Planning

Migration success depends on preparation quality.

Recommended workflow

  1. Inventory app dependencies, cron jobs, mail routes, and DNS records.
  2. Build destination VPS environment and security baseline.
  3. Prepare full backup + tested rollback workflow.
  4. Schedule cutover in low-traffic window.

Execution

Validate destination before switching traffic.

Recommended workflow

  1. Deploy app on VPS staging and run smoke tests.
  2. Lower TTL before cutover where possible.
  3. Switch DNS and monitor logs, response times, and errors.
  4. Keep source environment until stability is confirmed.
