Zero-downtime migration off legacy shared hosting
Moving a business-critical site and its order integrations onto managed edge hosting without interrupting trade.
The challenge
A distributor was running its public site and order portal on ageing shared hosting with no staging environment, unclear backups and repeated slowdowns during business hours. Any outage stopped orders.
What we did
- 01Full audit of the environment, dependencies, mail routing and integrations
- 02Replica environment built and validated in staging with real data
- 03DNS, certificates and redirect map prepared and tested before cut-over
- 04Cut-over run in a low-traffic window with rollback ready at every step
- 05Monitoring, tested backups and documented runbooks handed over
The outcome
The migration completed inside the planned window with no interruption to ordering, and the environment now has staging, monitoring and verified restores that it previously lacked.
