INFRA / MIGRATION

A controlled move, not a hopeful copy

Move the website without moving the problems with it.

We inventory the current site, prepare the destination and control the cutover so files, data, domains and search signals move as one project.

  • Pre-move inventory
  • Controlled cutover
  • Post-launch verification

WHEN THIS FITS

Start with the situation you recognise.

01

You are moving to a new host

Transfer the site with backups, destination checks and a planned DNS cutover.

02

A redesign or platform change affects existing URLs

Protect important content and redirects while the new implementation replaces the old one.

03

A previous move caused errors or lost traffic

Audit files, database, DNS, certificates and redirect behaviour to find what was missed.

A complete scope, without the mystery.

A website migration crosses application, hosting, DNS and search boundaries. We plan those dependencies before the public switch.

  • Current-site and hosting inventory
  • Full pre-migration backup
  • Destination and staging preparation
  • Files and database transfer
  • WordPress and hosting migrations
  • DNS and SSL cutover
  • Redirect and URL checks
  • Post-launch functional and availability testing

THE WORK

Four stages. One visible line of responsibility.

  1. 01

    Define the outcome

    We confirm what success means, what is in scope and which systems or people are affected.

  2. 02

    Inspect the current state

    We review the available evidence, dependencies and access before making a material change.

  3. 03

    Implement deliberately

    Approved work is completed in a controlled sequence, with backups or rollback steps where appropriate.

  4. 04

    Verify and hand over

    We check the agreed result and document the ownership, remaining risks and next actions.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Useful outputs, not a vague “done”.

01

A migration checklist

Source, destination, dependencies, risks and rollback assets documented.

02

A staged transfer

The site moved and reviewed before public DNS is changed where the environment allows it.

03

A launch record

Cutover, availability, forms, certificates and agreed redirect checks verified after launch.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What to know before we begin.

Can you migrate a WordPress website to new hosting?

Yes. We transfer the files and database, prepare the destination and manage the agreed cutover checks.

Will the website be offline during the move?

We aim to minimise disruption through staging and DNS planning. The exact approach depends on the current and destination hosts.

Can you migrate a site to a new domain?

Yes, with URL, redirect, analytics and search implications included in the plan.

Do you keep a backup of the old website?

A pre-migration backup is part of the normal process, with retention and handover agreed for the project.

Tell us what needs to change.

Share the current situation, what you have already tried and the result you need. We will come back with the most sensible next step.
