Domain and hosting transfer

Switch hosting without downtime or data loss.

Planning to migrate your website to a new hosting provider but worried about outages, errors, or lost files? We handle the complete transfer of your website securely and transparently with zero downtime.

Whether you need a one-time service or ongoing support, we tailor our work to your needs.

A technical move, but also a strategic one

Transferring hosting isn’t just about copying files. It’s a delicate process that requires:

• A clear understanding of your current setup (site, database, email, redirects, etc.)
• A properly prepared new hosting environment
• Thorough testing to prevent any issues

Our goal: ensure a smooth, seamless migration, invisible to your users with zero data loss.

What we do for you

1. Initial audit

• Review of your current website (CMS, technologies, server setup, performance)
• Identification of sensitive components (emails, scripts, redirects)

2. Full backup

• Secure download of all files
• Export of the database
• Backup of DNS, SSL, and mail settings if needed

3. New hosting setup

• Creation of a matching environment (PHP version, MySQL database, FTP, SSL certificate, etc.)
• Clean installation, no unnecessary clutter

4. Transfer and testing

• Copy of files and database to the new host
• Testing on a temporary environment to ensure full functionality

5. Final switchover

• Domain configuration update (DNS pointing)
• Active monitoring during DNS propagation

6. Post-transfer check

• Final online verification of the live site
• Adjustments or fixes if needed

What happens next? Two options:

→ One-time transfer
Need only the migration? We take care of it, you stay in control of your new hosting.

→ Transfer + ongoing support
Prefer to delegate everything? We can include your site in our annual support service, which covers:

• Hosting monitoring
• Technical intervention when needed
• Ongoing improvement recommendations

Why work with us?

Because migration can go wrong and lead to:

1. Website downtime if the switchover isn’t properly planned
2. Data loss from missing files or poorly migrated databases
3. Compatibility issues if the new host isn’t properly configured
4. Display errors, broken links, or blocked emails if testing isn’t thorough

Real-world examples

• A small business switching from OVH to a Swiss hosting provider without disrupting operations
• An e-commerce site that cannot afford even a minute of downtime
• A freelancer moving their WordPress site to a more reliable platform
• An association that lost contact with its former developer and wants to regain control of its website
