You are moving to a new host
Transfer the site with backups, destination checks and a planned DNS cutover.
INFRA / MIGRATION
A controlled move, not a hopeful copy
Business Website Migration Services
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
When Website Migration Is Needed
A redesign or platform change affects existing URLs
Protect important content and redirects while the new implementation replaces the old one.
A previous move caused errors or lost traffic
Audit files, database, DNS, certificates and redirect behaviour to find what was missed.
WHAT WE CAN HELP WITH
What Website Migration Includes
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
DEFINE WHAT IS MOVING
Host, domain and application are separate layers.
Same domain, new hosting
Copy the application and data to a prepared destination, test it away from public traffic, then redirect the existing domain when the new environment is ready.
New domain or URL structure
The move also needs URL mapping, redirects, canonical and analytics changes so visitors and search engines are not sent into broken or duplicated paths.
Connected services
Email, forms, payments, scheduled tasks, licences, APIs, CDN rules and external storage may not live inside the website backup. Each dependency needs an explicit destination or unchanged owner.
WHAT IS MOVED
Types of Website Migration
Host-to-host website migration
Website migration between hosting providers with the same domain and platform, planned around DNS cutover so there is no window where the site is unreachable.
Platform website migration
Website migration between platforms — WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix or custom — where templates, content model and URLs all have to be mapped deliberately.
Domain and URL migration
Website migration to a new domain or URL structure, where the redirect map is the deliverable that protects the rankings already earned.
Staging to production migration
Website migration from a rebuilt staging site to the live domain, with the old site preserved until the new one is verified.
THE MIGRATION
Plan and Test Your WordPress Migration Before Cutover
- 01
Inventory and back up
We record the application, database, DNS, email dependencies, integrations, licences and current hosting before producing the agreed recovery copy.
- 02
Prepare and transfer
The destination runtime, database, SSL and access are configured before files and data are moved into a testable environment.
- 03
Test before cutover
Pages, forms, logins, transactions, redirects and connected services are checked against the agreed critical paths before DNS changes.
- 04
Cut over and reconcile
Final data changes are handled where needed, public traffic is redirected and availability, SSL, DNS and application behaviour are checked after launch.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Website Migration Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Does a website migration also move business email?
Not automatically. Website hosting and email may be separate services even when they use the same domain. We identify existing mail records and scope any mailbox migration separately.
What access is needed for a website migration?
Access normally includes the current website or hosting, the destination host and the active DNS provider. CMS, database, SFTP, CDN or registrar access may also be required depending on the move.
