Migration You Can Actually Trust

Every migration follows a careful process built to protect your data, your uptime, and your business.

Zero Downtime Planning

Every migration is planned around your live site staying online. We stage the transfer before any DNS change is made.

Full Website + Database Transfer

All files, databases, and configurations move together. Nothing gets left behind, and data integrity is verified at every step.

Email Migration Assistance

Your email accounts, forwarders, autoresponders, and mailboxes transfer intact - your team never loses access.

Expert DNS Cutover

We coordinate the DNS switch precisely, ensuring the shortest possible propagation window and immediate validation after.

Secure Encrypted Transfer

All data moves over encrypted, authenticated channels. Your credentials and content are handled with strict security protocols.

Post-Migration Validation

Before we close the ticket, we verify every page loads, databases connect, emails deliver, and SSL certificates are active.

How We Move Your Website

A proven four-step process - your site transfers safely and lands exactly as it should.

Assessment

We review your current hosting environment, identify your stack, and create a step-by-step migration plan tailored to your setup.

Backup & Transfer

Full backups are taken first. Files, databases, and email accounts are then securely transferred over encrypted connections to your new server.

Testing & Validation

Every page is tested at the new host before DNS changes. We verify databases, email delivery, SSL, and functionality end-to-end.

DNS Switch & Go Live

DNS is updated at the optimal moment. We monitor propagation, confirm your site resolves correctly, and stay on-call until everything is stable.

Your Site Never Goes Offline

We don't touch your DNS until the new environment is fully operational and verified. Your visitors keep loading your old site until the instant we switch.

Staged Transfer

Files, databases, and configuration are fully copied to the new server before any live change occurs.

Full Validation

We test every critical function - page load, database, email, SSL, and redirects - on the new server first.

Encrypted Channels

All data moves over secure, authenticated connections. Credentials are never sent via unsecured methods.

Rollback Ready

If anything is unexpected post-cutover, we can revert DNS immediately. Your original hosting stays intact.

Optimal DNS Timing

We switch DNS during your lowest-traffic window to minimise any edge-case propagation impact.

Post-Go-Live Watch

We monitor your site for 24 hours after go-live, standing by to address any issues immediately.

Any Platform.
We've Handled It.

From WordPress on shared hosting to custom Node.js apps on bare-metal servers - our team has migration experience across every major web platform and control panel.

WEBSITE MIGRATION FAQ

Got questions? We've got answers!

Everything you need to know before starting your migration.

Is website migration really free?

Yes. New UnderHost customers on any hosting plan (Shared, Cloud VPS, or Dedicated) receive one free cPanel-to-cPanel migration including files, databases, and email accounts. No hidden fees.

How long does migration take?

Most standard migrations complete within 24–48 hours of receiving access credentials. Complex or large-scale migrations may take longer - we'll give you a clear timeline before starting.

Will my website go down during migration?

We plan every migration to keep your site live throughout. The new environment is fully built and tested before any DNS change is made. Most customers experience zero observable downtime.

What does the Professional Migration service include?

It covers complex setups: custom platforms, server-to-server transfers, multi-site, advanced databases, Plesk or DirectAdmin migrations, emergency work, and any situation where a standard cPanel transfer isn't possible.

What control panels does your migration service support?

We support cPanel, DirectAdmin, Plesk, and custom or panelless environments. For a comparison of the control panels available on UnderHost, visit our Control Panels page.

Can you migrate my email accounts too?

Yes. Email accounts, forwarders, autoresponders, and mailbox content are all migrated. We also handle DNS MX record updates to ensure uninterrupted email delivery throughout the cutover.

What if something goes wrong after migration?

Your original hosting environment stays intact and unchanged until you confirm everything is working. If needed, DNS can be reverted immediately. We stay on-call for 24 hours post-go-live to address any issues.

Can you migrate multiple websites at once?

Yes. Multi-site migrations are handled under our Professional Migration service. Contact our team for bulk pricing and scheduling - we'll assess your setup and provide a clear plan and timeline.

Have a question about your specific migration?

Our migration team is available 24/7 to assess your setup and provide a clear plan before we begin.
