Website migration,done for you, free.
Changing host should not cost you a weekend or a night's sleep. Our engineers move your website and email, and your live site is not touched until you have checked the copy.
- No downtimeBoth hosts answer during the switch.
- No lost emailA final sync on the night.
- No chargeIncluded in every plan.
Three steps, one of them yours
First, tell us where your site lives now.
Open a migration ticket with your current login. That is all we need from you. Nothing changes on your live site.
Then we copy everything and you check it.
Files, databases and mailboxes are copied to Zension. You get a private preview address to click through at your own pace.
Finally we switch over at a quiet hour.
When you approve, we move the domain across late at night, watch the first visits arrive, and keep your old host as a fallback for a week.
Step 1 of 3
What comes across
Everything your site and mail need to behave exactly as they did, on better servers.
| Website files | Every file, with permissions and ownership intact. |
|---|---|
| Databases | Copied, imported and checked against the originals. |
| Email accounts | Mailboxes, folders, forwarders and passwords where the old host allows. |
| DNS records | Recreated exactly, including the ones nobody remembers adding. |
| SSL certificates | New certificates issued before the switch, so there is no warning page. |
| Scheduled jobs | Cron jobs and scheduled tasks carried over and tested. |
Migration questions
Will my site go offline during the move?
No. Your old host keeps serving the site until the copy on Zension has been checked and approved by you. The switch itself is a DNS change, and both hosts answer correctly while it spreads.
Will we lose any email?
No. We copy mailboxes ahead of time, then run a final sync on the night of the switch to pick up anything that arrived in between. Mail sent during the changeover is delivered to one host or the other, never lost.
How long does it take?
A typical company site with a dozen mailboxes is copied and ready for you to check within two working days. The switch is then scheduled for whichever night suits you.
What do you need from me?
A login to your current hosting control panel, or FTP and database details if there is no panel, and access to wherever your domain is managed. If you do not know where that is, we will help you find out.
My current host does not use cPanel. Does that matter?
No. We move sites from Plesk, DirectAdmin, custom panels and bare servers. It is a little more manual, and it is still included.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Migration by our engineers is included in every hosting, WordPress, email and server plan.
What if something looks wrong afterwards?
Tell us and we fix it. Your old hosting should stay active for a week after the switch, so there is always a working copy to compare against or fall back to.
