Migration Workflow

How the Website Migration Process Works

The process is built around understanding dependencies first, preparing a recoverable destination, and only then switching live traffic.

01

Discover & Scope

Review the current site, destination, access, platform, size and launch constraints.

02

Backup & Audit

Create the agreed backup point and identify databases, media, redirects and dependencies.

03

Transfer & Stage

Move site assets and data into the destination or staging environment for validation.

04

Configure & Test

Check URLs, forms, SSL, DNS plan, key integrations and functionality before launch.

05

Cut Over

Switch the live destination using the agreed launch window and rollback considerations.

06

Validate & Handover

Run post-launch checks and share any agreed migration notes or next actions.

Migration Scenarios

Website Moves That Need Different Cutover Plans

Migration risk changes depending on what is moving and what must stay unchanged. The scope should match the actual path rather than force every website into one transfer method.

Host-to-Host Transfer

Move the same website to a new hosting environment while preserving content, database structure and core behavior.

Hosting move

Domain Change

Move to a new domain with deliberate URL, redirect, DNS, SSL and crawlability checks around the cutover.

Domain migration

CMS or Platform Change

Move content and functionality into a different platform where templates, URLs, data models or integrations may need rebuilding.

Custom scope

Ecommerce Migration

Plan around products, customer journeys, checkout, orders, integrations and a cutover window that reduces transaction risk.

Business-critical

Staging to Production

Promote a tested website build into the live environment while checking configuration, URLs, forms and tracking after launch.

Launch migration

Large or Data-Heavy Site

Structure the migration around larger databases, media libraries, frequent content changes or a site that cannot tolerate a simple one-pass copy.

Controlled cutover
Migration Protection

Protect the Site Before You Move It

A reliable migration is less about copying files and more about controlling what could break during the change.

  • 1
    Preserve a recovery point.
    Keep an agreed backup or source-state recovery path before cutover.
  • 2
    Test the destination first.
    Validate the new environment before live visitors are sent to it.
  • 3
    Check what depends on the old setup.
    Review URLs, DNS, certificates, forms and critical integrations.

Backup & Data Integrity

Confirm the site files and database are included in the migration plan and verify that the transferred site can load the expected content.

URLs & Redirects

Check important URL paths and redirect requirements so domain or structure changes do not create avoidable broken journeys.

DNS & SSL

Confirm the destination can serve the site securely and that required DNS changes are planned for the launch window.

Functional QA

Review core pages, navigation, forms, checkout or other critical workflows that matter for the specific website.

Before & After Service

From Migration Uncertainty to a Validated New Environment

The service is designed to turn a high-risk website move into a documented sequence of preparation, transfer, cutover and checks.

Before Migration

The website may depend on an existing host, domain, database, certificate and configuration that cannot simply be switched without preparation.

  • !
    Current site dependencies are not yet fully mapped.
  • !
    Destination compatibility and access may still need confirmation.
  • !
    Redirect, DNS and SSL changes may affect launch behavior.
  • !
    Rollback steps and post-launch checks may not be defined.

After Migration

The destination has been transferred and checked against the agreed scope, with launch-related items reviewed and any known follow-up actions identified.

  • Site files and data are present in the destination scope.
  • Critical pages and workflows have been checked after cutover.
  • DNS, SSL and redirect requirements have been reviewed where applicable.
  • Handover notes or follow-up actions are clear for the agreed project.

Prepare for Migration

What We Need to Scope the Move Correctly

Good access and a clear description of the current and destination setup reduce delays and help identify migration risks before work begins.

Useful project inputs

Share only the information relevant to the scope. Sensitive credentials should be provided through the agreed secure workflow after the project is confirmed.

  • Current website URL and approximate site size
  • Current platform or CMS and hosting environment
  • Destination host, domain or platform information
  • Important forms, checkout paths, integrations or scheduled jobs
  • Any fixed launch window or business blackout period

Questions that change the scope

A simple hosting transfer is different from a platform rebuild. These details help determine whether a fixed plan or custom engagement is appropriate.

  • Are URLs or the domain changing?
  • Does the site take orders, memberships or user submissions?
  • Are there custom plugins, APIs, webhooks or external services?
  • Will content or transactions keep changing during migration?
  • Does the current site need to remain available as a rollback option?
Website Migration FAQ

Questions to Answer Before You Move a Website

Review the buying, timing and technical questions that commonly affect a website migration scope.

What does your Website Migration service include?

The scope can include a full backup, source and destination checks, website files and database transfer, staging or temporary testing, DNS and SSL configuration, redirect validation, form and functionality checks, cutover support and a post-migration handover. The exact inclusions depend on the selected plan and website complexity.

Can you move my website to a new host or domain?

Yes. A migration can be scoped for host-to-host transfers, domain changes, staging-to-production moves and other destination changes. We first review the current site and destination environment so the cutover plan fits the actual setup.

Will my website be offline during migration?

The migration is planned to minimize disruption by preparing and testing the destination before the final cutover. Actual downtime, if any, depends on the hosting environment, DNS changes, site architecture and whether content or transactions continue changing during the move.

Will a website migration affect my SEO?

A migration can affect search visibility if URLs, redirects, crawlability, metadata or tracking are changed incorrectly. The migration process can include redirect and technical checks designed to reduce avoidable migration risk, but search rankings cannot be guaranteed.

Can you migrate an ecommerce or business website?

Yes, ecommerce and business websites can be reviewed for migration. Stores, memberships, custom integrations, large databases, frequent transactions or complex server dependencies may require a larger custom scope and a more controlled cutover window.

What access do you need before starting?

Typical inputs include the current website URL, administrator or CMS access where applicable, current hosting access, destination hosting details and DNS or domain access when the cutover requires it. Only the access relevant to the agreed migration should be provided, preferably through secure temporary credentials.

How much does Website Migration cost?

Website Migration plans start at $25 USD for a small WordPress transfer. A managed website migration is listed at $49 USD and a business or ecommerce migration at $99 USD. Larger platform changes, multisite environments and integration-heavy migrations are quoted after a scope review.

How long does Website Migration take?

The standard delivery window is 5–7 working days. Timing can change when a site is large, the destination environment is not ready, a platform rebuild is required, access is delayed or the migration needs a tightly controlled launch window.

Do you handle DNS, SSL, redirects and email settings?

DNS, SSL and redirect checks can be included when they are part of the migration scope. Email services are handled carefully because mail may be hosted separately from the website; any mailbox migration or major email reconfiguration should be confirmed explicitly in the project scope.

Can the migration scope be customized?

Yes. If the published plans do not match your site size, CMS, ecommerce setup, integrations, hosting architecture or launch requirements, submit the enquiry form and Rudrriv can review a custom scope and pricing.
