Your whole site moved across, switched over out of hours, with nothing lost. Migrations go wrong in predictable ways: a missed database table, a botched DNS change, email routing left behind. Any one of them means downtime.

Migration Service
6 things included, from our Hosting & Infrastructure work
You get the full site and database migrated, a staging copy tested before anything switches, a DNS cutover scheduled out of hours, your old host kept live until the new one is proven, and your email routing preserved. Keeping the old host running is the detail that matters most.
It means there is always somewhere to go back to, which is what turns a risky evening into a controlled one.
This is the job in this group with the most real risk attached, and it is priced accordingly rather than cheaply. A bad migration means a client's site is down and it is visibly our fault.
It is also free when you take Hosting and Maintenance together, which is the honest answer for most people moving to us anyway.
Who this is for
You are leaving a host that is slow, unresponsive or about to put its prices up, or you are consolidating several sites in one place. Or you have inherited a site sitting somewhere nobody has access to. You need it moved without a gap in service and without losing anything, and you would rather it was done out of hours than during your working day.
When something else fits better
If your site is old enough that you were considering replacing it anyway, moving it first is money spent twice and a rebuild, the Basic Website to the Professional Website, or the Website Refresh may serve you better. We will look and tell you honestly which one you are, because moving a site that is about to be thrown away helps nobody.
Step by step.
We look at your current site, host and email routing before anything moves. We need access to your current host, and we tell you how straightforward it will be.
The whole site and its database are copied across while your old host stays live.
The copy is tested on a staging site before anything switches, so problems show up there first.
The switch happens out of hours with email routing handled deliberately, and the old host stays live as a fallback.
We run post-move checks on the new host and confirm with you once it is proven.
