About This Service

A Cloud Migration Plan Built Around Your Business

Moving a server from one environment to another is not simply a matter of copying files. A successful migration requires understanding your existing infrastructure, applications, databases, dependencies, network configuration, security requirements and — most of all — how much downtime your business can actually absorb.

Our migration team assesses your current environment, designs the target, and executes the transition in controlled stages. Your existing environment keeps running throughout, and production traffic moves only after the new environment has been tested and you've signed off.

What a migration project covers

  • Server and application assessment
  • Cloud architecture planning
  • Migration strategy
  • Infrastructure provisioning
  • Data migration
  • Application migration
  • Database migration
  • DNS and networking changes
  • Testing and validation
  • Cutover planning
  • Post-migration support
The Process

Our Cloud Migration Process

Assess → Plan → Migrate → Test → Cut Over → Optimize. Every project follows the same eight stages, scaled to the size of the environment.

01

Discover

We map your existing infrastructure, applications, dependencies and business requirements, including your downtime tolerance.

02

Assess

We analyse resource utilisation, compatibility, data volumes and migration risks — and share the findings in writing.

03

Design

We design the target cloud environment around performance, availability, security and cost, rather than copying your current specification.

04

Plan

We define the migration sequence, data transfer method, test plan and cutover runbook, with a named cutover window.

05

Migrate

We provision the destination infrastructure and move workloads and data while your current environment stays live.

06

Test

We validate applications, databases, networking, security and performance in the new environment — before any traffic moves.

07

Cut Over

Final synchronisation, then production traffic switches according to the agreed plan, with rollback available throughout.

08

Optimize

After migration we review the environment, adjust resources and configuration, and support you for 14 days.

Rollback is part of the plan, not an emergency. Your source environment stays intact and running until the migration is validated. If something fails at cutover, traffic returns to the original environment while we investigate — you are never left without a working production system.
Step One

Start With a Free Migration Assessment

Before anything moves, we analyse the existing environment to understand what needs to be migrated and how. The assessment is free, and the report is yours whether or not you proceed.

What we look at

  • Server inventory and operating systems
  • CPU, RAM and storage utilisation
  • Applications, services and dependencies
  • Databases and data volume
  • Network and DNS configuration
  • Traffic patterns and peak load
  • Security and access requirements
  • Existing backup arrangements
  • Current infrastructure costs

What you receive

  • Written assessment report
  • Recommended migration strategy
  • Target architecture outline
  • Expected downtime window
  • Indicative project timeline
  • Risks and compatibility issues found
  • Right-sizing and cost observations
  • Fixed project quote

What we need from you

  • Read access to the current environment
  • An application or technical contact
  • Details of third-party integrations
  • Your acceptable downtime window
  • Availability on cutover night
  • Test sign-off before production cutover

Approach

The Right Migration Strategy for Your Workload

Not every application should be migrated the same way. The assessment tells us which of these fits each workload.

Rehost

Move with minimal changes

Move an existing server or workload to the cloud with minimal application modification. Suitable when speed and low migration risk are the priorities.

Replatform

Move and optimize

Move the workload while making selected improvements — a managed database, a load balancer, better storage — to take advantage of cloud capabilities.

Refactor

Redesign for the cloud

Modify or redesign applications to use cloud-native architecture, scaling and managed services. The most effort, and the most long-term benefit.

Replace

Move to a different solution

Where it makes sense, an existing infrastructure component or application is replaced with a suitable cloud service instead of being migrated.

Destinations

Choose the Cloud That Fits Your Business

We are not tied to one platform. The recommendation comes from your workload, not from what we'd prefer to sell.

Migrate to AWS

Move existing servers, applications and databases to AWS with a structured plan, and a target environment sized around your real utilisation.

We migrate

  • Dedicated servers and VPS
  • Virtual machines
  • Web servers and e-commerce platforms
  • Business applications and databases
  • File storage and application environments

Target services

  • EC2, EBS and S3
  • Amazon RDS
  • VPC and Elastic Load Balancing
  • Route 53 and CloudFront

Want the AWS environment run for you afterwards? Managed AWS Services

Migrate to Microsoft Azure

Move Windows and Linux workloads to Azure, with the target environment planned around your application and licensing requirements. Particularly relevant for Microsoft-centric infrastructure.

