Migrating a website
To fully take over a website, we need to move it to Angry Creative’s hosting. This process, which involves transferring the site and associated services from one infrastructure to another, is called “migration.”
How does migration fit in?
The final part of a takeover
Once standardisation is complete, we unlock the possibility of migration.
Further development
Once we’ve completed a takeover, we’re ready to carry out further development on your website!
The migration process
Migrations are complex and crucial to execute properly. While each migration is unique, here is an overview of the typical process, so you can understand what’s involved. Not all migrations require this exact approach, but this serves as our standard starting point.
Preparation
- Conduct an audit
- Finalize standardisation
- Arrange access to critical systems
- Create a test plan
- Review or create documentation around technical architecture and DevOps
- Develop a communication plan for both internal and external users
Test Migration
- Perform a test migration
- Execute the test plan and review any issues
- Assess the production migration plan
Production Migration
- Freeze all content
- Implement the communication plan
- Execute the migration
- Test with virtual DNS
- Update DNS and implement SSL
Post-Migration Testing
- Update documentation
