How to migrate a site to another host?

Migration steps, how to minimize downtime and the keys to a safe switch.

Why people switch hosting

Common reasons: slow speed, frequent outages, weak support, high price or a distant server location. Moving to local, fast, reliable hosting fixes these.

Migration steps

  • 1. Take a full backup of the site and database.
  • 2. Prepare the new host (matching PHP/OS version).
  • 3. Transfer files and database, update configuration.
  • 4. Test the migrated site on the new server (before DNS change).
  • 5. Point DNS to the new server, lowering TTL in advance.

How to minimize downtime

Before migrating, lower DNS TTL, fully test the site on the new server, and switch DNS only after verification. Keep the old host for a few days until the switch settles.
