Website migration is a change of hosting, server or domain without losing data or search rankings. We move a site so that it keeps opening at the same addresses and neither visitors nor search engines notice the change. If your site is not yet on the Shopnseo platform, it can be moved onto it too — more on that below.
When you need to move a site
- The hosting cannot cope with the load: the site is slow or often unavailable.
- The hosting has become expensive or its support does not solve problems.
- You need a more powerful server because the business has grown.
- You need to move the site to another domain or merge several sites.
- The site is on an outdated engine and you want to switch to a platform that is easier to run.
How we move a site
- Getting to know the site. We look at what it is built on, how many pages and how much data it has, and whether there are forms, payments and integrations.
- Backups. We save the files and the database: if something goes wrong, there is always something to go back to.
- Copying to the new place. We move the files and the database and configure the environment for the site.
- Testing before the switch. We open the moved site on the new server and check pages, forms, email and everything that works for you.
- Switching the domain. We change DNS records; the old server stays up until all visitors have moved to the new one.
- Search rankings. We keep page addresses; if addresses change, we set up 301 redirects and notify search engines of the changes.
- Handover. We hand over the access details and a description of what was done.
Moving a site to the Shopnseo platform
If your site runs on another engine, we can move its content — sections, pages, products — to the Shopnseo platform, keeping the addresses or setting up redirects. After that the site is managed from the panel, without a programmer. More — turnkey website development.
How much website migration costs
The price depends on the size of the site, its complexity (forms, payments, integrations) and urgency, so we price it by estimate after getting to know the site. If the site is moved onto the platform, the one-time setup prices by tier are on the pricing page.
How to order website migration
Write to info@seowebdev.ru: send the site address and briefly describe what you want to change. We will look at the site and tell you whether we take it on and how it will go.
What we do not do
We are responsible for the technical side of the move. You choose and pay for the hosting yourself. After the move the site can be put on website support, and if the site needs a new look, website coding; texts and promotion are seoforger.ru, design is kb77.ru.
