Website migration cutover order (files, email, DNS)

Reduce downtime when moving an existing site onto HostStack hosting.

Successful migrations sequence data → validation → DNS mail sensitivity:

Copy files & databases while production stays live.
Validate staged URLs (hosts file or temporary URLs).
Shift MX last when mail must remain uninterrupted — DNS TTL lowering beforehand reduces surprises.

HostStack migration engineers coordinate checkpoints — supply CMS admin access plus FTP/database dumps promptly.
