A website migration starts with an overview of the website, domain, databases and email. Discuss what needs moving, prepare recovery options and plan the switch. Cancel existing hosting only after checking the new environment and important functions.
Request migration advice →Record your domain, current provider and website software. List linked mailboxes, databases, forms and other services. Not every component necessarily moves: the domain or email may stay elsewhere. Include unusual settings and a preferred migration period so the request gives enough context.
Migration may affect website files, databases, DNS and mailboxes. Discuss the sequence, access required and who will check each component. Keep a backup available outside the environment being moved. Do not submit passwords or transfer codes in the enquiry form; we will discuss the necessary access and how to provide it afterwards.
Check pages, images, forms and any ordering functions in the new environment. Test outgoing and incoming email when moving mailboxes. DNS changes are not visible to everyone at exactly the same time. Allow for a transition period and discuss possible limitations beforehand. Your request starts a conversation; it does not confirm that migration has already happened.
Wait until the new environment has been tested and the old service is no longer needed.
Use the migration form with your website, provider and requirements. We contact you to discuss the approach.
Choose hosting around your website, mailboxes and preferred management tools. A compact business website needs different capacity from a large site with lots of media. Compare clear Drechthosting plans and ask for personal help when deciding.
Read the guide →Your domain name is the address for your website and email. Hosting provides space for website files or mailboxes. Registering a domain does not itself include a website or email plan. You can combine these services or use them separately where the settings allow.
Read the guide →You can use business email on your own domain without having a website. You need a domain, mailbox hosting and the correct DNS settings. This gives customers a recognisable email address, even when a website is planned for later.
