Website Migration Services in India (2026)

List what the site depends on: the CMS and its plugins, the PHP or Node version, cron jobs, scheduled exports, payment gateway allowlists, SSL certificates, and the mailboxes that share the domain.

The inventory is also where you find the forgotten subdomain that runs a booking tool, which nobody remembers until it stops resolving.

Business email often shares the domain being moved. MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records have to be recreated at the new DNS provider before the nameservers change, or mail stops and enquiries vanish silently.

We copy the records, verify them with a test message in both directions, and only then change the nameservers. If mail is staying with the old provider, the records still need to survive the move intact.

Lowering the TTL a day before the switch means the change propagates in minutes rather than hours. That single step is what allows a rollback to work on the same evening.

We switch during a quiet window, verify the site on the new host first through a temporary hostname, and keep the old environment running until the new one has been stable for a week.

Every URL that exists today and will not exist tomorrow needs a 301 to its closest equivalent. That includes old blog paths, paginated pages, product URLs and the www/non-www variant.

We crawl the current site, build the map, apply it on the new host, and check that the sitemap and canonicals point at the final domain rather than the temporary one.

An ecommerce migration has three extra hazards: orders placed during the switch, customer sessions that do not survive a domain change, and integrations with gateways and logistics providers that use allowlisted IPs or domains.

Pausing checkout for a few minutes is usually safer than pretending the move is invisible. We schedule it, announce it, and verify a test order end to end afterwards.

A new host needs a certificate before traffic arrives, and it must cover the exact hostname, including the www variant. Mixed-content warnings after a move usually come from assets referenced with the old absolute URL.

Watch error logs, search console coverage, form submissions and mail delivery. Most post-migration problems show up there within days, and they are cheap to fix while the old environment is still available.

If the site is on an abandoned CMS, the theme is unmaintained and the content model needs changing, moving it preserves the problem. We say so before quoting, because a migration should not be sold as a rescue.

Send the current host, the platform and version, whether email shares the domain, the number of pages and products, and where the domain is registered. Those five answers decide the plan and the cutover window.
