Website and hosting migration

Moving to a better host or your own server shouldn’t mean a weekend of broken pages and lost email. A planned migration copies everything first and switches over quietly.

The short answer

We migrate websites and hosting: cPanel to cPanel (including full account transfers in WHM), shared hosting to a VPS, or between servers. Files, databases, email accounts and messages, cron jobs and SSL move together; DNS is switched at a quiet time with short TTLs, and a final sync catches anything that changed during the move.

What’s included

  • Full account transfers between cPanel servers, or manual migration from other panels.
  • Files, databases and settings, including PHP versions and cron jobs.
  • Email accounts and messages, with a final sync after the switch.
  • DNS switch-over planned with low TTLs for a fast change.
  • SSL reissued on the new server.
  • Testing of every page, form and email account afterwards.

How we do it

  1. Audit the current hosting.
  2. Prepare the new server.
  3. Copy everything and test on the new server before switching.
  4. Switch DNS at an agreed time.
  5. Sync and verify, then decommission the old hosting.

Testing before the switch

We test the migrated website on the new server before anyone sees it, using a temporary address or a local hosts entry, so problems are found before the switch, not after.

Common questions

Will our website go down?

Usually not noticeably: everything runs on the new server before DNS is switched, and the switch itself takes minutes to spread.

Can you move our email too?

Yes, accounts and messages, with a final sync.

Can you move many sites at once?

Yes: we migrate whole servers for agencies and resellers.
