Website and server migration

Who it’s for

Businesses that need to move something and worry about what might break on the way. It’s usually one of four things: changing host because the current one is slow or poor value; changing domain after a rebrand; switching platform, say from a site builder to a content management system, or from one shop system to another; or leaving an agency that keeps everything in its own accounts.

A migration is a one-off project. Once it’s done, the site can be hosted by your current provider, by us or by anyone else.

What we do

Before anything moves, we take stock. We pull the list of URLs from your sitemap, Google Search Console and analytics. We note the scheduled jobs on the server, every system that connects to the site and every record on the domain. That inventory drives the whole plan.

Next comes a full backup of files and database. Only then does work start. We rebuild the site in its new home, carry over certificates and configuration, and bring it up on a temporary address first.

If page URLs or the domain change, we write a 301 redirect map. Each old address goes to its closest equivalent, not wholesale to the homepage. We also rebuild your DNS, including email records, so mailboxes with your provider keep working throughout.

Before the switchover we test whatever earns you money: forms, basket and checkout, payment confirmations, booking widgets and CRM connections.

How we work

  1. A fixed-price quote for the whole migration within 24 hours.
  2. Inventory and migration plan, with a list of risks for you to approve.
  3. Backup, new environment and testing on a temporary address.
  4. Switchover in an agreed window. The day before, we lower DNS TTLs so the change spreads faster.
  5. Search Console updates and 404 monitoring. For 30 days after launch we fix anything that comes up, free of charge.

A migration typically takes 3–10 working days. Allow longer for a shop changing platform, a very large catalogue, or when access has to be recovered first.

What we need from you

  • Access to your registrar and current hosting, or contact details for your previous developer.
  • Access to Google Search Console and analytics, if you use them.
  • A list of integrations: payments, couriers, accounting, booking software.
  • Your own licences for any paid plugins and themes.
  • A decision on when we may switch over.

Technology and integrations

We move sites built on content management systems, shops on platforms such as WooCommerce or Shopify, static sites and custom web applications. When the platform changes, we export products, customers and content via API or CSV. Practically anything with an API can be reconnected after the move, e.g. Stripe, PayPal, Royal Mail or DPD shipping, or Xero.

What we don’t do

  • We don’t start without a full, verified backup.
  • We don’t dump every old URL onto the homepage.
  • We don’t move mailboxes between email providers. We look after the DNS so your email keeps flowing.
  • We don’t migrate pirated copies of paid plugins.
  • We don’t pretend rankings never wobble after a move. We make sure the migration itself doesn’t damage them.

01Will my site go offline during the move?

Usually not. We build the new version alongside the old one and switch the domain once everything works. For shops we briefly freeze admin changes so no order is left behind on the old server.

02Our previous agency won't hand over access. What can we do?

First we find out who the domain is registered to and whose name the hosting account is in. If your company is the registrant, we'll walk you through the registrar's transfer process. If it turns into a legal dispute, we'll say so plainly: we're not solicitors.

03Will our email stop working when the server changes?

It shouldn't. Before the switch we record every email-related DNS entry and carry it over unchanged. The mailboxes themselves stay with your email provider.

04We're changing our domain name. What happens to links already out there?

Every old address is redirected to its matching new page, and we file a change of address in Search Console. Keep the old domain registered for a good while so the redirects keep working.
