proprietary website building and management interfaces such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
