Migration help
Terms agreed individually
We move your site. Stress-free.
Changing hosting doesn't have to mean a sleepless night. We move your files, databases and email, check that everything works, and only then switch the domain.
How it works
4 steps
Four steps to a new server.
-
01
Request
You give us your site address and access to your current hosting. We take care of the rest.
-
02
Copy and transfer
We copy your files, databases and mailboxes to rhoster servers. Your site keeps running at your current provider the whole time.
-
03
Testing
We check the site on a temporary address: logins, forms, cart, payments. You can look at it too before the switch.
-
04
Switch-over
We change the DNS at the agreed time, enable SSL and watch over the first hours after launch.

Questions
FAQ
Before you ask.
How much does migration cost?
We agree the scope and cost of each migration individually - they depend on the size of the site and the number of databases and mailboxes. You get a quote before we start.
How long does it take?
Usually 1–2 working days from receiving access. Large shops and big mailboxes may take longer - we agree the timing before we start.
Will my site go down?
No. Until the domain is switched, your site keeps running at your current provider. We plan the switch itself for an agreed time, ideally outside your peak hours.
What about my email?
We move your mailboxes with everything in them - including the archive of older messages and folders. After the switch you only need to update the settings in your email app - we show you how step by step in email setup.
What do I need to prepare?
Access to your current hosting (control panel, FTP or SSH), access to your domain panel, and a list of the email mailboxes to be moved.
Can you clean up old files during the move?
Yes, if you want. We go through archived sites, backups and files that take up space with you, and delete only what you approve. Clean-up is billed as technical support - we will give you the time needed after the review.
What if something goes wrong?
We change nothing on your current site until the switch, so there is always something to go back to. Once you are live on rhoster, daily backups with 30 days of history are already running.
