Website Migration Services for Hosting, WordPress, Email and DNS

Move your website to Lone Star Hosting with a practical migration plan for files, databases, WordPress, email accounts, DNS records, SSL, and launch testing.

Files and Databases

Move website files, databases, media uploads, CMS folders, and configuration details from your old hosting environment to your new hosting plan.

WordPress Migration

Bring over your WordPress website, theme, plugins, uploads, database, admin access, and SSL setup so the new site is ready to test before launch.

DNS and Launch

Plan DNS changes, nameservers, SSL, email records, redirects, and final testing so the switch is smoother and downtime risk is lower.

A Clear Migration Process

A hosting migration is more than copying a folder. The safest moves account for files, databases, email, DNS, SSL, contact forms, redirects, backups, and post-launch testing.

Lone Star Hosting helps small businesses move away from slow, unreliable, unsupported, or overpriced hosting providers. We start by identifying what needs to move, which control panel or CMS is involved, what credentials are available, and whether email is hosted with the same provider. From there, we build a practical migration path that reduces avoidable surprises.

For WordPress websites, the migration often includes a database export, file transfer, configuration review, plugin check, SSL verification, and a final review after DNS updates. For static or custom sites, the focus is usually files, paths, PHP compatibility, contact forms, and DNS records. Email migrations require extra care because mailbox data, MX records, SPF, DKIM, and timing can affect deliverability.

Migration Checklist

  • Pre-migration backup: Preserve a copy before changing anything.
  • Access review: Confirm cPanel, FTP/SFTP, CMS, registrar, and DNS access.
  • Website transfer: Move files, database, uploads, and configuration.
  • Email review: Identify mailboxes, MX records, SPF, DKIM, and forwarding needs.
  • Testing: Check pages, forms, SSL, redirects, and admin access before launch.
  • DNS launch: Update nameservers or records and monitor the changeover.

Website Migration FAQs

Can you migrate my WordPress website?

Yes. WordPress migrations can include files, uploads, database, plugins, theme files, SSL checks, and post-migration testing.

Will my website go offline during migration?

The goal is to reduce downtime with planning, backups, testing, and DNS timing. Exact downtime depends on the old host, DNS setup, and site complexity.

Can email be migrated too?

Email can be part of the migration plan when the right access is available. Mailbox size, provider limits, DNS records, and delivery settings affect the process.

Do I need hosting before requesting migration?

Usually yes. You need a destination hosting plan before files, databases, and email can be moved into the new environment.
