First, we check what needs to move
Every hosting setup is different. Before work begins, an engineer reviews the current provider, available access, website technology, data size, email requirements and the best time for cutover.
Usually supported
- WordPress and WooCommerce websites
- cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin accounts
- PHP applications and MySQL databases
- Compatible IMAP email accounts
- VPS and dedicated-server workloads
- DNS records, SSL and scheduled tasks
Compatibility and included migration scope depend on the selected SeekaHost plan and the access available from your current provider.
The Process
A careful migration,
from audit to
launch
The new hosting is prepared alongside your current service. DNS is changed only after the copied website has been reviewed.
-
01
Audit and plan
We review access, website technology, storage, databases, email, DNS and any special server requirements.
-
02
Copy and configure
Files, databases and compatible services are copied to a private destination environment.
-
03
Test and validate
Important pages, forms, database connections, SSL and common services are checked before launch.
-
04
Cut over and monitor
DNS is updated at the agreed time, followed by final checks while traffic begins reaching SeekaHost.
Migration Coverage
More than just
copying files
A successful hosting move depends on the connected services around the website, not only the public pages.
Databases
MySQL and compatible application databases, users and connection settings.
Email accounts
Mailboxes and messages where suitable IMAP or account access is available.
DNS records
A, AAAA, CNAME, MX and TXT records reviewed before nameservers are changed.
SSL configuration
HTTPS is configured on compatible hosted domains before or during cutover.
Scheduled tasks
Compatible cron jobs, redirects and application configuration are reviewed.
Control panel migration
cPanel, Plesk or a
cPanel, Plesk or a
custom setup
Full account backups can make cPanel-to-cPanel transfers especially efficient. Other control panels and managed platforms can also be moved, with unsupported settings recreated manually where practical.
- Full cPanel account and reseller migrations
- Plesk and DirectAdmin hosting accounts
- Managed WordPress platform migrations
- SFTP, SSH and database-level transfers

Before Launch
The details that protect
a smooth cutover
Good migrations are built on preparation. These checks reduce the most common causes of disruption when hosting providers change.
- 01 Confirm a current backup A final recovery point is retained before major changes.
- 02 Review DNS and lower TTL where practical Existing records are documented before nameservers change.
- 03 Plan dynamic data synchronisation Orders, bookings and user-generated content may need a final sync.
- 04 Test important customer journeys Forms, login, checkout, email and SSL are checked after launch.

★★★★★
Switched to SeekaHost from SiteGround over a year ago and it was the best decision I ever made. Faster sites, real people on support, and I never think about the server anymore.
“Managing our website is simple and stress-free. The uptime has been excellent, and help is always available when needed.”
“Rock-solid hosting and genuinely responsive support. Our firm's site has been fast and reliable since day one — exactly what a busy practice needs.”
Migration FAQ
Questions before
you move
Every provider and website is different. These answers cover the most common migration questions.
Ask an engineer →Is website migration free?
Migration is available at no additional charge with eligible SeekaHost hosting plans. Compatibility, account limits and the scope of work are reviewed before migration begins.
What can SeekaHost migrate?
We can usually migrate compatible website files, databases, WordPress installations, email accounts, DNS records, SSL configuration and common scheduled tasks.
Will my website experience downtime?
The copied website is prepared and tested before DNS changes. This helps minimise disruption, but DNS propagation, dynamic data and limitations at the previous provider mean uninterrupted service cannot be guaranteed in every case.
Can you migrate WordPress and WooCommerce?
Yes. WordPress and WooCommerce migrations can include files, databases, media, plugins, themes and compatible configuration. Ecommerce sites may need a brief maintenance window for the final order and customer-data sync.
Can you migrate my email accounts?
Compatible mailboxes and messages can usually be migrated when the current provider supports IMAP or suitable account-level access.
Do you support cPanel migrations?
Yes. Full cPanel account backups often provide the most complete migration path for websites, databases, email, DNS records and account settings.
Can you migrate from another control panel?
Plesk, DirectAdmin, managed WordPress platforms and custom environments can often be migrated, although some settings may need to be recreated manually.
How long does a hosting migration take?
Smaller websites may be migrated within one working day after access is received. Large websites, ecommerce stores, email archives and complex servers can take longer.
What access details are required?
We may need control-panel access, SFTP or FTP credentials, SSH access, database details, WordPress administrator access, email access and permission to review DNS settings.
Can you migrate a VPS or dedicated server?
Yes. VPS and dedicated-server migrations are assessed individually based on the operating system, software stack, services, storage and security configuration.
