Write down the requirements that can block a move
Check your application’s supported PHP or runtime version, database engine, scheduled jobs, outbound email needs and required extensions. Record the size of files, mailboxes and databases separately. These details are more useful than choosing solely by an “unlimited” label.
Compare the final checkout, not a promotional headline
Record the billing period, amount due now, renewal terms and optional extras. Domain registration, licenses, backups or management may be separate. Do not assume that two similarly priced plans cover the same work.
Prepare a migration acceptance checklist
- Restore the site on the target service and test it before changing DNS.
- Verify forms, login, payments and transactional email without creating unwanted live transactions.
- Keep the old hosting available during the transition.
- Confirm that the preferred hostname and TLS certificate work.
- Monitor errors after the switch and retain a rollback path.
Clarify responsibilities in writing
Ask whether assistance covers files, databases, email or application troubleshooting. Confirm backup retention and the route for urgent support. “Managed” describes a scope of service, not a universal promise that every plugin or custom application is supported.
Apply the checklist to the options
Compare current web hosting plans and read the migration assistance information. If the site already runs reliably, identify the specific limitation a new plan should solve before moving it.
