Website Migration

Website Migration.

Free with every managed plan. We handle the whole migration, from files and databases to DNS, SSL and mail records, so launch day is uneventful.

The challenge

DIY migrations almost always go wrong in subtle ways: DNS propagation timing, SSL gaps, mail records breaking, search-engine cache, asset URLs hard-coded somewhere.

How Hosterr helps

We do the migration ourselves. The site goes to a staging copy first and gets tested, and DNS only moves when we're sure. It's included with hosting.

Why this matters

Your site stays up, your email keeps working, and nobody spends the following week reporting odd problems.

What we focus on

What this service covers.

01

Stage on a copy

Full migration to a hidden staging URL first. Site, database, files, plugins. Tested before anyone sees it.

02

Full QA pass

Pages, forms, checkout, integrations, mail, search-engine signals. We click through it.

03

DNS cutover when ready

Low-TTL prep, scheduled cutover, monitoring during the window. You don't lose visitors.

04

SSL & mail records

New cert provisioned ahead of time. MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC re-checked so mail doesn't bounce.

05

Post-launch monitoring

First 48 hours we're actively watching. Anything weird, we catch it.

06

Free for every site

Yes, every site you bring over. Doesn't matter if it's 1 site or 50. No setup fees.

Common scenarios

When businesses usually come to us.

  • 1
    Leaving a generic host where support has gone downhill.
  • 2
    Consolidating multiple hosts and providers into one accountable provider.
  • 3
    Inheriting a site from a previous developer or agency with no documentation.
  • 4
    Last DIY migration broke something and you don't want to do that again.
Why Hosterr

How we handle it.

  • Staged and tested before anything switches, with the cutover scheduled in advance.
  • Free with hosting. No "migration package" upsell.
  • DNS, SSL, mail records all handled. Not "you handle DNS, we handle files."
  • Post-launch monitoring through the first 48 hours.
Founder note

What a good migration looks like

If a migration goes well, nobody notices it happened. Email keeps arriving, the site stays up, and your customers never see a maintenance page. That's what I aim for on every move, and the migration is included when you switch to Hosterr.
