Approaches to website migration
Migrations come in all shapes and sizes. At Nexcess, we provide premium-quality lift and shift migrations. But, we are happy to help with refactoring and replatforming.
Automated
Most common among cheap hosting providersMigration in its most basic form. A computer program copies and pastes your content, but may damage settings and file systems.
Lift and shift
Also known as “re-hosting,” a lift and shift migration transfers your current site data without any changes. Same URLs, no code updates.
Replatforming
Also known as “lift, tinker and shift,” replatforming upgrades your application without changing your architecture
Refactoring
Refactoring includes significant code and application updates. It is used when a website has grown beyond its backend.

Worked with Nexcess to migrate from shared to cloud. I was expecting downtime and issues. Not only did they migrate the site seamlessly, but they migrated all my dns settings, many of which were custom. Thanks Nexcess for making the migration seamless! Every step, the team knew what they were doing.
Russell was the lead for our migration. He then took it upon himself to comb our site to make sure that when we were ready to re-direct our URL, that our site would be fully operational once it went live. Thanks to Russel's commitment and understanding that we could potentially lose our site and livelihood, he had our site completely ready to go live in a matter of days
I needed more storage space and speed. The migration appeared to go smoothly, but after completing the transfer of the database, I noticed some abnormalities in the way some of the products were being displayed. So I turned it over to the technicians at Nexcess who, in turn, escalated the problem solving to a team of senior technicians. They were able to identify the problem within about a half-day. and fixed it in another few hours.
