What is Lift and Shift?

Lift and shift is a process in which we will be performing to some of our shared platforms. Basically, this method would mean you will keep the same IP address and won’t have to make any changes to your DNS, tools or software. We will move the servers physically from one data center to another.

Would there be any downtime?

Yes. The downtime on your server will be approximately 12 hours. During that time, you and your customers will be unable to access your website or emails.

Will I be notified prior to the migration?

Yes, we'll send you two notifications - a 30 days notice and a notification 7 days ahead of the migration, confirming your specific date.

Can I choose a certain timestamp for this process to take place?

No. We'll be the ones that are deciding when a certain server should be moved.

Can I re-schedule the process?

No.

Is it possible to cancel this process?

No.

Should I perform any changes once the process is complete?

No action should be taken from your end, as you'll be staying on the same server (same IP address). No DNS changes will be required afterwards.

Do I have any other options?

Yes. You can choose to purchase a new hosting package from us and migrate your current package there.

Additionally, all of our new hosting packages come with free basic migration bundles. This means that our Migration department will perform the migration for you, for a certain amount of websites (depending on the number of bundles).
