01
Full backup first
A copy of the files and the database before anything is touched.
Website migration to new hosting
Slow site? Hosting support that never answers? We move the whole thing to our servers — and your visitors never see it happen.
The move
How a migration runs without downtime
02
New hosting prepared
The copy uploaded to our servers and checked before the switch.
03
Domain pointed over
The domain settings changed at a quiet time and watched.
04
SSL and a full check
The certificate installed, then every page, link and mailbox tested.
Migration is not copying files. Pages, links, images and email all have to be checked after the switch, a new certificate installed, and the live traffic confirmed to be arriving at the new copy. That is the part we do carefully, step by step.
- Nothing lostFiles, pages and images move in full.
- Email tooYour business mailboxes set up on the domain after the move.
- A new SSL certificateThe site opens on https with no warning.
- Checked afterwardsWe walk the pages and links one by one.
When it is time to change hosting
- Pages are slow even though the site itself is light.
- The site goes down sometimes and nobody answers quickly.
- You do not know who controls your hosting or how to log in.
- The provider will not allow an SSL certificate, or charges extra for one.
- Your site, email and domain are scattered across three different places.
What happens to the site during the move
It stays live on the old hosting until the new copy is uploaded and checked on our side. Then we point the domain across. That change takes time to spread across the internet, so we choose a quiet window and watch until everything has settled.
Afterwards we can continue with speed work and monthly maintenance.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will my site go offline during the migration?
Not the way we do it. A full copy is uploaded and checked on our servers first, and only then is the domain switched. Visitors keep seeing the site throughout.
We watch it until everything has settled. We agree on every detail before we start, so you know what is inside the work and what is outside it.
Do you move the email as well?
Yes. Email is part of the migration: we set up the mailboxes on the domain after the switch so your messages do not stop arriving.
See business email. The hosting is on our own servers, and we keep an eye on the renewal and on the SSL certificate so the site never goes down or shows as not secure.
Do you need my old hosting passwords?
We need access to the hosting control panel and the domain to take the backup and change the settings. If you have lost them, we help you recover access.
Your data is handled confidentially — see our privacy policy. After the site is live we stay with you, so any question or edit reaches the same team that built it.
How long does a migration take?
The move itself is usually quick; the domain change takes additional time to spread across the internet, and that varies. We follow it until it is done.
We give you an expected window before starting. The timing depends on the number of pages and on how ready your texts and photos are, and we give you a clear date before we start.
What happens to my Google ranking?
It stays as it is, provided the addresses do not change and the content moves in full. If the new hosting is faster, that helps your position over time.
See indexing and SEO. Search work keeps going: we set the page titles and descriptions, keep the site fast and follow the results afterwards.
Do you take a backup before moving?
Always, as the first step: files and database, kept until the site is settled on the new hosting.
Regular backups then continue under website management. We keep backups and update the site, and if anything breaks we put the last clean version back.
What does a migration cost?
It depends on the size of the site, the number of mailboxes and the state of the old hosting. We look first and give you a clear number before starting.
Call 0799400949. We put the price in writing before we start, so nothing extra shows up later.
Does the SSL certificate move with the site?
We issue and install a new certificate on our hosting and make sure every page opens on https without the “not secure” warning.
See SSL certificates. The hosting is on our own servers, and we keep an eye on the renewal and on the SSL certificate so the site never goes down or shows as not secure.
