Website migration
Do you want to change your supplier?
Are you ready for a fresh start with your website, but do you want to maintain visitors, discoverability and performance? At Xuntos, we make sure that your website moves effortlessly, whether it's within Umbraco, to our hosting on Azure, or to another provider.
Moving your existing Umbraco website to Xuntos?
Our experienced team takes care of all technical and strategic matters. This keeps your site safe, discoverable and fast, so you can get ahead with your next step online.
Over the past year, we saw an increase in the number of relationships that changed internet agencies, provided they were able to continue working with the Umbraco CMS. Xuntos advises and helps you carefully whether or not to take this step.
Changing your internet agency is a careful process where you weigh all the pros and cons. Once you've made the decision to move, you want to move quickly and get started with fresh energy. To move an Umbraco website, you need an action plan. So let's first see what it means to move a website.
What does moving your website mean?
Moving your website to another supplier means transferring the technical and often functional parts of your website from your current web partner to a new party. This isn't the same as just moving hosting: it also involves transferring source code, database, CMS, domain name, email settings, and other digital infrastructure.
What exactly is being moved?
- Website files: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, scripts, etc.
- Database: all content (such as texts, pages, forms), user data and settings.
- Your Umbraco CMS
- Hosting environment: from an old server to, for example, a modern cloud environment (such as Azure).
- E-mail services: if they are linked to the domain.
- SEO structure: including redirects and URL retention, so as not to lose your Google positions.
- Domain name: optional transfer of your domain name registration.
We're not just going to get started
We will first determine whether it is possible whether Xuntos can take over your website as a new administrator. In addition, we also determine whether we can offer quality support.
The analysis
Before we start the analysis, we'll ask you if relevant documentation is available. This includes the functional design, information and specifications of API links with 3rd party content providers and test plans. After that, we will start investigating your Umbraco environment. Among other things, we include the following points:
- Inventory of the infrastructure and auxiliary software used.
- Database and content setup.
- The quality of the code in the front and back end.
- Website performance and security.
- SEO - search engine optimization.
- Digital accessibility.
We start with a plan of action
We are regularly asked to analyse an existing Umbraco environment and then make a recommendation. Our certified Umbraco developers do this in approximately 3-5 business days, depending on the complexity and age of your website. After that, we will prepare a report for you.
Getting to know
We extensively analyze the layout of the Umbraco CMS and the associated source code. Together, we will discuss the possibilities of analysis.

Action plan
In this report, we process the analysis, make recommendations and schedule activities, complete with a cost. In this cost, we may include hosting if necessary. At Xuntos, we offer a hosting package based on an Azure environment.
Together
Together, we will discuss the move and future cooperation. We will start the work after your approval. We may move your website to our hosting service and further develop the recommendations.
How do you want to host your website?
We will move your website to our hosting service and will further develop the recommendations.
Would you prefer to host it yourself or an external provider?
It is possible that your organization hosts the website itself or that you have placed the hosting with an external provider. In either case, that is no problem, we will only carry out the further development and we will work with the respective hosting party.
