Website migration

Website migration to new hosting

Website migration should start with a backup and a test in the new environment. DNS should be switched after PHP, database, paths, SSL and forms are checked.

What needs to move?

Usually the files, databases, application configuration, cron jobs, redirects, SSL certificate and form e-mail settings need to be migrated.

Testing before DNS change

Before changing records, the site should be tested on the new hosting account, with a hosts-file preview or a temporary test address.

After the switch

After DNS change, check the site from several networks, forms, redirects, mixed content, SSL certificate and application error logs.
