Move to the cloud without taking your business offline
We move servers, applications, databases and websites from your office, another host or another cloud to our data centres or wherever suits you. A free assessment first, a tested switch-over with a rollback plan, and managed hosting afterwards if you want it.
cPanel websites move to Tremhost cPanel hosting for free.

The risky part of a migration is the switch-over
Most migrations go wrong at the edges: a forgotten dependency, data that changed during the copy, or no way back when something breaks. We plan for all three before anything moves.
Knowing what to move
Moving it yourself: Discovering a forgotten dependency halfway through the move
With Tremhost: A free assessment maps every server, application and dependency first
Moving the data
Moving it yourself: Copying data while the old system keeps changing it
With Tremhost: Copy first, then sync the final changes at switch-over
Downtime
Moving it yourself: A weekend offline while everything is moved
With Tremhost: A short switch-over in a window you agree, with systems live until then
If something goes wrong
Moving it yourself: No way back once the old system is gone
With Tremhost: A rollback plan, with the old system kept until you confirm the move
Afterwards
Moving it yourself: Left to run the new systems on your own
With Tremhost: Optional managed hosting from the team that moved you
How a migration works
Five steps, the first one free. Your systems keep running until the last one.
1. Assess
We map your servers, applications, databases and how they depend on each other, and what each one needs in its new home.
Free2. Plan
You get the plan: where everything goes, in what order, the switch-over window and how we roll back if we need to.
With you3. Move
We copy your data and applications to the new home while your current systems keep running.
Systems stay live4. Test
We test everything on the new home with you, before a single user is switched.
Before anyone moves5. Switch
We sync the last changes and switch your users over in a short, agreed window. Your old system stays available until you confirm the move.
Rollback readyWhat we move
From anywhere: your own servers, another hosting company or another cloud. All of it, or just part of it.
Data centre migration
Moving a server room or rented racks: servers, storage and the network between them.
Usually goes to: Dedicated servers and clusters
Hybrid cloud
Keeping some systems where they are and moving the rest, with the two connected.
Usually goes to: Planned with an expert
Cloud to cloud
From AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or another host to a new home, or between clouds.
Usually goes to: Our data centres or another cloud
Application migration
Moving an application and everything it depends on, as it is or modernised on the way.
Usually goes to: VPS, dedicated servers or Kubernetes
Database migration
Moving MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and more, with the final changes synced at switch-over.
Usually goes to: Managed databases
Mainframe migration
Moving workloads off mainframe systems onto modern servers.
Usually goes to: Planned with an expert

Do you need a migration project?
Small moves are simpler than you think. Start with the first line that fits.
- A few websites on cPanelFree cPanel-to-cPanel migration with our hosting
- One application on one serverA KVM VPS or dedicated server, and we help you move
- A database that must keep runningManaged databases, migration included
- Many servers, a data centre, another cloud or a mainframeA migration project: start with a free assessment
What a weekend offline costs, against a planned switch-over
Enter what an hour of your systems being down costs the business, and compare a move done all at once with a staged one. The starting values are only an example.
- Moved all at once
- $7,200
- Staged switch-over
- $300
- Downtime avoided
- $6,900
Cost = hours offline × cost of an hour. It leaves out the cost of a failed move with no way back, which a rollback plan exists to prevent.

Migration questions, answered straight
Still unsure? Ask for a free assessment or open a ticket.
What do you migrate?
Servers, applications, databases and websites: a server room, rented racks, another hosting company, another cloud or a mainframe. We move all or part of it, including hybrid setups where some systems stay where they are.
Where can you move us to?
Our five data centres in Johannesburg, New York, Miami, Limburg and Roubaix, or anywhere else: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or another provider. We recommend the home that suits each system.
Is the assessment really free?
Yes. We look at what you have and what it needs, and tell you the plan, timeline and price before you commit.
Will we have downtime?
Your systems stay live while we copy them. Users are switched in a short window you agree with us; how short depends on the system, and the assessment tells you.
What if something goes wrong?
Every migration has a rollback plan. Your old system stays available until you confirm the move, so we can switch back.
Do you manage the systems afterwards?
If you want us to. Managed hosting after the move is optional; we can also hand everything over to your team.
Do you move cPanel websites?
Yes, for free when they move from another cPanel server to Tremhost cPanel hosting.
How much does a migration cost?
It depends on what you move and where to. Ask for a free assessment and we will give you a fixed scope and a quote.
