Website Migration (Standard)

Description

Don’t put off moving hosts! Let us take the headache and hard work out of moving to a new web host. Our skilled technicians have migrated thousands of websites and have seen it all.

This ‘white gloves’ migration service is recommended for E-Commerce sites where downtime and mistakes need to be avoided, migrating off a problematic web host, instances where prior migrations have failed, complex DNS structure, if an addon domain split is required or simply if you’d prefer it be done professionally by someone you’ve talked to.

The basic steps of our website migration process are:

1. Work with you to obtain the required server credentials from your current hosting platform
2. Carefully evaluate your current hosting environment and confirm the suitability of the new hosting package
3. Consider the most appropriate migration strategy: cPanel Account Migration tool (with the assistance of new host) or manual FTP migration / imap sync
4. We will call you once we have looked over your site and provide you with a full outline and plan, then agree on a suitable time to begin.
5. Perform a full backup of the existing site prior to migration
6. Begin Migration of the site at the scheduled date &time
7. Update DNS/Name Servers on completion of the migration
8. Post Migration Tasks: Test site on new server and confirm full functionality, optimise and tweak settings as required, generate new AutoSSL/LetsEncrypt certificate
9. Call you after the migration to confirm the site is working as intended, walk you through updating your email settings if they have changed and confirm it is safe to cancel the old hosting package.
