Website Migration Service UK

Move your existing website to a stronger UK hosting route with a clear plan for website files, email, DNS, SSL and the checks that matter before launch.

Move Hosting Without Disrupting Your Website, Email or Domain

A general website move can affect far more than the pages visitors see. Your domain, email, SSL certificate, redirects, forms and database-driven features may all need a clear plan.

This page is for business owners moving a website that is not specifically WordPress. It works as the starting point for custom-built sites, brochure websites, static HTML/PHP sites, database-driven sites and other hosting setups that need a broader migration conversation.

Start with the destination hosting plan, then review what the current website uses before anything is moved or the live domain is changed.

Discuss Your Website Move

This route fits websites that need:

  • A move away from slow, restrictive or unreliable hosting.
  • A plan for website files, databases and customer-facing features.
  • Email, SSL and DNS considered before the domain is switched.
  • A new hosting plan that makes sense for the next stage of the site.
  • A broader migration discussion than a WordPress-specific move.
The broader website-move route

Before You Move, Check What Keeps Your Website and Business Running

Your website move should account for the services that customers use and the systems your business relies on after visitors land on the new host.

Website Files and Structure

Review the pages, assets, uploads, folders and site structure that make the website display correctly on its current hosting.

Databases Where They Matter

Consider any databases, forms, booking systems or custom features that support the website beyond static pages.

Email That Keeps the Business Moving

Plan around domain mailboxes, incoming enquiries and any email settings that are currently connected to the hosting account.

DNS and Domain Timing

Know which domain records need to change and wait until the new website is ready before sending visitors to it.

SSL and Secure Browsing

Check HTTPS after the migration so customers can keep using the secure version of the site they expect.

The Pages Customers Use Most

Check key pages, contact forms, navigation, logins and other visitor actions before the new setup becomes live.

Five Things to Check Before You Switch a Live Website to New Hosting

Work through the website, business email and domain settings first, then point visitors to the new hosting only when the important parts have been checked.

STEP 1

List What Cannot Stop Working

Identify the live pages, forms, databases, email, domain records and customer actions the business depends on today.

STEP 2

Choose Hosting for What Comes Next

Select the DirectAdmin plan around the domains, storage and email capacity the website will need once it is moved.

STEP 3

Build and Check the New Copy

Move the site to the new account, then check the files, database-driven features and supporting services identified at the start.

STEP 4

Test the Parts Customers Reach

Review the key pages, contact forms, navigation, email, logins and HTTPS before the new website becomes public.

STEP 5

Point the Domain Only When Ready

Update the DNS or nameservers once the new website has been checked and the business is ready to send visitors there.

Is Your Site Built in WordPress? Use the WordPress-Specific Migration Route

Use this Website Migration Service for general hosting moves, custom-built sites, static websites and mixed website setups. Choose the dedicated WordPress Migration Service for a WordPress site, WooCommerce store or a WordPress project that needs platform-specific planning.

The domains, storage and email capacity your website will need after it is live in the new account.

What platform your website uses, where it is hosted now and which services must keep working after the move.

Website Migration FAQs

Clear answers before you choose the new hosting account and plan a broader website move.

A website migration service is a planned move of an existing website from one hosting setup to another. Depending on the website, this can involve files, databases, domain settings, SSL, email and checks before the new version becomes live.

Yes. This page is the broader Website Migration route for websites that are not specifically WordPress-based, including brochure websites, static sites, custom-built websites and other hosting moves. WordPress websites have their own dedicated WordPress Migration Service page.

Yes. You can usually keep your existing domain name. The domain can be pointed to the new hosting once the migrated website has been checked and is ready to become live.

A migration review normally needs details of the current hosting account, website files, databases where relevant, domain information, email setup and any important customer features such as forms, booking tools or online payments.

Email should be discussed before a website move because mailboxes and domain records may be connected to the current hosting setup. The migration route can be planned around the email service, DNS records and mailboxes you need to keep.

DNS and nameserver changes may be needed when the domain is pointed to the new hosting. These changes should be planned after the new website has been checked so visitors are not sent to an untested setup.

SSL and HTTPS should be checked after the new website is in place so visitors can continue using the secure version of the site when the domain is pointed to the new hosting.

Key pages, navigation, contact forms, logins and important customer actions should be checked after the move. This helps identify issues before the new website becomes the live version.

Choose the plan around the number of domains, NVMe storage and email accounts your website needs after the move. DA-10 is the starting option for one website, while DA-20 and DA-30 provide more allowance for additional websites, storage and email users.

Use the dedicated WordPress Migration Service page for a WordPress website. It focuses on WordPress-specific considerations such as the WordPress database, themes, plugins, uploads and WordPress admin access.
