Cloud Migration (AWS, Azure & Google Cloud)
Cloud Migration to AWS, Azure or Google Cloud — Planned, Tested, Without Downtime
Move websites, applications and databases from shared hosting, a VPS or another cloud to AWS, Azure or Google Cloud — with a rehearsed cutover and a bill you understand.
The Same Application, on Better Ground
Moving to the cloud is easy to start and easy to get wrong. Done well, you get reliability, room to grow and pay-for-what-you-use pricing. Done badly, you get the same server you had before at three times the price, plus a weekend of downtime nobody planned for.
We migrate websites, applications and databases to AWS, Azure and Google Cloud the careful way: assess what you have, design the target with cost in mind, build it alongside the old environment, rehearse the cutover on a copy of your data, then switch with DNS and a rollback plan. Afterwards we tune the bill.
What’s Included
How a Cloud Migration Runs
Assessment & Plan
Inventory of applications, databases, cron jobs, integrations and DNS; risks and dependencies mapped; a migration plan with a cost forecast.
Target Architecture
Compute, managed databases, storage, CDN, backups and networking chosen for your load — EC2 or ECS, App Service or AKS, Compute Engine or Cloud Run.
Database Migration
MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and MongoDB moved to managed services with replication or dump-and-sync so the final switch takes minutes.
Rehearsed Cutover
A full dry run on real data, low-TTL DNS, and a written rollback so go-live is a routine step rather than a leap.
Security & Access
IAM roles, private networking, encrypted storage, secrets management and firewall rules set up as part of the move, not afterwards.
Cost Optimisation
Right-sized instances, reserved or savings plans, storage tiers and budget alerts so the cloud bill matches what was forecast.
Benefits
Why Migrate With Us
- No downtime for customers: the new environment is proven before the old one is switched off.
- A cost forecast before you commit, and a review after the first month against it.
- We understand the applications, not just the infrastructure — PHP, Node, Python, Java and .NET workloads migrated regularly.
- Infrastructure defined in code, so the environment can be rebuilt or duplicated on demand.
- Ongoing management available, or a clean handover to your own team.

FAQ
Cloud Migration (AWS, Azure & Google Cloud) FAQs
Which cloud should we choose?
For most web applications any of the three works well. Azure suits Microsoft-centric organisations, Google Cloud has strong data and Kubernetes tooling, and AWS has the broadest service range. Existing credits, your team’s skills and where your other systems live usually decide it. We are not tied to any of them.
Will there be downtime during the migration?
For websites and most applications, no. We build the new environment in parallel, sync the data, rehearse, and switch DNS with a short TTL. A brief read-only window is sometimes needed for busy databases, agreed with you in advance.
Will the cloud be cheaper than our current hosting?
Not always, and we will tell you if it is not. A single small site is often cheaper on a good VPS. The cloud pays off when you need reliability, scaling, managed databases or several environments. The forecast we produce shows the numbers before you decide.
Can you migrate from one cloud to another?
Yes. Cloud-to-cloud moves follow the same process, and infrastructure-as-code makes them considerably easier the second time.

Cloud Migration Checklist: Moving to AWS, Azure or Google Cloud Without Downtime
The migrations that go wrong skip the same steps every time. Here is the checklist we use to move websites, applications and databases to the cloud with a rehearsed cutover and a predictable bill.
Lift-and-Shift or Re-Platform? Choosing How to Move a Web Application to the Cloud
You can move a web application to the cloud as it is, or change how it is hosted on the way. Each is right in different situations. Here is how we decide, component by component, with a video learning platform as the worked example.
Moving a Retailer's Server Room to Azure: What Changes on Monday Morning
For a small or mid-sized retailer, moving from a server room to Azure is less about technology than about what changes for the business afterwards: who looks after backups, how shops and head office reach their systems, what the monthly bill looks like and what still needs a person.
