Migration
We move your site. You approve it before it goes live.
Our engineers handle the whole move: the audit, the copy, the testing and the switch. Nothing changes for your visitors until you've seen the new version working.
Visitors see your current site until step 04.
The process
Five steps, one team
- 01
Discovery call
We learn your current host, plugins, custom code, traffic and anything that can't go down. With several sites, we map the full scope.
- 02
Technical audit
Before we touch anything, we review your environment for compatibility issues, outdated plugins, security problems and slow spots. You get a written summary and our plan for each item. Bringing an old site current? We can do that before or during the move.
- 03
Staging copy
We build a complete working copy on our servers: files, database and configuration. You click through it and test it until you're satisfied.
- 04
Go-live
We switch DNS at a time that suits your business, set up SSL and verify the site after the change.
- 05
First 30 days
We watch performance and errors closely after the move and adjust the configuration until everything is right.
Included
What the move covers
Full site transfer
Files, database, media uploads and configuration all move.
DNS switch
We handle the DNS change and watch it until it has taken effect.
SSL certificates
New certificates set up and checked before go-live.
Performance baseline
We measure page speed before and after so you can see the difference.
Security scan
We scan the site during the move and fix what we find.
Email stays separate
We don't host mailboxes. If your email runs through your current host, move it to an outside provider before the switch. Our DNS changes leave your email records alone.
Cost
Setup covers the migration
On monthly plans, setup is $299 for the first site and $149 for each additional site. On annual plans, setup is free and you get 2 months free.
Larger moves are quoted after the discovery call. That includes multisite networks, large online stores and sites with unusual server requirements.
Moving several sites?
Each site gets its own audit and staging copy. We can move them one at a time over several days or as a coordinated batch, whichever disrupts your business less. Extra sites on any plan are 20% off, and Partner plans start at 5 sites.
