What to Ask a Web Host Before Moving Your Website
A website move goes more smoothly when you know who controls the domain, which files will move and how the team can recover if something goes wrong.
Check what the provider manages
Ask about software updates, support, backups and staging. Confirm what the provider will migrate and what your team must prepare. Check limits that could affect a shop or another busy website.
Plan a rehearsal and the switch
Test the site on the new host before changing DNS. Check pages, forms and any checkout. Identify the records that control web and email traffic and agree who will update them.
Document how to recover
Keep a usable backup and agree which checks would trigger a rollback. Our Warrington web design team can help plan the move.
