If your website is still running on Joomla! versions 4.x.x, 3.x.x, 2.5.x, 1.7.x, 1.6.x, 1.5.x, or even Joomla! 1.0.x, it is strongly recommended that you migrate to the current version, Joomla! 5.x.x. Versions older than 4.4.x are no longer supported with security updates, which leaves your site vulnerable to hacking and the potential loss of content. As of October 17, 2023, version 4.3.4 has not been receiving security updates. Therefore, it is crucial to upgrade to at least Joomla! 4.4.x. However, it is even more prudent to migrate directly to Joomla! 5.x.x, as Joomla! 4.4.x will only be supported with bug fixes and security updates until October 14, 2025.
The migration process involves several steps. First, the new Joomla! files are installed in a subfolder of your webspace. Next, the database is transferred to the new structure, and typically, the template (the files responsible for the design and layout of your site) will need to be reprogrammed.
For those migrating from the very old Joomla! 1.0.x, an intermediate step is required: you must first migrate to Joomla! 1.5.26 before you can proceed to Joomla! 3.10.12, and then upgrade to Joomla! 4.4.x and finally to 5.x.x.
I have extensive experience with numerous migrations and upgrades, including those for other content management and e-commerce systems, allowing me to bring your sites up to date at a fair price. The effort required for migration can vary significantly depending on the Joomla! extensions that are installed.
I can offer you five basic prices:
- Joomla! Migration and upgrades to 5.x.x based on version 1.0.x: from 348,00 € incl.
- Joomla! Migration and upgrades to 5.x.x based on version 1.5.x: from 248,00 € incl.
- Joomla! Upgrades to version 5.x.x starting from version 2.5.x: from 198,00 € incl.
- Joomla! Upgrades to version 5.x.x starting from version 3.x.x: from 148,00 € incl.
- Joomla! Upgrade to version 5.x.x from version 4.x.x: from 98,00 € incl.
Depending on which third-party extensions are installed and may need to be migrated, the price increases accordingly.
Please do not delay the due migration or upgrade of your installation for too long and please use my service, because if your pages are compromised, the damage is usually very large.
