Website hosting migration

Change Hosts. Keep the Details Under Control.

Inventory DNS, certificates, storage, scheduled tasks and mail dependencies. Coordinate a reversible transition and verify the application at the destination before changing traffic.

Where many sites get stuck

Server maintenance

Self-managed servers need operating system, runtime and certificate updates that are easy to forget.

Single-region hosting

A single server location can mean slower experiences for visitors far from it.

Opaque access

Credentials scattered across old accounts make changes and audits harder.

Who this is for

Hosting Migration: what we migrate.

For sites on ageing shared hosting, a VPS nobody patches, or credentials spread across old accounts.

  1. Scope 01

    DNS inventory

    Every A, CNAME, MX, TXT, SPF, DKIM and DMARC record is exported and reviewed before any change.

  2. Scope 02

    Access consolidation

    Registrar, DNS, hosting and analytics logins are documented and moved to accounts you own.

  3. Scope 03

    Deployment setup

    The site builds from a Git repository with preview deployments and one-step rollback.

  4. Scope 04

    Cutover plan

    TTL lowering, switch timing, SSL issuance and verification steps are written down and agreed.

Migration process

How a migration runs.

  1. 1

    Inventory

    We crawl and catalogue your hosted pages, templates, media, forms and integrations so nothing is left to memory.

  2. 2

    Map

    Every existing URL is paired with its new destination, metadata and redirect rule before a single component is built.

  3. 3

    Rebuild

    Your design and content are recreated as typed React components on a modern framework, with an editing workflow that suits your team.

  4. 4

    Verify

    Forms, redirects, responsive layouts, metadata and analytics are checked against the original inventory.

  5. 5

    Launch

    We coordinate DNS, hosting and post-launch monitoring with you, on a schedule agreed after project review.

Migration considerations

What we plan for before building.

Email lives in DNS

MX and authentication records are the most common casualty of hosting moves. They are preserved and checked after cutover.

Server-side features

If the current site depends on PHP, cron or local file storage, a hosting move alone may not be enough; we flag that early.

Subdomains and old apps

Forgotten subdomains pointing at legacy servers are listed so you can decide what to keep.

Deliverables

  • DNS record export and review
  • Access and ownership document
  • Git-based deployment pipeline
  • SSL configuration
  • Written cutover checklist
  • Post-cutover monitoring window

Not promised

  • Email hosting migration unless scoped
  • Uptime guarantees from third-party hosts

A migration plan built around your website

Inventory DNS, certificates, storage, scheduled tasks and mail dependencies. Coordinate a reversible transition and verify the application at the destination before changing traffic.

Analyze, plan, rebuild, verify, launch

We review publicly visible signals first, then confirm content, design and functionality requirements with you. We inventory URLs, map integrations and agree acceptance criteria before rebuilding. Verification covers responsive layouts, important journeys, forms, redirects and SEO essentials. Launch is coordinated with the people responsible for hosting and domain access.

What we aim to preserve

Your branding, useful content, media, important URL paths and business-critical functionality are reviewed individually. Not every plugin or feature has a direct equivalent. We explain what can be recreated, what should change and which third-party services need separate configuration.

Clear expectations

Discovery determines scope, pricing and timing. We do not promise guaranteed rankings, automatic performance gains or a completion date before review. Ongoing maintenance and security responsibilities remain part of the plan.
