Changing hosting doesn’t mean rebuilding your site

If you already have a working website, it can be moved to the new hosting while preserving its existing structure and data. The Level3 team handles the technical side of the migration and verifies the new environment in advance.

Your existing hosting details Panel, FTP/SFTP or other relevant access.

Domain management The ability to change DNS records at the final stage.

Email information If email is being migrated too, a list of the existing accounts is needed.

SEO and technical stability

During migration, special attention is paid to preserving the URL structure, HTTPS, redirects, DNS and the site’s functionality, so that the hosting change does not cause technical problems.
