Legacy Rescue & Migration

The developer stopped answering, the hosting is in their name, and nobody has the password. This is a more common brief than anyone admits.

Built with proven, modern technology

What is included

Everything you need. Nothing you do not.

Work out what exists

Files, database, DNS, mailboxes and certificates. Usually spread across more accounts than anyone remembers.

Backup before anything

Complete and tested. Nothing is changed until there is a way back.

Migrate without downtime

New host prepared and verified before DNS moves, so visitors never see a gap.

Email moved too

The part most migrations forget, and the one that causes the loudest complaints.

Built properly

Made to last. Not just launched.

Businesses come to us in three states: the site broke and nobody knows why, the person who built it has moved on and taken the access with them, or the hosting has to be left and nobody is confident the move will survive it.

Work out what exists

Files, database, DNS, mailboxes and certificates. Usually spread across more accounts than anyone remembers.

Access into your name

Domain, hosting and analytics registered to you, so this cannot happen a second time.

Redirects preserved

Old URLs mapped so the rankings you already have survive the move.

Questions

Legacy Rescue & Migration — FAQ

The developer is not responding and I have no passwords. Is it recoverable?
Usually. Domain ownership can be recovered through the registrar with proof, and a site can often be rebuilt from what is publicly served plus whatever backups the host holds.
Will my site go down during the move?
It should not. We prepare and verify the new host fully before DNS is changed, so the switch is the last step rather than the first.
Can you rescue a site that is already broken?
Often yes. We start read-only, work out what failed and what remains, and tell you honestly if a rebuild is cheaper than a repair.
