What is this, in plain English?

A one-off project to move your existing site to a new host or a new platform with its content, addresses and redirects intact. The same site, running somewhere else.

This changes where and how your site runs, not how it looks. If the design is the problem, the Website Redesign is the right product; if it is servers and applications rather than a website, that is Cloud Migration. Here the deliverable is a site that comes through the move with its URLs and content unchanged.

The problem it solves

Your host has put its prices up, gone quiet or become slow, and the person who originally set the site up is long gone, so nobody dares touch it.

If that does not describe you, this is probably the wrong product. Tell us and we will point you at a better fit rather than sell you the nearest one.

What you get

The concrete things that exist at the end and that you own.

5 deliverables

  • Your site running on the new host or platform
  • A complete old-to-new address map with the redirects in place
  • A broken-link and missing-page report, signed off at zero
  • A written record of what moved and what was deliberately left behind
  • Two weeks of post-move monitoring

What's included

The work covered by the figure in the buy box, at no extra cost.

  • Crawl and inventory of the existing site
  • Migration of up to fifty pages plus their assets
  • URL preservation and 301 redirect mapping
  • A staging environment for your approval
  • DNS and SSL certificate setup on the destination
  • Post-move link, form and indexing verification
  • Two weeks of monitoring

What does it do?

Everything listed here is delivered as part of this product. Nothing on this list is aspirational.

  • A crawl and inventory of every page, file, form and integration on the current site
  • A full map from old addresses to new
  • 301 redirects for anything whose address has to change
  • Migration of content, images and downloadable files
  • A staged copy you approve before anything is switched
  • DNS cutover planned for a low-traffic window
  • Post-move checks on broken links, missing pages, forms, sitemap and indexing

How it works

The delivery sequence from order to handover.

  1. 1

    Inventory

    We crawl the current site and list every page, asset and form, so nothing is found missing after the move.

  2. 2

    Map the addresses

    Each old address is mapped to its destination, and anything that must change gets a redirect.

  3. 3

    Rebuild on the destination

    Content and files moved across, with the existing look matched on the new platform.

  4. 4

    Verify on staging

    You compare the copy against the live site page by page before we touch DNS.

  5. 5

    Cut over

    DNS switched in an agreed window, with the old environment left running as a fallback.

  6. 6

    Monitor

    Two weeks of checks on errors, redirects and indexing after the move.

Delivery & fulfilment

Stream Edge Solutions ships nothing. Every package on this site is carried out and handed over remotely — this is exactly what happens after you order.

REMOTE SERVICEHow this is delivered
  1. 1We confirm requirementsWe read what you sent with the order, come back in writing with anything missing, and agree the scope before any chargeable work starts.
  2. 2We build and configure remotelySetup, configuration and testing are done by our team over a remote connection — on your systems or on ours, whichever the package specifies.
  3. 3We hand it overYou receive the working setup, the credentials, the documentation and a walkthrough. Everything built for you is yours at handover.

Carried out remotely by our team. Nothing is posted and no one visits. Typical turnaround: 2–4 weeks, depending on access to the current site.

Delivery method

Expected delivery time
2–4 weeks, depending on access to the current site
Measured from the point everything under “what we need from you” is with us — not from the moment you pay.

Full detail of how work is handed over, what happens if requirements are outstanding and how order records are kept is in the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

What we need from you

Nothing starts until these are in place, and the turnaround above is measured from that point — not from the moment you pay.

  • Administrative access to the current site, its hosting and its domain registrar
  • Search Console and analytics access, so the move can be verified
  • A decision on the destination host or platform, or authority for us to recommend one
  • An agreed window for the DNS switch

Who this is for

  • Businesses leaving a slow or unreliable host
  • Anyone whose previous developer has become uncontactable
  • Organisations consolidating several sites onto one account
  • Businesses moving from one platform to another
  • Anyone taking control of a site somebody else registered

Business needs this addresses: Build an online presence, Improve IT infrastructure

What's not included

Just as plainly as the list above: the things this package is not.

  • Design changes; the site looks as it did before (see the Website Redesign)
  • Rebuilding functionality the destination platform cannot support, which we identify before you commit
  • Server and application infrastructure moves (see Cloud Migration) and database record migrations (see the Data Migration Service)
  • Recovering content that exists only on a host you can no longer access
  • Any guarantee about search rankings after the move
  • Hosting, domain and platform fees, paid by you to the provider

Anything outside the scope above is quoted separately, in writing, before it is carried out. Nothing is added to your bill without your agreement.

FAQs

Will my search rankings survive the move?

The redirect map exists to carry them across and it is the most important part of this job. Some fluctuation in the first week or two after any migration is normal and is outside our control, because search engines recrawl on their own schedule. We monitor and fix what we can influence. Nobody can promise that rankings are preserved, and we will not.

What if the old host will not release the site?

It happens. Where administrative access cannot be obtained we can often rebuild from a crawl of the public pages, but anything not publicly visible, such as form configurations, unpublished drafts and original image files, may be unrecoverable. We tell you what is missing before you commit, and if too much is missing we will say the job is not worth doing.

Is there downtime?

The new site is built and approved before anything is switched, so the move itself is a DNS change made in a window you choose. DNS updates propagate over a few hours, during which some visitors reach the old copy and some the new. That is why the old environment stays running until propagation finishes.

Refund & cancellation

What happens if you change your mind, and what happens to money already paid.

Cooling-off before work starts
You have 7 days after ordering to cancel while work has not yet begun. Up to 25% may be retained to cover scoping and scheduling already carried out.
Work already done
Once delivery has started, refunds are assessed against the work completed and the deliverables already handed over — the list under “what you get” above is what that assessment is made against. Approved refunds are processed within 14 days.
If we cannot deliver what is described here
You are refunded. The scope on this page is the scope we are held to, which is exactly why the exclusions above are stated before you buy rather than after.

The full terms, item type by item type, are in the Refund & Cancellation Policy. How the work reaches you is covered by the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.
