Website Migration & Transfer Services
Website migration covers moving a site between hosting providers, content management systems, or domains, and it is easy to get wrong in ways that cost you search rankings or uptime. FreeSoftwareX Digital handles these moves the same careful way we would move one of our own live properties.
We plan the migration before touching anything in production — mapping out the database, files, DNS records, and any redirects needed so old URLs still resolve correctly afterward. Depending on the move, that might mean a straightforward host-to-host transfer, a platform change, or a domain change with a full 301 redirect plan to protect existing search rankings as much as possible.
Pre-Migration Audit
We map your current files, database, DNS records, and existing URLs before starting, so nothing gets missed in the move.
Zero-Downtime Cutover Planning
DNS and server changes staged and timed to minimize the window where your site could be unreachable.
Redirect Mapping
Old URLs mapped to their new equivalents with proper 301 redirects, protecting existing search visibility during a platform or domain change.
Post-Migration Verification
We check forms, email routing, SSL, and site functionality after the move to confirm everything actually works on the new setup.
How it Works
Audit & Plan
We review your current hosting, platform, and DNS setup and build a migration plan specific to your situation.

Migrate
We move files, databases, and configuration to the new environment, setting up redirects and testing before the public cutover.
Verify & Support
We verify the live site post-migration and stay available to fix anything that surfaces in the days after the switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
We plan cutovers to minimize downtime, often to a few minutes during DNS propagation, but we cannot honestly promise zero downtime on every migration — some platform changes require a short maintenance window, which we will tell you about in advance.
A well-planned migration with correct 301 redirects preserves most existing ranking signal, but some fluctuation during and after a domain or platform change is normal and not something any provider can promise away entirely.
It depends on site size, the complexity of the current setup, and whether it is a same-platform move or a full platform change. We will scope a timeline after reviewing your current site.
It depends on the size of the site and complexity of the move. Contact us for a quote based on your current hosting and platform.
Typically your current hosting/CMS login, domain registrar or DNS access, and details of any third-party integrations like email, analytics, and forms — we'll confirm the exact list once we understand your setup.
We account for email routing as part of the DNS and cutover plan so email doesn't break during the move, though full mailbox migration to a new provider is a separate conversation if that's also part of your move.
