Guided migration
Migrating your site, with a person at every step
This isn't an automatic uploader: someone from our team reviews every stage with you, from exporting your files to going live.
Here's how it works
Four clear steps, documented from start to finish. At every one of them, someone from BorealHosting works alongside you.
-
1
Export your files
We identify and back up everything that makes up your current site: HTML, PHP, images, and a database if there is one, wherever it's hosted today.
YouYou give us access to your current host or builder (or whatever credentials we need).
UsWe run the full backup and check that nothing's missing before moving on.
-
2
Upload via FTP
We upload the files to your new BorealHosting hosting, mirroring the original structure so nothing gets lost along the way.
YouNothing technical needed from you at this step.
UsWe set up FTP, upload everything, and adjust whatever the new environment needs.

3
Staging tests
Before touching your live site, we test everything in a private environment — a copy only you and we can see — to check pages, forms, and links.
YouYou review staging with us and tell us if anything looks off.
UsWe fix whatever comes up before moving to the next step.
-
4
Going live
Once staging is approved, we point your domain to the new hosting and confirm everything works in production.
YouYou give us the final green light to make the switch.
UsWe make the DNS change, monitor that everything loads, and stay available in case anything breaks in the first hours.
How we make sure nothing breaks
Moving a site isn't just copying files: domains, SSL certificates, forms, and databases can all break if something happens in the wrong order. That's why we have a person from our team accompany every migration, end to end.
