Q: Why should I move my site? What does website migration involve?

A: When your present web hosting provider can no longer satisfy the demands of your web site, or if you undergo continuous network downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the customer care staff to reply back to you, it might be a good idea to swap your provider, i.e. to move all the files for your websites along with your databases from your current provider to your new provider.
