A Website Migration Checklist

Prepare files, DNS, email, and testing before moving a site.

Website planning illustration

Make a complete backup and list the site’s files, database, domain settings, and email services. Confirm that the destination supports the site’s platform and requirements.

Test the migrated site before changing DNS. After the switch, check pages, forms, certificates, and email, and keep the previous copy until the new setup is stable.