  • Windows Server and Linux servers
  • IIS and ASP.NET applications
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Virtual machines
  • Business applications
  • File storage
  • Databases
  • Windows Server and SQL Server licensing options reviewed during planning

Migrate to Google Cloud

Move applications, databases and infrastructure to Google Cloud with an architecture designed around your workload requirements.

  • Virtual machines
  • Linux workloads
  • Web applications
  • Databases and storage
  • Containerised applications
  • Supporting application infrastructure

Migrate to eWebGuru Cloud

For businesses that want cloud infrastructure and the team running it under one roof. eWebGuru operates its own network (AS133643) and infrastructure in Tier-IV facilities in Mumbai and Delhi NCR, which keeps latency low for Indian users and support in one place.

  • Cloud servers on our own infrastructure
  • Linux and Windows workloads
  • Hosting and application environments
  • Databases and file storage
  • Managed administration available
  • Single point of contact for infrastructure and support

We recommend the platform your workload fits — including ours only when it's genuinely the right choice.

Downtime

Minimise Downtime During Migration

For business-critical applications, taking production offline for hours isn't practical. Where the workload supports it, we build the destination first, replicate data while your current environment keeps serving traffic, test, then synchronise and switch — so production downtime is limited to the cutover window rather than the whole migration.

Staged migration

  • Prepare — build and configure the destination environment
  • Replicate — transfer data while the existing environment stays live
  • Test — validate application and infrastructure in the new environment
  • Synchronise — final data synchronisation before switching
  • Cut over — switch production traffic to the new environment
  • Validate — confirm applications and services are operating correctly

Controlled production cutover

  • DNS preparation and TTL planning ahead of the switch
  • DNS record changes executed to a runbook
  • Load balancer and SSL configuration
  • Application endpoint changes
  • Final synchronisation
  • Post-cutover validation checks

The actual downtime depends on the application architecture, database, data volume and migration method. We give you the expected window in writing after the assessment, and we plan cutover around your quietest traffic period rather than ours.

We don't treat a DNS change as the migration. The objective is a transition that is controlled and predictable, with a tested environment on the other side of it and a way back if it isn't.
Beyond the Server

We Migrate Applications, Not Just Servers

A server migration only succeeds when the application works correctly in the new environment. So the plan covers the whole stack around it.

Application environment

  • Web servers and application servers
  • Databases and file storage
  • DNS and SSL certificates
  • Scheduled tasks and cron jobs
  • Background services
  • External integrations
  • Network dependencies

Database migration

  • MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server
  • Schema and compatibility review
  • Data transfer and replication where appropriate
  • Application connection changes
  • Data validation and row counts
  • Performance checks
  • Final synchronisation before cutover

Testing before you switch

  • Application functionality and website accessibility
  • Database connectivity
  • SSL certificates and DNS configuration
  • Application services and scheduled tasks
  • File permissions
  • Email functionality
  • Performance and third-party integrations
Who validates what. We validate infrastructure, services, connectivity, performance and availability in the new environment. You get a test window to confirm the application behaves correctly for your users, and production cutover happens once you sign off.
Cost

Don't Simply Recreate Your Old Server in the Cloud

The most common migration mistake is taking an existing physical or VPS specification and reproducing it in the cloud without checking what the workload actually uses. Cloud bills for what you provision, so an oversized copy costs you every month.

  • CPU, RAM and storage requirements from real utilisation
  • Storage performance versus storage size
  • Database resource requirements
  • Network and traffic patterns
  • Scaling requirements for peaks
  • Idle resources that don't need migrating at all

We also flag cost items that surprise people: data egress charges from your current provider during the transfer, and Windows Server or SQL Server licensing in the destination cloud.

Security

Security Considered From the Start

Security shouldn't be bolted on after a migration completes. The target environment is designed with access control and network segmentation in place from day one.

  • Network segmentation and private networking
  • Firewall rules and security groups
  • Access controls and administrative access
  • SSH and RDP access policy
  • IAM configuration where applicable
  • SSL/TLS configuration
  • Server hardening in the new environment

For audits, WAF and deeper hardening after migration, see Security; for backup policy and restore testing, see Backup & DR.

