Websites and shops
Files, databases, runtime and background jobs belong together. Check forms, payment in test mode and external integrations as well.
Server and hosting migration
We help migrate websites, mailboxes and servers. This covers the inventory, data transfer, functional testing and the agreed cutover.
Process
Define the current setup and target
Document systems, data volumes, contacts and acceptance criteria. The quotation describes work, required participation and effort.
Prepare transfer and a pilot
Prepare the target environment and initial transfer. Authorised pilot users check selected business workflows.
Cut over and verify
Pause changes where necessary, synchronise remaining data and change DNS or access routes within the agreed window.
Accept and follow up
Check functions, data and access together. Retire the old system only after approval and in accordance with agreed retention.
Essential parts of a migration plan
| Topic | Agreement | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Data state | Time of final synchronisation | Identify changes in old and new environments |
| Cutover window | Date, participants and communication | Enable decisions during the change |
| Fallback | Trigger, procedure and reconciliation | Respond to problems in a controlled way |
Existing systems and target environment
Domains, mailboxes, databases and business applications often have different owners. We examine those relationships before selecting a window. Planning covers the target environment, access, notice periods with the previous provider and an agreed fallback procedure.
Email and groupware
Calendars, contacts, sharing and archives may need attention alongside messages. Mailbox migration and changes to mail routing must be coordinated.
Servers and workplaces
Record applications, identities, certificates and connected devices. Vendor approval and licences must also fit the target platform.
Prepare for an initial assessment
- Current provider, products and intended cancellation dates
- Applications, versions, data volume and available access
- Domains, DNS, mail routing and external integrations
- Preferred date and business contact for acceptance
Frequently asked questions
Is migration free?
We estimate effort from your systems and the support required. Free migration is not a blanket inclusion in hosting offers.
When can the previous contract end?
Review notice periods early. Technically retire the old environment only after successful acceptance and after preserving the required data and backups.
