Q: Website migration sounds like lots of work. Just how long can it take?

A: We strive to implement all website migrations as fast as possible. Nevertheless, we don’t have a set time frame for website migrations. There are certain aspects that you have to take into account – the mere size of your website and the workload of our website migration team, etc. We always strive to carry out each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller–sized sites, our team typically manages to finish within 24 hours.