After Cutover

14 Days of Support After Every Migration

Migration doesn't end when DNS changes. The first two weeks in a new environment are when configuration gaps, permission issues and performance surprises appear. Every migration project includes 14 days of post-migration support after cutover, at no extra cost.

  • Application validation
  • Performance monitoring
  • Error troubleshooting
  • Resource utilisation review
  • Configuration adjustments
  • DNS verification
  • Database performance review
  • Resolution of migration-related issues

After those 14 days, you can run the environment yourself or hand day-to-day operations to us — Server Management for Linux and Windows server administration, or Managed AWS for the wider AWS environment. There's no obligation to take either.

Why eWebGuru

Cloud Migration Backed by
Real Infrastructure Experience

Migration isn't only about cloud technology. It needs people who understand servers, operating systems, applications, networking, databases and production environments that can't afford to break.

Infrastructure Experience

eWebGuru has run hosting and server infrastructure since 2007, including our own network (AS133643) and hundreds of production virtual machines in Tier-IV data centres.

Linux & Windows Expertise

One team covering both operating environments, which matters when a migration includes a mix of both.

Multi-Cloud, Not Single-Vendor

We plan migrations to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and our own cloud. The destination is chosen on your requirements, not our preferences.

Business-Focused Planning

Migration plans built around application requirements, downtime tolerance and business priorities — including cutover outside your busy hours.

Security-Conscious Approach

Access controls, segmentation and hardening designed into the target environment rather than retrofitted afterwards.

Support After Go-Live

14 days of post-migration support on every project, then optional ongoing management if you want it.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cloud migration?
Cloud migration is the process of moving servers, applications, databases, data and related infrastructure from an existing environment to a cloud platform.
Is the migration assessment really free?
Yes. You get a written report covering what needs to migrate, the recommended approach, the target environment, the expected downtime window and a fixed quote. The report is yours whether or not you go ahead.
Will my website experience downtime?
Some downtime at cutover is usually unavoidable, but it's limited to the switch itself rather than the whole migration. We build the destination first, replicate data while your current environment stays live, test it, run a final synchronisation and then move traffic. The expected window is confirmed in writing after the assessment.
What happens if something goes wrong during cutover?
Your source environment stays intact and running until the migration is validated. If validation fails at cutover, traffic returns to the original environment while we investigate, so you always have a working production system.
How long does a cloud migration take?
It depends on the environment. A single-server migration is usually a short project; multi-server applications and complex databases need more planning and testing. We give you an expected timeline after the assessment rather than a guess before it.
Who owns the cloud account after migration?
You do. The destination account stays in your name and the cloud provider bills you directly. eWebGuru does not resell cloud infrastructure, so there's no markup and no lock-in.
Are there hidden costs in moving data?
Two items catch people out: data egress charges from your current provider while data is transferred, and Windows Server or SQL Server licensing in the destination cloud. We identify both during assessment so they appear in your plan rather than on a later invoice.
Can you migrate from another cloud provider?
Yes. Cloud-to-cloud migration is possible depending on the workload, architecture and services in use, and it's assessed the same way as any other migration.
Can you migrate Windows and Linux servers?
Yes, both. That includes Windows Server workloads with IIS, ASP.NET and SQL Server, and Linux websites, applications, databases and server environments.
Do you migrate WordPress websites and databases?
Yes. WordPress sites with their databases, files, DNS and server configuration are migrated as a unit, as are MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server databases.
Do you migrate mailboxes and email?
Yes, but email and mailbox migration is quoted separately from server and application migration, because the effort depends on the mail platform, mailbox count and data volume. Tell us about your mail setup during the assessment and we'll quote it alongside the project.
Is this the same as the free migration included with eWebGuru hosting?
No. Free migration applies to moving websites onto an eWebGuru hosting plan. Cloud migration is a scoped project covering assessment, architecture design, staged migration, testing and a planned production cutover, and is quoted per project.
Do I need to stay with eWebGuru after migration?
No. Migration and ongoing management are separate services. Every project includes 14 days of post-migration support; after that you can manage the environment yourself or move to Server Management or Managed AWS if you'd prefer we ran it.
