Transfer to Us

Move your website or server without the risk

Migration is more than copying files. Our specialists run a secure, managed, multi-stage workflow — assessment, backups, transfer, security review and validation — so your site, email and data arrive intact. Every migration is reviewed and executed by a real person.

The migration journey

Eight stages, handled in order

Every transfer follows the same disciplined path — scaled to the size and complexity of your setup.

  1. Assessment

    We map your current server, sites, databases, email and DNS so nothing is missed before anything moves.

  2. Full backup

    A complete backup is captured first — your migration always has a safe point to return to.

  3. Secure transfer

    Files, databases and configuration are moved under access-controlled handling — reviewed, not blindly automated.

  4. Malware & security scan

    A layered review for malware, trojans, viruses and suspicious files, with findings reported back to you.

  5. Compatibility checks

    PHP, database, runtime, extensions and application requirements are verified on the new environment.

  6. DNS, email & database verification

    DNS records, mailboxes and databases are validated to keep email flowing and avoid downtime.

  7. Firewall & hardening

    Sensible firewall configuration and hardening of the new environment — or clear recommendations.

  8. Final validation

    Post-migration testing and a support review confirm everything works before we call it done.

Why it takes care

It is not just copying files

A real migration moves your data and proves it still works — with security and continuity checks at every step. Here is what is really going on behind the scenes.

Data integrity

Large sites and databases must move completely and consistently — a half-copied database breaks a site.

Email continuity

Mailboxes and mail routing need careful cut-over so you do not lose incoming email during the move.

DNS & propagation

DNS changes take time to spread worldwide; we plan the switch so visitors are not dropped.

Security review

Existing sites can carry malware or backdoors. We review before they reach your new home.

Compatibility

A different PHP, database or runtime version can break an app — we check and adjust first.

Rollback planning

If something looks wrong, the backup and a rollback plan let us step back safely.

Because of all this, a migration can take anywhere from a few hours to several days — depending on data size, the number of websites, database complexity, email and DNS needs, your server type, compatibility issues, and anything found during the security review. We confirm an expected window with you before any work begins.

Specialized review paths

A multi-disciplinary workflow

Your migration runs through dedicated technical review paths — coordination, data, networking, security, infrastructure and quality — so each part gets the right attention.

Migration coordination

A clear owner drives your migration end to end and keeps you informed.

Backup & rollback

Full pre-migration backup and a documented path back if needed.

Data & database transfer

Files and databases moved with integrity checks, not guesswork.

DNS, domain & email

DNS, domain and mailbox handling to protect uptime and email.

Malware & security review

Layered scanning for malware, trojans and suspicious files.

Server environment tuning

The new environment is prepared and tuned for your workload.

Final QA & support validation

A final quality pass and support sign-off before completion.

Credentials, handled safely

Security & access handling

Access to your systems is handled under controlled internal procedures, with security designed in — not bolted on.

  • Any credentials you provide are encrypted at rest.
  • Staff access to a stored credential is permission-gated and audited — every reveal is logged.
  • We never send credentials by email, and they are not shown again after you submit them.
  • Please use temporary or limited-access credentials where possible.
  • Rotate your passwords once the migration is complete.

FAQ

Common questions

Anywhere from a few hours to several days. It depends on the size of your data, the type of server, how complex the applications are, your email and DNS requirements, and anything we find during the security review. We confirm an expected window with you before work begins.

Usually yes — to move your site we need access to the source (and destination, for external transfers). Please provide temporary or limited-access credentials where possible, and rotate them once the migration is complete.

Any credentials you submit are encrypted at rest. They are handled under access-controlled procedures, every reveal by staff is permission-gated and audited, and we never send credentials by email or display them back to you after submission.

Yes. Part of the workflow is a layered review for malware, trojans, viruses and suspicious files. Where we find issues we report them and can clean them up as an add-on — but we do not guarantee that every possible issue is detected or removed without a dedicated review.

A migration assessment when you move to YallowHost is free — we review your current setup and recommend a best-fit plan at no charge. The hosting plan itself is purchased separately.

Never before you approve. For transfers to another provider we prepare an estimate first; the final price is always confirmed by our support team before any work starts.

Yes — email accounts, databases, DNS records and application data can all be migrated. Email and DNS in particular need careful handling to avoid downtime, so they are reviewed as part of the plan.

We run post-migration testing and a support review to confirm your site, email and services are working as expected. We also recommend rotating any credentials you shared with us.
