Migration Planning

Move a website with every important dependency accounted for.

Plan the site, data, email, DNS, software, access, testing, cutover, and recovery path before changing the live environment.

Migration is scoped after reviewing the source, destination, access, dependencies, timing, and recovery needs.
Discovery

Map what must keep working.

A reliable move accounts for the systems around the website, not only the public files.

Site and application

Inventory files, databases, CMS versions, extensions, scheduled tasks, forms, stores, APIs, and required server software.

Email and DNS

Record mailboxes, forwarding, MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, subdomains, external services, and nameserver ownership.

Cutover and recovery

Choose a change window, lower DNS TTL where possible, define testing, preserve the old service, and document rollback.

Safer Sequence

Copy, test, switch, verify.

1

Collect access

Confirm current hosting, DNS, domain, application, database, and mailbox access before scheduling work.

2

Test the destination

Verify pages, forms, data, logins, jobs, email, SSL, and redirects before changing public DNS.

3

Monitor after cutover

Check DNS propagation, certificates, mail flow, errors, performance, analytics, and backups while the old service remains recoverable.
