Website migration service
Move the website, database, DNS and email in a controlled sequence
A successful migration is more than copying files. UKC can assess a move into compatible hosting and provide a quotation based on the site, access available and work required. Scope is agreed before migration begins.
What a migration may include
Website files
Application files, uploads and configuration compatible with the destination platform.
Databases
Exports, imports and connection updates for supported database applications.
DNS and SSL
Planned DNS changes and certificate setup after the destination is ready.
Mailbox migration is a separate workstream and depends on source access, size and protocol support.
Migration readiness checklist
| Area | Information needed | Main risk |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | CMS, version, plugins and server requirements | Unsupported software or dependencies |
| Access | Control panel, SFTP or FTP, database and DNS access | Incomplete copy or delayed switch |
| Data | File size, database size and changing content | Missing recent orders, forms or uploads |
| Mailbox list, size, protocol and retention needs | Split delivery or missing history | |
| Launch | Preferred window, test method and rollback point | Unplanned downtime |
How the process works
Describe the source, website and email requirements.
Confirm compatibility, responsibilities, cost and timing.
Move supported data and check before DNS changes.
Switch carefully, verify and retain rollback options.
Migration questions
Will there be no downtime?
No responsible migration can promise zero interruption in every case. Careful preparation, testing and DNS planning can reduce disruption.
Is every website compatible?
No. Compatibility depends on software, versions, licensing and server requirements. Assessment comes before commitment.
How much does migration cost?
It depends on the number of sites, databases, mailboxes, size, access and complexity. UKC confirms the scope and quotation before chargeable work.
Planning a move?
Choose the destination hosting, then let us assess the migration
Provide the platform, approximate size, access available and whether email must move.
