White-glove cloud migration with no additional cost

Whether you are leaving a hyperscaler, a legacy virtualization platform, or your own hardware, we plan and run the move with clear checkpoints and minimal downtime. Fixed pricing after, no surprises.

Backed by InMotion Hosting, 25+ years of infrastructure operations. Senior engineers run the move.

Why teams move

Most migrations start with the same four frustrations

Bill shock and metered surprises

Variable invoices that spike exactly when traffic does. One fixed monthly number instead.

Egress fees

Charges every time data moves. A fixed egress allowance changes the math for data-heavy workloads.

Ticket-queue support

No direct line to an engineer who knows your environment. Direct access to senior engineers instead.

VMware and licensing disruption

Rising licensing costs pushing teams off legacy virtualization.

Migrate from anywhere

Built to move you from wherever you are today

Hyperscalers

AWS, Azure, and GCP

VMware

Modernize vSphere workloads

Virtuozzo

Predictable OpenStack

On-premise

Offload aging hardware

Our migration process

Four steps, minimal downtime, clear checkpoints

1

Assess

  • Infrastructure inventory and dependency mapping
  • Risk assessment and mitigation planning
  • Cost comparison analysis
  • Timeline and resource estimation
2

Plan

  • Target architecture design
  • Migration sequence and phasing
  • Rollback and disaster recovery procedures
  • Testing and validation checkpoints
3

Migrate

  • Data and workload migration
  • Application testing and validation
  • Network and DNS cutover
  • Parallel running period if needed
4

Validate

  • Performance benchmarking
  • Monitoring and alerting setup
  • Security validation
  • Documentation and runbook handover

Who does what

A migration you are not running alone

We handle

  • Full infrastructure provisioning (VMs, networking, storage, monitoring)
  • OS setup, cPanel/CloudLinux install, licensing
  • Data pre-sync + DNS cutover + rDNS
  • Pre-cutover site parity verification
  • 24–72 hour post-migration monitoring
  • Documentation and runbook handover

You handle or decide

  • Choosing the maintenance window
  • Communicating with your end customers
  • Providing source-server and DNS access
  • Application-level testing post-cutover
  • Final go/no-go sign-off

After the move

Once you are live, we keep you running

The migration is the start of the relationship, not the end. After cutover, senior engineers run monitoring, patching, and incident response as your dedicated infrastructure team.
