Website migration

Business website migration services.

Move one compatible website with a clear plan. We review the current setup, plan the changeover, and check the moved site. Larger or complex websites get a separate quote.

Move your website with a clear plan.

A website can depend on hosting, email, domain settings, and outside services. We check those connections before the changeover.

Reviewed first

We check the current setup and flag anything that needs attention.

Tested where possible

The copied website is checked before the live changeover where the setup allows it.

Clearly explained

A fixed-fee project uses one-time project billing: a 50% deposit books the work and the remaining 50% is due when the agreed work is delivered for approval, before launch, migration cutover, or final file handoff. The written order confirms whether payment is made by a Stripe invoice or payment link, PayPal, or other agreed invoice instructions. Monthly services follow the separate recurring-billing rule.

Standard and Managed migrations are for transferable WordPress or static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript websites when both the source and target provide conventional file access and, when needed, MySQL or MariaDB export and import. cPanel, Plesk, SFTP, SSH, or host file and database tools are usable only when they provide the required access. Ecommerce, membership, multisite, custom applications, proprietary builders, locked hosts, unsupported runtimes or databases, mailboxes, and domain transfers need Complex review or may be declined.

The client must provide authorized working access through a separately agreed secure method, keep an independent current backup, keep the source hosting active, and freeze content changes during the agreed cutover. NivoraHost may make a working copy where access permits, but it does not replace the client backup or guarantee restoration. Temporary access should be revoked or rotated after handoff.

Cutover happens in one agreed window after the client approves the tested copy and an authorized contact is available. The source is left unchanged where the source system allows it. If critical public pages, administration, forms, or agreed purchase functions fail and cannot be corrected within that window, work stops and NivoraHost recommends a rollback; the authorized client contact approves the live switch or DNS reversal. DNS caching and third-party systems mean restoration time and zero downtime cannot be guaranteed.

A migration-defect window covers only transfer errors caused by our migration. Redesign, content repair, malware cleanup, SEO work, and third-party fees are excluded unless added in writing. Compare all NivoraHost pricing

Migration questions

Website migration questions.

Will my website be offline during the move?

Downtime depends on the current setup, DNS caching, and third-party systems. We plan to reduce disruption, but we do not guarantee a zero-downtime move.

Can email or domain settings be affected?

Yes. Email and domain settings can be involved, so we check them before changing DNS or hosting.

Does migration change the website design?

No. A standard migration moves the existing website. Design changes are scoped as separate work.

What access might you need?

We may need authorized website, hosting, domain, file, and database access through an agreed secure method. Keep a current independent backup and the source hosting active; revoke temporary access after handoff. Use our migration checklist to prepare.

Which websites can use a fixed migration package?

Standard and Managed cover eligible WordPress or static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript sites when both the source and target provide working file access and, when needed, MySQL or MariaDB export and import. More complex or locked systems need review or may be declined.

What happens if the cutover fails?

We stop if an agreed critical function fails and cannot be corrected in the cutover window. We then recommend returning DNS to the unchanged source where feasible. Your authorized contact approves the live switch or rollback.
