ELMNTSwitching Providers · Controlled migration
Move from an agency, host, website builder, or fragmented software stack through a verified plan for ownership, data, domains, testing, cutover, and the systems that should remain.
Before / after
Same site, same customers, same URLs. What changes is who answers the phone when something breaks — and how much of the operations work lands on you.
- You file a ticket and wait days for a first reply
- Nobody can tell you why the site got slow
- Updates mean logging into a builder and hoping
- SSL, backups and DNS are four separate dashboards
- The renewal invoice arrives with no explanation
- One team that answers, with response times written into your plan
- Uptime monitoring and daily automated backups running by default
- Content updates you request from your ELMNT client dashboard
- SSL re-issued and auto-renewed — hosting, DNS and email in one place
- A flat monthly plan you can read on one line
What we take off your plate
The full copy
Pages, media, databases and redirects are copied onto ELMNT infrastructure and checked against your live site before anything changes.
SSL & security
Your certificate is prepared on our side and set to auto-renew, with certificate validation included in the cutover checklist.
DNS & email cutover
We handle the DNS and email cutover with you, at a time you pick — not at 4pm on a Friday.
The goodbye email
We can prepare the cancellation notice for your old provider once the new deployment is verified.
The migration, in order
You get the audit
Tell us where the site lives and what hurts. We review the current setup, confirm the response timing, then document what moves cleanly and anything that needs a decision.
We build the copy
Your site is rebuilt on ELMNT infrastructure alongside the live one. Nothing about your current host changes while this happens — it keeps serving visitors exactly as it does today.
You review it
You get a private link to the staged copy. Click through it, check forms, check the pages that matter to your business. We fix what you flag before anything is pointed at it.
We cut the DNS over
At a time you choose, DNS is repointed and SSL is re-issued. Visitors keep landing on a working site throughout — the old host answers until the new one does.
We run it from here
Monitoring, backups and updates run on our side, and your old provider gets the cancellation notice from us. You get a client dashboard to request changes from.
The three questions everyone asks
Will my site go down?
No. The copy is built and tested on our infrastructure while your current host keeps serving traffic. DNS only moves once you have signed off on the staged version, at a time you pick.
What happens to my content and email?
Pages, media, databases and redirects come across with the site. SSL is re-issued and auto-renews on our side, and we run the DNS and email cutover with you rather than leaving you a checklist.
What does the move itself cost?
The migration is free. You pay the monthly hosting plan you choose — plans start at $150/mo — and we send the cancellation notice to your old provider so you are not paying twice.
Start here
Five short questions about your current setup. No access, no credentials, no commitment. We confirm the response timing, then return a written audit.
Sign in to request your audit
Audits are attached to an ELMNT account so we can follow up reliably and keep your request, the written audit and the migration itself in one place. It takes a minute.
Still deciding
If your current renewal is coming up, send the URL over first. The audit is free and tells you what a move would actually involve — including when staying put is the right answer.
