"Now it's time to say our farewells to our old friend Joomla 1.0. As of July 22, 2009, the Joomla 1.0.x series will no longer be supported. As a user, is it required that you upgrade from Joomla 1.0.x? Absolutely not since security upgrades will be supported until this date. But if you're a user who hasn't yet upgraded to Joomla 1.5, you should do so in order to start reaping the benefits the latest version has to offer. "

Above is the excerpts from the main article on  Joomla Community. Last release of  Joomla 1.10.x series was  J 1.10.15 on 21 feb 2008.

with Joomla announcing retirement of Joomla 1.10.x series in 2009 and by July 2009 end  J 1.10.x series extensions would no longer be available on Joomla extension directory. Therefore, one should migrate to J 1.5.x series so as to keep pace with Joomla development. That's what we did to Joomspot.net and to most of our clients Joomla's too.

We offer :

• Migration of Joomla 1.10.x to J .1.5.x.
• Migration of components /modules / plugins (if supported by new J 1.5.x, else we suggest alternatives).
• Template upgrades to Joomla 1.5.xx versions.
• Upgrade to latest versions of the components while migrating.

How do we do it :

• Either on your server or on our server.
• Admin login and ftp details required and sometimes database access.
  • We clone your site to a sub-folder.
  • upgrade components to latest versions (if necessary).
  • Migrate content / components to J 1.5.xx version.
  • Set up template / modules.
  • Testing phase
  • Final sync of users / other data.
  • Replace old site with Latest Site.

How much we charge :

• Our Joomla Migration Services starts from $ 100 but a final price is quoted only after evaluating the site, 3rd party components and structure.
• Our clients pay only on satisfaction.
• We are quite considerate for Non Profit educational / Community Service portals and charge only the minimum possible.

Time Frames :

• Joomla Migration work takes usually 1-2 days, testing phase takes minutes to hours.
