Slow or unstable hosting
The site is slow or crashes and optimisation no longer helps.
Website migration without losing rankings or data
A move to faster hosting, a new PHP version, another CMS or a new domain. We transfer files, database, mail and SSL, set up redirects and check that search engines see the same pages. A test migration first, then the switch at a convenient time.

When a move is needed
A new CMS or redesign
The platform, structure or design changes.
A domain change
Rebranding or a move to a shorter or different domain.
Merging sites
Several sites are combined into one.
Security
An outdated server or PHP that is no longer supported.
Different infrastructure
A move to the cloud, a VPS or a new control panel.
What happens during the move
Files, database, redirects, DNS and the certificate move in the right order so visitors and search engines notice nothing.
How we migrate
- Audit and inventoryA list of pages, URLs, redirects, mail, DNS records, integrations and verifications.
- Full copyFiles and database are saved before any work starts.
- Test migrationWe bring the site up in its new place and check before switching.
- 301 redirect mapOld URLs lead to new ones so links and rankings are not lost.
- DNS, SSL and mailWe lower the TTL, issue the certificate, move mail records and switch at a convenient time.
- Check and monitoringWe watch 404 errors, indexing, speed and mail. The old environment is kept until confirmed.
What we preserve
We move and verify, not hope for the best.
URLs and redirects
The URL structure or a clear map of transitions.
Meta tags and markup
Titles, descriptions, canonical, hreflang, structured data.
Images and files
Media, documents, uploads.
Database and users
Orders, accounts, settings.
Mail and DNS
MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC and all needed records.
Analytics and verifications
Counters, Search Console, pixels.
Questions and answers
Will the site be down?
We minimise it: a test migration first, then we switch DNS at a convenient time. Promising zero downtime would be dishonest, but it is usually short.
Will my Google rankings stay?
Correct 301 redirects and preserved URLs and meta tags reduce the risk a lot. Nobody can give guarantees on behalf of a search engine.
What about mail?
We move mail records and check SPF, DKIM and DMARC so messages keep arriving.
Can the CMS change during the move?
Yes, but then it is a separate migration of content and structure. We agree the URL and redirect map first.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the size of the site, the platform and the number of integrations. We estimate after the audit.
