Why PostgreSQL for this
Lowering DNS TTL a day in advance turns a nervous propagation window into a predictable one. It costs nothing and is skipped constantly.
PostgreSQL is strongest at it handles far more workload than teams expect, with one operational model. 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: genuine analytical workloads past a certain scale belong in a warehouse. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

We are not a reseller for PostgreSQL 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.
