A simple migration sequence for cloning, testing, DNS cutover, and rollback safety.
Clone the site first, test it on the new environment, and reduce DNS TTL before the final cutover window. Never move production by editing the live site directly during the switchover.
Keep the old environment online until DNS settles and application logs confirm traffic is hitting the new origin reliably.
Always validate uploads, database connections, SSL, cron jobs, and transactional email after the move.
