Frequently Asked Questions
What does Move a Site cost?
The Move a Site service is $150.00.
What types of site does the Move a Site service actually move?
The Advanced Support Move a Site service is good for one CMS installation or static website. A single purchase is not good for full server migrations, multiple CMS installations, or subdomains. If you need to move more than a single web application (e.g., a Joomla! site and a WordPress blog), you will need to purchase multiple Move a Site services.
How long will it take me to hear from Advanced Support after placing my order?
You can expect an initial contact via support request within 24 hours of your order. After you've consulted with an Advanced Support team member, please allow 3 to 5 days for completion. If an order takes longer than anticipated, we will contact you before proceeding.
Will my site go down during the move?
Generally speaking, your site will not go down during the move, since DNS should not change until after the move is complete. The Advanced Support expert assisting you will not make any changes to your site that might cause an outage.
Advanced Support experts will test your site on your new server extensively before giving you the green light to change DNS. Because of this, it is extremely unlikely that you will experience any downtime related to your migration.
What if I notice something wrong immediately following the migration?
If something goes wrong with your site that you believe to be related to your Advanced Support Move a Site service, please respond to the support request related to your Move a Site service through your AccountCenter within one week of the move being completed. Please make sure that you do not mark the support request as "Resolved."
