Q: Just how long will the web site migration process take?
A: There are a lot of variables to consider – the total amount of web files, the size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the current workload of our website migration experts, etc. Even so, we do our best to carry out all web site migrations in a 48–hour time frame. Smaller web sites are transferred much faster – typically in less than 24 hours.
