What needs to move
Check leaving SiteGround by inventorying the actual site and service dependencies and rebuilding equivalent DNS, mail, database, application, caching, cron, TLS, and backup responsibilities at the destination.

What does your project need?
Test the destination
Copy the site or application to the new host and test it privately. Check logins, forms, database writes, scheduled jobs, email and any external integrations.
Copy the final changes
Choose when to stop or synchronize new writes. Include orders, uploads and mail that arrived after the first copy. Avoid letting both systems accept independent changes.
Switch traffic and retain rollback
Save the old DNS and routing settings. Switch traffic after the final tests, monitor the result and keep the old service until the agreed rollback period has passed.
Planning
Access, backups and handover
Confirm the current product specifications and service responsibilities. Record who can approve a change and how to recover the service if it goes wrong.
