Migration
Website migration between hosts, platforms and domains
Migrations go wrong in predictable ways: broken links, lost rankings, unexpected downtime. We've done enough of them to know where the risk is and how to avoid it.
Website Migration means moving your site between hosts, platforms or domains with a full pre-migration checklist, a staged cutover to avoid downtime, and a check afterwards that nothing (email, forms, rankings) quietly broke. WordPress migrations start at ₹4,999, and if you're already on one of our care plans it's a flat ₹1,999. Both prices are published openly. We handle migrations for clients in Hyderabad and across India.
Migrations break internal links, lose rankings through unmapped URLs, cause downtime, and stop email when a DNS move takes the mail records with it. None of this is mysterious, and all of it is avoidable with a checklist and a staged cutover instead of a hopeful weekend copy-and-paste.
What's included
Staged, checked and verified
A staged cutover
The old site stays live until the new one is fully verified, so visitors are never sent to a broken page.
Checked, not assumed
Redirects, email and forms are all verified after the move.
Redirects mapped carefully
URLs are mapped and redirected, so search engines find your pages at their new address.
On a planned schedule
We plan and stage the move instead of rushing it, so nothing gets missed.
How it works
How a migration runs
The order matters more than the speed. This is the sequence that avoids downtime.
-
01
Inventory
Before anything moves, we record what exists: every URL, the DNS and mail records, forms, integrations, certificates and analytics. Most migration disasters come from something nobody wrote down.
-
02
Stage
We build and test the site on the new host while the old one stays live and untouched. You can look at the finished site on the new setup before any switch happens.
-
03
Cut over
We switch DNS on a planned schedule and handle the mail records separately, so email keeps working through the move. Redirects are mapped in advance, not written afterwards.
-
04
Verify
Afterwards we check the things that fail quietly: forms sending, certificates valid, redirects resolving, analytics still recording and search indexing intact.
Fit
Who this is for, and who it isn't
This suits anyone leaving slow or unreliable hosting, bringing a site onto a platform they control, changing domain names, or inheriting a site whose hosting nobody has the login for. It also comes up when a business finally wants to own its site instead of renting it from an agency.
Large or complex migrations, such as big stores mid-trading or sites with heavy custom integrations, are quoted separately instead of squeezed into the standard price, and we'll tell you that upfront. If the site being moved is slow or dated, it's often worth pairing the move with a redesign and optimization pass rather than carefully relocating the same problems.
Before any move, check that you control the domain and the hosting. Our guide on who owns your website shows how.
Cost
What it costs
A standard WordPress migration starts at ₹4,999. If your site is already on one of our care plans, it's a flat ₹1,999 instead. Larger or more complex migrations are quoted separately, with the number agreed before work begins.
Care plans start at ₹2,449 a month, which is worth knowing if you're migrating because nobody has been looking after the site. Everything is listed on the pricing page.
Questions
Common questions
Will my website go offline during a migration?
That's what the staged cutover is designed to prevent. We build and test the new setup while the old site stays live, and switch DNS on a planned schedule. Brief propagation differences can occur, but visitors keep reaching a working site throughout.
Will I lose my Google rankings when I migrate?
Not if URLs are mapped and redirected correctly, which is a core part of the job. Ranking losses in migrations almost always trace back to URLs that changed without a redirect.
What happens to my email during a domain move?
We handle the mail records deliberately and separately from the website records, because moving DNS carelessly is the classic way businesses lose email for a day. We record what exists before touching anything.
Which platforms can you migrate between?
Most common host-to-host and platform-to-platform moves. Tell us your situation and we'll confirm.
Can you move a site I don't have the logins for?
Often, yes. It depends on what access can be recovered through the domain registrar or the host. Tell us the situation and we'll say honestly whether it's workable before you commit.
