Website Migration Guide β€” Prepare, Transfer and Cut Over

Assisted migrations scope eligible data, transfer it to HubforHost, validate the destination and plan the DNS cutover. The process is designed to minimize disruption; outcomes depend on source access, data integrity, DNS and third-party systems.

πŸ“‹ Prerequisites

  • An eligible HubforHost hosting plan for the destination
  • Non-secret source details (host, URLs, domains, package and invoice references where applicable)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Submit non-secret details

Use the migration form. Never submit passwords, private keys, recovery codes or API tokens in the form.

2

Transfer and validation

Files, databases, mail data, cron jobs and certificates are copied as agreed, then validated through available preview methods.

3

Cut over with a rollback plan

DNS is updated at the agreed window with a rollback approach. DNS propagation and third-party behavior can still affect availability.

πŸ“Œ Important Notes

  • If access is required later, support arranges a separate, time-limited credential exchange.
