Website Migration Checklist

• Inventory every service: web, mail, DNS, databases, cron and DNS records.
• Take a full backup and verify it restores on a test host.
• Lower DNS TTLs to 300s at least 24h before the move.
• Provision the new host and match PHP/Node/Python versions.
• Copy files, databases and mailboxes; check permissions and ownership.
• Test the site on the new host using a hosts-file override.
• Re-point DNS records and confirm propagation.
• Issue new TLS certificates and confirm HTTPS on all hostnames.
• Verify email sending/receiving, SPF, DKIM and DMARC.
• Watch logs and error rates for 48h, then raise TTLs back.
