Moving your site? Leave the whole process to us!

Migrating a website to a new server is complicated, but we’ve done it a million times.
We’ll transfer your site to a new server seamlessly, without disrupting your business.

Comprehensive Migration

We move it all. Everything associated with your website is perfectly copied, re-installed, and re-configured on your new server so there is no perceivable change to your front-end.

Software

Databases

Files & Code

Content

Domain Migration (optional)

E-commerce Orders

Seamless Transition

Keep your site up and running throughout the entire process. When we’re ready to flip the switch and direct visitors to your new server, we do so in a way that minimizes downtime while your DNS propagates. Most visitors will never notice a change.

How It Works

1. We review your software to identify any security vulnerabilities and update your software if possible.

2. We make a 100% complete copy of your existing website and install it on your new server.

3. You review the website copy on your new server to ensure everything is exactly as it should be.

4. Once approved, during low-traffic hours we update your domain so it points to your new server.

Migration Plans for Any Timeline

Moving a site always takes some time, no way around it.
But if you’re in a rush, just let us know and we’ll make things happen.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of websites can you support?

Any website! No matter your software or use case, we have a hosting server for you. If you already have a DreamHost server set up we will happily move your website to it whenever you're ready. If you still need a server, get in touch and we'll help identify and set up the perfect environment to power your specific website and traffic.

Will my website experience any downtime during the migration?

Even if we could magically move all your files to a new server instantaneously, there are always some inevitable downtime that occurs when a domain name settings get updated. However, we've developed a reliable, efficient process that minimizes this disruption to be negligible. We also work with you directly to ensure we flip the switch during periods of low traffic (e.g., midnight) to ensure any temporary gaps in connectivity cause as little disruption as possible.

Will I be able to review the migrated website before the final transfer is made?

Yes, absolutely. We create a copy of your website and set it up on your new DreamHost server. Before the final step, we send you a unique link that lets you review everything about your website to ensure it looks and functions exactly as it should within your new hosting environment. Only after you give the green light do we coordinate and execute the final step of pointing your domain name to your new site.

What if I have dynamic data like e-commerce orders?

No worries! We migrate your databases as part of the formal process. We coordinate with you on timing to bring over as up-to-date of content as possible before updating your DNS settings. Once the transfer is complete, we review the old website to identify any data that came through during the transition and separately bring it over to ensure your website contains the latest dynamic data by the end of the migration process.
