What is cloud migration?
Cloud migration is moving your websites, applications and data from one host, data centre or cloud to another. Done well, it is planned, rehearsed and reversible, so customers barely notice.

- Other VPS and cloud hosts
- AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
- Your own servers or data centre

Migration questions.
Will my site go down during the move?
For standard moves, a short pause in a window you choose. We lower DNS TTL days ahead, freeze changes, run the final sync and switch. Stores that cannot pause get database replication for a near-instant switch; that is quoted.
What if something goes wrong?
Your old host stays untouched for 7 days. If something misbehaves after the switch, we fix it on the new server or switch back, copying across any orders or data written since the move.
Who is around during the cutover?
Our 24/7 operations desk. We run the cutover in your chosen window, often late at night, watch logs, orders and email afterwards, and send you a written handover.
Can you migrate us to AWS instead?
Yes. AWS moves follow the same plan with a rollback agreed first. See AWS migration.
