Hosting & Cloud Migration for Websites built on Kubernetes, chosen where it genuinely fits, and swapped where it does not.

Why Kubernetes for this
We build and verify on the new host before touching DNS, so cutover is a switch rather than an experiment.
Kubernetes is strongest at portability and fine-grained control over scaling and scheduling. For hosting & cloud migration for websites that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: an operational burden most teams below a certain size should not take on. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.
You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

We are not a reseller for Kubernetes and hold no commission on this choice. Where a different option fits your workload better, the recommendation will say so. That is the entire value of asking us.
What is included
- Full inventory, site, database, mail, certificates, cron jobs and DNS records
- Staging build on the new host verified before any cutover
- TTL reduction ahead of time so DNS propagates quickly
- Cutover window with a rollback path
- Email continuity, which is what migrations most often break
- Post-migration verification of URLs, redirects and search-console status
Questions
Will the site go down?
It should not. With the new host verified in advance and TTLs lowered ahead of the switch, the transition is typically invisible to visitors.
What about our email?
Handled explicitly, as its own checklist item. It is the most common casualty of a careless migration and the one that hurts most.
Does migrating affect SEO?
Not if URLs are preserved and redirects are correct. We verify in Search Console after cutover rather than assuming.
Alternatives for hosting & cloud migration for websites
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
