Our Migration Process

A planned approach designed to reduce disruption

Submit Request

We confirm what access is needed: hosting panel, FTP/SFTP, database, email, or DNS.

3

Backup & Transfer

Website files and databases are backed up and transferred to WeFitHost.

4

Testing

The site is checked on the new hosting environment before DNS changes.

5

Go Live

DNS records are updated and the website is monitored during launch.

What Happens During Your Migration

A clear picture of what to expect while your website and email are being moved.

Nothing to Do

Our team handles every part of the move for you. You'll receive an email confirming completion once the migration is finished.

Website Stays Online

No downtime is expected. Visitors and admins can use the site as normal throughout the process.

Check Both Mailboxes

During the move, email may route to either the old or new mailbox. Check both so you don't miss any new messages. Sending works as usual.

Same Logins After

Your website and email login details stay exactly the same as before the migration.

Migration Time

Typically 20 minutes to 4 hours, with an average of around 30–40 minutes. DNS propagation can take up to 72 hours to fully complete.

Mail Client Update

If you use mail.yourdomain.com as your mail server, no change is needed. If you use a hostname or IP instead, you'll need to update your mail client. We'll send details when required.

What You Get On Your New Hosting

Every migration comes with a noticeable upgrade in speed, reliability, and security.

Full SSD Web Space

High-spec Samsung SSDs power your web space so your website loads extremely quickly, a factor search engines and visitors both care about.

Autoscaling & Load Balancing

Your site takes resources from a whole platform, not just one or two servers. If a server has trouble, another steps in with no impact.

Modern Control Panel

A brand-new, responsive control panel designed to be user-friendly so you access everything you need from any device, anywhere.

Email Spam & Security

Outbound email is filtered to reduce blacklisting risks, and incoming email passes through advanced virus and spam checks before it reaches you.

Bespoke WordPress Platform

WordPress sites run on a fully-optimised platform with StackCache caching, WordPress Staging, automatic core updates, and regular security scans.

Built for Speed

47% of users expect a website to load in under two seconds, our SSD platform and caching give you the best chance of hitting that target.
