Linux, VPS and dedicated server migration
Move supported Linux workloads between VPS, dedicated and compatible virtual or cloud infrastructure while preserving the agreed operating configuration.
Planned server-to-server migration
Moving a production server is more than copying files
A reliable server migration service has to preserve the relationships between websites, databases, email, DNS, certificates, scheduled jobs, users, permissions and network rules. Copying data without those dependencies can produce a destination that looks complete but fails under real traffic.
We begin by identifying what must move, how quickly the data changes and what the destination already provides. The migration method is then built around the workload, available access, maintenance window and practical rollback options.
This is a technical migration service for infrastructure you already own or rent. We do not sell the source server, destination server, VPS, dedicated hardware or cloud account.
Scope documented
Websites, databases, mail, DNS, certificates and special services are identified before transfer.
Source health reviewed
Storage, package state, service failures and existing data issues are checked before copying them forward.
Destination prepared
Versions, storage, network access, runtimes and control-panel compatibility are checked early.
Data synchronized
Initial and final synchronization are used where practical to shorten the cutover window.
Cutover planned
DNS, service stops, final writes and stakeholder timing are coordinated around the workload.
Destination verified
Agreed websites, databases, mail flow and background services are checked after migration.
Migration coverage
Server migration services for common production environments
One page and one engineering process cover the migration types most customers actually need.
cPanel server migration
Transfer accounts, websites, databases, mailboxes, DNS zones and control-panel configuration after checking versions, licences and destination compatibility.
Plesk server migration
Plan subscription, domain, database, email and configuration transfer between compatible Plesk environments with validation after cutover.
Cloud server migration
Move server workloads to or between suitable cloud virtual machines while you retain the provider accounts, networking and infrastructure billing.
Website and database migration
Move selected sites, files, MySQL or MariaDB data and application configuration when a full server clone is unnecessary or unsafe.
Email and DNS migration
Include mailbox data, authentication, routing and DNS records with TTL planning and delivery checks when mail is part of the agreed workload.

A cutover plan built around the complete workload
A server can answer on its new IP while still being incomplete. Database users may have the wrong privileges, a scheduled job may still run on the source, outbound mail may fail authentication, or an application may reference a path that changed on the destination.
Our engineers map the workload before transfer. That includes accounts, files, ownership, permissions, databases, web runtimes, certificates, mail routing, DNS zones, cron jobs, firewall rules and external dependencies that are relevant to the agreed service.
When the source continues receiving writes, an initial copy can be followed by a final synchronization during cutover. Database consistency and application behaviour determine whether services should be paused, dumped, replicated or transferred by a control-panel migration tool.
DNS is prepared as part of the operating plan, not treated as an afterthought. Existing TTL values, authoritative nameservers, mail records and application endpoints are reviewed so traffic can be moved deliberately. Propagation remains dependent on external resolvers and cannot be made instant.
After cutover, we test the agreed services from the destination and compare key data where practical. The source remains available for validation and rollback when the provider, access and migration method allow it. Retirement happens only after the destination is accepted.
Accounts, files and permissionsOwnership, paths, web roots, user access and application data are preserved where compatible.
Databases and changing dataConsistency, users, privileges and final synchronization are planned around active writes.
Web runtime and certificatesVersions, modules, virtual hosts, PHP handlers, TLS files and dependencies are checked.
Email and DNSMailboxes, authentication, routing, zones, TTL values and cutover records stay visible.
Jobs, firewall and validationScheduled work, listeners, rules, background services and destination checks complete the move.
Clear migration scope
We move the server workload. You retain the infrastructure.
The source and destination accounts stay under your control. Before work begins, we confirm what will move, what the destination must provide and which items need separate application or provider work.
Typical standard migration scope
- Preflight review of the source, destination and agreed workload
- Transfer of supported files, databases, mail and server configuration
- Planned synchronization, DNS cutover and service validation
- Clear notes for outstanding risks or post-migration actions
Quoted separately when required: application rewrites, unsupported legacy software, physical hardware relocation, provider fees, third-party licences, very large datasets and complex multi-server architectures.
Choose the right support path
Standard migration or a complex migration plan?
The $149 service covers a defined compatible move. Larger or unusual environments need an assessed scope before scheduling.
Standard Server Migration
Best for a compatible single-server or selected-workload migration with normal access and a clear source-to-destination path.
- From $149 per server, one-time
- Preflight, transfer, cutover and validation
- No recurring plan required
Complex or Multi-Server Migration
Best for clusters, large datasets, major version changes, cross-platform conversion, strict maintenance windows or several dependent servers.
- Architecture and compatibility reviewed first
- Phased cutover options documented
- Quote based on workload and risk
A controlled move
How the server migration process works
Every migration follows a clear sequence without decorating the page with meaningless promises.
Assess the workload
We identify services, data, versions, access, dependencies and the destination requirements.
Prepare the destination
Storage, networking, runtimes, control panel and security prerequisites are checked.
Transfer and synchronize
Data and configuration move using the safest practical method for the environment.
Cut over and verify
Traffic moves to the destination and the agreed websites, data, mail and services are tested.

We had a difficult urgent server migration due to an OVH issue. The team did an awesome job migrating us to a new server. Other companies could not solve the issue. Highly recommended for Linux server issues.

Migration risk depends on the workload and destination. Send both server details if you need compatibility checked before ordering.
The standard service covers a pre-migration review, destination readiness checks, transfer of the agreed websites, databases, email, DNS data and server configuration, a planned cutover, and post-migration validation. The exact scope is confirmed before work begins.
A standard server migration starts at $149 per server as a one-time service. Multi-server environments, unusually large datasets, legacy software, complex mail systems and migrations that require application changes are reviewed and quoted separately.
Downtime depends on the workload, data-change rate, DNS design and whether a final synchronization is possible. We plan the transfer and cutover to reduce interruption, but we do not promise zero downtime before reviewing the environment.
Yes. We can migrate between VPS, dedicated-server and cloud providers when the source and destination give the access and features required for the workload. You keep ownership and billing for both provider accounts.
Yes. We handle Linux server migration and compatible cPanel-to-cPanel, Plesk-to-Plesk and selected cross-platform moves. Control-panel versions, operating systems, licences and destination compatibility are checked before the method is confirmed.
Yes. A migration can be limited to selected websites, files, databases and associated configuration when that is safer or more practical than reproducing the whole server.
Email accounts, mailbox data and relevant DNS records can be included when they are part of the agreed scope. Mailbox volume, authentication, routing, TTL values and the destination mail service are reviewed before cutover.
We check available backups, preserve the source system during validation, use staged or final synchronization where practical, and compare the agreed services and data after transfer. A rollback approach is documented when the environment supports one.
We normally need privileged access to the source and destination servers plus access to relevant control panels, DNS or provider consoles when those are required for cutover. Access requirements are confirmed before work begins.
Yes. Ongoing server management is available separately after the migration. You can also use the migration as a one-time service without starting a monthly plan.
