Website Migration Services
Move your website to a new host, platform, or domain without downtime, data loss, or SEO damage. Professional migration handled start to finish.
Professional Website Migration
Website migrations are one of the most technically complex tasks in web management. Done wrong, they cause downtime, broken links, lost data, and significant drops in search rankings. Done right, your visitors never notice the change — and your site often performs better on the new platform.
VSF Technology handles website migrations for businesses across Tampa Bay and the United States. Whether you are moving to faster hosting, switching from Wix or Squarespace to WordPress, or consolidating multiple sites, we manage the entire process — from pre-migration audit to post-migration verification.
Types of Website Migrations We Handle
Hosting Migration
Move your existing website from one hosting provider to another — preserving all files, databases, emails, and settings.
Platform Migration
Migrate from Wix, Squarespace, Weebly, or another website builder to WordPress for more control and better SEO.
Domain Migration
Move your website to a new domain name with proper 301 redirects to preserve SEO equity and prevent broken links.
WordPress Migration
Move a WordPress site between hosting providers, including database migration, file transfer, and DNS cutover.
HTTP to HTTPS Migration
Migrate your site from HTTP to HTTPS with proper SSL installation, redirect setup, and mixed-content resolution.
Server Migration
Move from shared hosting to VPS or dedicated server as your traffic grows — without disrupting your live site.
Our Migration Process
Pre-Migration Audit
We audit your current site — crawling all URLs, documenting redirects, and identifying any issues that need to be resolved before migration.
New Environment Setup
The destination hosting environment is configured and tested before any files are moved. DNS TTL is lowered to minimize propagation time.
Files & Database Transfer
All website files, databases, and media are transferred to the new environment and verified for completeness and integrity.
Testing on Staging
The migrated site is tested thoroughly on the new server before DNS is changed — checking functionality, forms, payments, and performance.
DNS Cutover
DNS records are updated to point to the new server. The cutover is timed to minimize traffic impact and monitored until propagation is complete.
Post-Migration Verification
After the migration, we verify all pages load correctly, redirects work, SSL is active, and Google Search Console reflects the new setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a website migration take?
Most migrations take between a few hours and a few days. A simple WordPress migration to a new host can often be completed in a single day. Platform migrations (e.g., Wix to WordPress) take longer because content must be restructured.
Will my SEO rankings be affected?
A properly executed migration preserves your SEO rankings. This requires maintaining URL structure where possible, setting up 301 redirects for any changed URLs, updating canonical tags, and re-verifying the site in Google Search Console.
Can you migrate from Wix or Squarespace to WordPress?
Yes. VSF Technology handles migrations from Wix, Squarespace, Weebly, Joomla, Drupal, and other platforms to WordPress. Content is restructured to match the new platform while preserving SEO value.
What if something goes wrong during the migration?
Before any migration begins, a complete backup is taken of the original site. If anything goes wrong, the original site can be restored immediately. Migrations are also tested on staging before the DNS cutover.
Do you handle email migration as well?
Yes. If your email is hosted on the same server as your website, we coordinate the email migration to ensure no messages are lost during the transition.
