Website & Email Migration Support

Website and Email Migration Support

Moving from another host can feel risky. We help migrate websites, email, DNS, and SSL with a practical plan designed to reduce disruption and avoid common mistakes.

What is a website migration?

A website migration is the process of moving your website files, database, email accounts, DNS records, and SSL certificate from one hosting provider to another. Done incorrectly, a migration can take your website offline, break your email, or cause DNS propagation delays that last days. Done correctly, the transition is smooth and your users notice nothing. 0724 Hosting assists with the planning and execution of migrations to make sure the important steps are done in the right order.

Common reasons to move hosts

When it's time to leave your current host

  • Frequent downtime or slow load times
  • Poor or unresponsive technical support
  • Renewal prices that have crept up significantly
  • Your host doesn't support the PHP version or software you need
  • Email issues that your current host can't or won't resolve
  • Your host is based overseas and support is slow
  • Consolidating multiple client sites onto one platform
  • Moving away from cPanel following price increases
What we help with

Migration support that covers the full picture

Most migrations go wrong because people change DNS before files are ready, or they forget to migrate email, or SSL breaks after the move. We work through a practical migration plan to avoid these issues.

πŸ“

Website Files

WordPress, Laravel, static HTML, and custom PHP site transfers.

πŸ—„οΈ

Database Migration

MySQL database export, transfer, and reconfiguration at the new host.

πŸ“§

Email Migration

Moving mailboxes, contacts, and folders so email works before DNS changes.

🌐

DNS Transition

Nameserver and DNS record changes in the correct order to minimise downtime.

πŸ”’

SSL Setup

Free SSL issued and verified at the new host before go-live.

βœ…

Post-Move Checks

Website loads, email sends and receives, DNS resolves correctly, SSL is active.

How it works

The migration process

We approach every migration with a practical plan, not a rushed file copy. The steps below are typical β€” we adapt to your specific setup.

01

Review

We look at what you have: your website platform, email setup, domain registrar, current host, and any known issues. No assumptions.

02

Prepare

Files, databases, and email accounts are transferred to 0724 Hosting. We test the site on the new server using a temporary URL before any DNS changes.

03

Switch

SSL is set up. DNS records are updated in the correct order β€” MX first if email is involved, then A records. We monitor propagation.

04

Confirm

We check that your website loads, email sends and receives, SSL is active, and DNS has propagated fully before closing the migration.

FAQ

Migration questions

A well-planned migration minimises downtime significantly. We transfer files and test on the new server before changing any DNS records. The DNS switchover itself may cause brief inconsistencies during propagation (typically minutes to a few hours), but visitors rarely notice an outage if the migration is sequenced correctly.
Email is the part most often broken during a bad migration. We set up email at the new host and test it first. We only change MX records after email is working at the new location. We also help migrate your existing email folders if needed.
Yes. We regularly migrate sites from cPanel-based hosts to DirectAdmin. WordPress, Laravel, and PHP sites all transfer cleanly. Databases are exported and reimported, and we reconfigure wp-config.php or equivalent files as part of the process.
Migration assistance is quote-based and depends on the complexity of your setup. Simple WordPress migrations are straightforward. Large sites with many email accounts, complex DNS setups, or multiple databases take more time. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and get a quote.
