What is a Migration?

Like birds headed for greener pastures during winter, we move your precious data from old servers to it’s new home. We start by copying all of the moving parts from your old hosting setup to a new host, while paying close attention to detail so the cogs that keep your company running continue to spin. Once everything is tested and running smoothly on the new host, we open the doors for business to your customers.

Whats Involved?

The migration process will start with an in depth conversation with a real human being about your particular project. We want to get to know you and your systems before we start doing business, and will discuss the urgency, importance, and details of your particular migration before we begin. Some configurations are complicated and will require a specialist from our team to do a “deep dive” analysis to ensure that your business keeps moving forward throughout the process.

    Snapshot

    The most important step in this process is to take a complete “snapshot” of everything in your existing environment. That snapshot is then used to start establishing your presence with your new host. Don’t worry; the gears that keep your business running on the web will keep moving throughout this process without interruption, and our virtual stopwatch will keep track of everything that changes during this time.

  • Website Migrations

    Starter applications and websites are typically hosted in a shared environment. As the application grows or customers find that their current hosting solution doesn't meet their business needs, a migration to either another shared hosting provider or dedicated is the first challenge that they face.

  • Control Panel

    Hosted servers administered by specialized control panel software such as cPanel or Plesk require special attention be given to insure not only all of the websites and applications hosted on the server are properly transitioned, but also the meta data used to allow the control panel to properly manage the services.

  • Virtualization & Cloud

    Migrating infrastructure that is already or is becoming virtualized involves an in-depth understanding of the underlying hypervisor platform. Virtual machine images are transferred natively to insure the most compatibility during the migration. These types of migrations typically prevent the need to reinstall any software within the virtual machines, but can be combined with other migration techniques to provide the most up-to-date data integrity.
