Website and Online Store Migration
What Migrations We Perform

Migration can vary in scale - from a simple hosting change to moving a store with customer and order data. At the start, we define what type of migration we are dealing with and what must be transferred.

  • Hosting migration

    Moving the website to another server without changing the domain. Often this is about better performance, stability, or configuration for a store.

  • Domain migration

    Changing the website address. This requires an SEO-safe approach: URL mapping and 301 redirects.

  • CMS migration

    Moving the website to another system or rebuilding it as part of a new implementation. Here, content, URLs, and structure are important.

  • Store migration

    Moving a store with the product catalog and sales data. This is usually the most demanding type of migration.

  • Staging → production

    Switching the finished website from the test environment to production in a controlled deployment window.

02 - Security

The Biggest Migration Risks
and How We Eliminate Them

Migration is safe when we know in advance what can go wrong. The biggest risks concern SEO, DNS, e-mail, SSL certificate, downtime, and data loss. That is why we work with checklists and tests. Risks we secure:

SEO and loss of visibility

URL mapping, 301 redirects, status checks, and post-deployment monitoring.

DNS and downtime

A DNS switching plan including TTL and a deployment window to minimize downtime.

E-mail and domain records

If e-mail works on the domain, we take care of records such as MX and avoid a situation where a DNS change cuts off e-mail.

SSL and browser trust issues

We ensure a correct certificate in the new environment and verify that there is no mixed content.

Data and integrity

In stores, this applies to products, orders, and customer accounts. We perform validation after migration.
03 - SEO

Migration Safe
for Website SEO

If migration affects URLs or structure, the priority is an SEO-safe approach. The goal is to preserve the value of pages that already work in Google and avoid indexing chaos after switching. What we do in SEO migration:

  1. 01

    URL mapping

    We prepare a list: what stays, what changes address, and where it should lead after the change.

  2. 02

    301 redirects

    We implement redirects so old URLs lead to the correct new equivalents without losing traffic.

  3. 03

    Canonicals, sitemap, robots

    We check canonicals, update the sitemap, and keep indexing rules in order so Google does not index unnecessary versions.

  4. 04

    Post-migration monitoring

    After deployment, we observe indexing and errors, for example in Google Search Console, and react to 404s and other problems.

04 - Store Migration

Safe Store Migration -
Products, Orders, Customer Accounts

Store migration is more demanding than migrating a company website because sales data and order logic are involved. At the start, we define the transfer scope: only the catalog or also order history and customer accounts.

What may be included in store migration

  • Products and catalog

    Categories, products, variants, attributes, photos, and descriptions - together with filter logic if needed.

  • Orders and statuses

    Order history, statuses, and basic data for sales handling.

  • Customer accounts

    Account data and login possibility. Depending on the platform, we define how to transfer information safely.

  • Integrations

    Payments, deliveries, invoices, warehouse integrations - after migration, they must be tested in practice.

05 - Test environment

Test Environment -
We Check Everything before Switching

Staging is a copy of the website or store where we prepare the migration without affecting the production version. This is a key stage because it allows us to detect problems before the website is switched. What we test on staging:

  1. 01

    Forms and contact paths

    We check whether forms work and messages are delivered.

  2. 02

    Checkout, payments, and deliveries

    In stores, we place test orders and check the process from start to finish.

  3. 03

    Integrations and critical elements

    We verify integrations: payments, couriers, CRM, marketing tools.

  4. 04

    Speed and basic stability

    We check whether the new environment is not slower and whether the website runs stably.

06 - DNS

DNS Switching Plan
and Downtime Minimization

DNS switching is the moment when users start reaching the new environment. To reduce downtime, we plan the deployment window and set TTL so the propagation of changes is as fast as possible. If needed, we also prepare rollback, meaning a return plan.

  • Deployment window

    We choose a time when traffic is lower to minimize the impact on users.

  • TTL and order of changes

    We set TTL in advance and then perform the switch according to the agreed order.

  • Rollback

    If a critical problem appears, we have a plan to return to the previous version.

07 - Control

What We Verify after Website
Migration

After migration, we perform verification. This stage determines whether the website will run stably in the following days. We check errors, redirects, SSL, analytics, and basic performance.

404 errors and redirects

We verify whether old URLs lead correctly and whether new errors have appeared.

SSL and security

We check the certificate and any mixed content.

Analytics and events

We verify whether analytics works and whether key events or conversions have not disappeared.

Crawl and indexing

We check whether robots and sitemap are correct and whether indexing issues have appeared.

Logs and server stability

If there are error signals, we check logs and react before the problem grows.

What you receive in the end

What You Receive
at the End of Migration

After migration, you receive an organized summary: what was done, what redirects exist, what tests we performed, and what is worth observing after deployment. The redirect document is prepared step by step to maintain consistency and implementation quality.

  • Redirect document

    Prepared so you know exactly what has changed.

  • Test report

    Summary of tests on staging and after migration: forms, checkout, integrations.

  • List of changes and recommendations

    What was changed and what is worth keeping on the radar in the following days.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions
About Website or Store Migration

We answer the most frequently asked questions about website or online store migration.

We minimize downtime thanks to staging and a DNS switching plan. Usually the break is short or unnoticeable, but it depends on the migration type and DNS.

It can, if migration is done without URL mapping and redirects. That is why we perform SEO-safe migration and monitor the situation after deployment.

It depends on the scope. Hosting migration is usually faster than domain migration or a store migration with data. We always start by defining the plan.

If e-mail is connected to the domain, we take care of DNS records such as MX so migration does not cut off e-mails. This is part of the switching plan.

Yes. A backup before migration is essential because it provides a way back in case of problems.
