Website migrations
Move WordPress and business websites between hosting environments.
- Site files and databases
- DNS cutover
- Validation and rollback planning
Website Migrations
Move the workload without treating migration as an afterthought.
Gotekky plans moves between hosting providers, servers, control panels and platforms around dependencies, downtime tolerance and a clear validation path.
Migration scope
Different workloads need different cutover plans
The migration path is designed around what moves, what depends on it and how safely the change can be reversed.
Email migrations
Move mailboxes and domain authentication between providers.
- Mailbox migration
- MX and DNS changes
- SPF, DKIM and DMARC coordination
Server and platform migrations
Move workloads between VPS, dedicated and control panel environments.
- VPS to VPS moves
- cPanel and Webuzo migrations
- Service and dependency inventory
Complex migrations
Plan multi service and unusual environment moves.
- Multi server workloads
- Database and storage dependencies
- Staged cutovers and recovery planning
Cutover method
A migration is a controlled production change
The work before cutover is what makes the cutover boring in the best possible way.
The migration runway
Each stage reduces uncertainty before traffic, users or data are moved to the destination.
01InventoryFiles, databases, DNS, mail, certificates, jobs and integrations.
02PrepareDestination environment, access, backups and compatibility.
03RehearseCopy data, test the workload and identify blockers before the live move.
04Cut overFreeze what must be frozen, synchronize final data and change traffic.
05ValidateTest application paths, mail flow, DNS, jobs, SSL and monitoring.
06Retire safelyKeep the old environment only as long as the rollback plan requires it.

Have a launch date, renewal date or provider deadline?
Send us the source environment, destination, data size and timing constraints. We can tell you what needs to be assessed before a safe cutover can be scheduled.
Risk reduction
The migration plan should answer the questions that usually cause outages
A successful copy is not enough. The destination must be usable, observable and reversible at the right moment.
What changes?
Identify every service that changes during the move.
- DNS and TTL considerations
- Certificates and hostnames
- Scheduled jobs and external integrations
What can be tested early?
Validate as much as possible before production traffic moves.
- Application compatibility
- Database behavior
- Mail and API connectivity
What is the rollback point?
Define what can be reversed and when the old environment stops being authoritative.
- Final synchronization point
- Rollback conditions
- Retirement timing
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is migration included with hosting?
Professional migration work is scoped according to complexity and risk. Hosting itself does not imply unlimited migration labour.
Can you migrate email and websites together?
Yes. Coordinating DNS, web and email changes in one migration plan can reduce surprises during cutover.
Do you provide rollback planning?
For migrations where rollback matters, the plan defines what can be reversed and the point at which the old environment can safely be retired.
Can a migration be performed with no downtime?
Some workloads can be moved with very little visible interruption, while others require a maintenance window. The answer depends on data synchronization, application behavior and the services being changed.
