What’s Required on Your End
To ensure a smooth and efficient migration, we need the following from you:

- Domain registrar login for DNS configuration, if not managed by the current hosting provider.

Potential Challenges and Overages
While we strive to complete the migration within the 6-hour timeframe, certain challenges may arise that could extend the process. These include:
- Large Websites: If your site has a large database, extensive media files, or multiple subdomains, the migration process may take longer.
- Custom Configurations: Sites with heavy customization, complex plugins, or unique server configurations may require additional time to ensure everything is transferred correctly.
- Technical Issues: Unforeseen technical issues, such as compatibility problems with your current hosting environment or corrupted files, may also extend the migration time.
Communication and Next Steps
- Overage Notification: If we determine that your migration will exceed the 6-hour limit, we will contact you immediately to discuss the situation.
- Your Options:
- Continue the Migration: If you agree to the additional time and cost, we will proceed with the migration at the same hourly rate of $55.
- Pause or Cancel: If you choose not to continue with the additional time required, we will pause the migration and issue a refund for any uncompleted work beyond the initial 6 hours.
