Website migration Website migration to a new host — BB STUDIO to a new host

We move your site to a new host along with its database, SSL, redirects and email settings — usually with no downtime for visitors. Moving to BB STUDIO hosting is free and comes with 2 weeks of hosting on us; moving to any other host starts at ₴1,500.

We work under a formal contract, with no prepayment. Your old hosting stays live until we have checked everything on the new one together.

Website migration to a new host — BB STUDIO

How to move without downtime or lost data

People usually move a site because it is slow, the control panel is awkward, renewals are expensive or the host has dropped the PHP version they need. But migration is more than copying files: there is the database, email, the SSL certificate, cron jobs and server settings, all easy to lose along the way.

We migrate so that visitors notice nothing: we test a copy of the site at a temporary URL, lower the DNS TTL in advance where possible and only then switch the domain over. After the switch we go through forms, email, payments and redirects once more.

If you are moving to us, the migration is free and your first 2 weeks of hosting are on us. Our hosting plans start at ₴150/mo and include daily backups and SSL.

Website migration pricing

Moving to us costs nothing; for another host, we name the price once we have seen the site. No prepayment.

The price depends on the size of the site and database, the number of sites and mailboxes, and whether we have access to the old hosting. If the new host is not ours, you pay the provider directly.

What the migration covers

01

A full backup

Before touching anything, we save the files and database somewhere separate. Whatever happens, the site can be restored.

02

Files, database and settings

We copy the site, import the database, update the credentials in the configuration, and set up the right PHP version and cron jobs.

03

Testing at a temporary URL

We open the site on the new server before the domain is switched and check the pages, admin panel, search and checkout.

04

Switching DNS

If DNS stays with the same provider and only the A records change, we lower the TTL in advance — at least one old-TTL period ahead. A nameserver change cannot be sped up this way, so we allow more time, and while the change propagates, both servers keep working.

05

Email and SSL

We check the MX records so incoming mail keeps reaching your inboxes, and SPF and DKIM so mail sent from your domain and site stays out of spam. Then we install the SSL certificate on the new server.

06

Checks after the move

Forms, payments, redirects, cron, speed — we go through everything again after the switch. The old hosting stays on until we are sure nothing has been lost.

How the move works

  1. Access and TTL

    We get access to both hosting accounts and, if DNS stays with the same provider, lower the TTL on your records in advance.

  2. Copy and test

    We take a backup, deploy the site on the new server and test it at a temporary URL.

  3. Domain switch

    Once everything checks out, we point the domain at the new server.

  4. Final check

    We check email, SSL, forms and redirects; only then do you cancel the old hosting.

Why let us handle the move

  • Hosting is one of our services: DNS, email and servers are things we configure all the time, not once every few years.
  • Any platform will do: our CMS, WordPress with WooCommerce, OpenCart, Laravel or plain PHP sites.
  • We switch the domain only once the site is already running on the new server, and take no step without a backup.
  • No prepayment: you pay as agreed or under the contract; we are a Ukrainian sole proprietor, not VAT-registered.
  • Transparent pricing: free when moving to our hosting, from ₴1,500 to any other host.

Common migration mistakes

  1. The domain is switched before anyone has tested the site on the new server.
  2. Email is forgotten: the MX records are not carried over, and mail to the domain stops arriving.
  3. The old hosting is cancelled on moving day, leaving nowhere to fall back to.
  4. The TTL was not lowered in advance where that was possible, so some visitors keep reaching the old server for a long time.
  5. URLs in the WordPress database are changed with a plain find-and-replace, breaking serialised theme and widget settings.
  6. .htaccess rules are not recreated on an Nginx server, so redirects stop working and inner pages return 404.

Website migration FAQ

Moving to BB STUDIO hosting is free, plus 2 weeks of hosting on us. Moving to any other host starts at ₴1,500; the exact price depends on the size of the site and database and the number of sites and mailboxes. We quote before we start.

Usually not, provided everything is done in the right order. The old server keeps running while we move and test the copy. We switch the domain once the new server is ready, and while the DNS change propagates, visitors reach one of two working servers.

MX records decide where mail for your domain is delivered, so we make sure they still point to your mailboxes. SPF and DKIM cover mail sent from your domain and site: if the site now sends email from the new server, we update them so messages stay out of spam. If your mailboxes live on the old hosting, we agree in advance where to move them.

For online stores we schedule the switch for a quieter time and sync the database once more right before it, so new orders and sign-ups are not left behind on the old server.

Yes, and we update the URLs in the database properly, without breaking theme or plugin settings. For these sites we offer dedicated WordPress hosting.

Access to the old hosting (control panel, FTP or SSH, database) and to wherever you manage your domain, so we can change the DNS. If you have lost access, we will help you get it back.

No. There is no prepayment for our work: you pay as agreed or under the contract. We operate officially as a Ukrainian sole proprietor (FOP, 3rd group), not VAT-registered, and provide a contract, invoice and certificate of completion.
