How Does The Migration Work?
Our Pantheon Migration Plus process is structured to ensure a seamless transition from hosting platforms. It begins with thoroughly reviewing your existing hosting setup to identify potential compatibility issues. Next, we create an environment on Pantheon and transfer your site’s code, database, and files.
We run quality assurance checks to verify that all features function and that content appears as expected.
Once our QA is complete, we’ll work with you to explore the test environment and provide feedback. More often than not, that feedback is simply a green light to proceed. Once approved, we prepare for the go-live phase by verifying the SSL setup and making necessary DNS changes to ensure a smooth transition.
