Website Migration (Hosting, Platform, Domain)

Website migrations across hosting, platforms, and domains without downtime.

Overview

What we deliver

We plan and execute website migrations across hosts, platforms, and domains while protecting traffic, rankings, and email continuity.

We move websites between hosts, platforms, and domains with a focus on uptime, search rankings, and clean cutovers. Our migrations cover shared hosting to cloud, WordPress to headless, platform replatforms, and domain changes after rebrands or acquisitions. Before any move, we audit the current site, inventory assets, map URLs, and document email, DNS, and integration touchpoints. We then build a staging copy on the destination, run side by side tests, and prepare redirect maps so SEO equity carries over. The cutover happens during an agreed window with rollback ready if anything goes wrong. After the move, we monitor logs, search console, and analytics to catch issues early and resolve them quickly. We work with marketing and engineering stakeholders so everyone knows the plan, the risks, and the timeline. Most migrations finish within a defined window with no surprise downtime.

Client stories

What clients say

"

We had been prototyping an AI quoting agent for nine months and could not get it past demo quality. They came in, scoped a real eval set, swapped our retrieval layer, and added guardrails for the edge cases that kept burning us. Went live in seven weeks. It now handles 41 percent of inbound quote requests without a human touching them.

Our old site was a Frankenstein of three previous agencies. We gave them a hard launch date tied to a trade show and they actually hit it. 47 templates, full product catalog migration, no broken redirects on go-live day. Our previous vendor missed the same deadline twice. This time my phone stayed quiet on launch morning.
