My Step-by-Step Fix Workflow
A transparent and secure process to get your issues resolved quickly.
Pre-Migration Backup
I download complete zip copies of your website files and dump active SQL database structures before making any modifications.
Target Environment Setup
I configure the new server host (setting up directory structures, PHP versions, databases, and temporary domains for testing).
Data Sync & Test
I copy files over, import the databases, and test the website using local host file redirects to verify functionality before changing DNS.
DNS Switchover
I modify nameservers or A records, triggering propagation. Because both servers are active, visitors experience zero downtime.
