Migrations
A server migration is the process of transferring website files, databases, emails, and configurations from a source server to a new destination server.
Liquid Web has a dedicated Migrations Team to assist customers with this process. The team handles the transfer of data for single-site or complex multi-server environments, with the goal of minimizing downtime during the transition.
