Moving from an old domain name.
This happens during rebranding, company name changes, or geographic expansion. Domains may also change for legal reasons or when the lease period expires.
Website migration involves moving to a different environment or changing key operational parameters of a resource for optimization purposes. Typically, migration concerns changing the domain or hosting, or choosing an alternative content management system (CMS). It includes working with files, databases, server settings, caching, and search engine indexing.
Our migration services are additional and allow you to transfer the site so that it continues to operate stably—without critical traffic loss, page failures, or reduced functionality.
The most common migration scenarios include:
A standard resource migration in which we transfer files and databases. To maintain website stability, our experts check:
Properly moving a website to a secure protocol requires:
We restore the website to a working state after a crash, failure, or incorrect changes. A clean and secure restore point is used to minimize risks. After the process is completed, we check the site’s operation:
Moving a website to another platform or even a different theme within a CMS requires changes to logic and structure. Therefore, we perform the following tasks:
Structural changes always involve risks, since indexing errors can reduce a site’s ranking in search engines. To prevent this, we handle the migration carefully:
Website migration requires precision and attention to detail. If done independently without following basic rules, you may encounter the following issues:
Our goal is to migrate hosting, domain, or CMS so that you can continue working with minimal time and traffic losses. To achieve this, the Sitesavers team uses the following methods:
The cost of website migration services is determined individually and depends on the type of migration, the scope of work, and the technical complexity of the project. The final price is formed after a preliminary analysis of the website and the migration requirements.
Not necessarily. Migration is often performed gradually, with the new version being tested in a controlled environment (staging). A full shutdown is required only in specific scenarios, for example when maintaining the integrity of order data is critical.
Even during the simplest migration, such as moving a site to WordPress, a rollback plan should be in place. It is necessary to revert to the previous stable version and fix bugs in the test environment.
In most cases — yes. It depends on the scale of changes and the work plan. With a properly executed migration, changes will either be minimal or temporary.
If required — yes. If the structure changes, 301 redirects must be configured and technical files (sitemap, canonical tags, internal links) must be updated.
Yes, but there is usually a short delay for DNS updates and caching. Be sure to check what time the site will be down so you can plan accordingly.
Only in certain cases. Without admin access, it is harder to verify CMS settings, plugins, and integrations, so a full migration usually requires complete access.
