Q: Website migration seems like a lot of work. Just how long does it take?

A: There are plenty of aspects to bear in mind – the total amount of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the present workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. However, we do try to perform all web site migrations in a 48–hour time window. Smaller websites are transferred much faster – typically in under 24 hours.
