We do the moving
Files, databases and email. We copy everything, get it running on our machines, and only then switch the DNS. If anything is off, nothing switches: your site stays where it is.
How it goes, step by step
Five steps and one decision of yours: the day of the switch.
- 1
You tell us what you have
The domain, what is running (WordPress, PrestaShop, a custom site, mailboxes) and who it is with. That is enough for us to say whether anything cannot come over as it is.
- 2
You give us access
An FTP or SSH user and database access, or your current provider’s panel. If you would rather not hand over credentials, one of their backups will do: we work with whatever you can give us.
- 3
We copy and set it up
Files, databases and mailboxes, with their folders. We serve it from our machines on a test domain, so it can be opened and checked before anything is touched.
- 4
You check it
You open the test site, check what matters to you —the cart, the form, the mail— and tell us if anything is missing. Meanwhile your live site is exactly as it was.
- 5
We switch the DNS
Once the copy answers and you give the go-ahead, the domain points here. The certificate is issued automatically. We leave the old site standing for a few days, just in case.
What comes over
Files
The whole site tree, with permissions and scheduled jobs.
Databases
MySQL and MariaDB, with their users.
Mailboxes
The mail with its folders, not just the inbox.
DNS
The whole zone, record by record, before anything changes.
What it costs
Nothing: it is included in whichever plan you take, with no limit on sites or mailboxes and no lock-in. What you pay for is the hosting, from 2.99 € a month. VAT not applicable — French small-business exemption, art. 293 B of the CGI.
