Supported Platforms

Almost any web platform — migrated as-is

WordPress, Laravel, Magento, OpenCart, Joomla, Drupal, custom PHP and static HTML/CSS all supported under the same Standard fee. Hosted site-builders (Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Canva, Google Sites) need a rebuild rather than a migration and are quoted separately.

Website Migration Pricing

Two tiers — Standard or White Label

The Standard tier is for end customers. The White Label tier is for hosting resellers, agencies and IT consultancies whose client should never see another logo — Pakistan's first productised white-label migration as a per-job SKU. For comparison, GoDaddy charges $99.99 (~Rs 28,000) for managed website migration; HW Standard is roughly 91% cheaper.

Our Process

How a migration runs — five steps, under 48 hours

You fill the form and hand over read-only source access; everything else is on us. Real-time WhatsApp updates as each step completes. Total SLA: under 24 hours for Standard sites, under 48 for Magento / multi-site / large eCommerce.

01

Request & access handover

Submit the form or message us on WhatsApp; provide source cPanel / FTP / SSH access (read-only). We confirm scope and start the clock the same business day.

~10 min on your side
02

Full source snapshot

We pull a complete copy of the source — files, databases, mailboxes, SSL configs, DNS zones — into a staging area on our infrastructure. Source stays untouched the entire time.

2-6 hrs
03

Rebuild on destination

New account provisioned, files uploaded, databases imported, mailboxes restored, SSL re-issued, cron jobs and PHP version matched — into the destination's production environment, not a sandbox.

4-12 hrs
04

Test on preview URL

Site goes live on a temporary URL on the destination. You verify functions, forms, payment flow and visual integrity. DNS is not touched until you sign off — no surprises.

2-4 hrs incl. your testing
05

DNS switch with TTL pre-lowered

We pre-lower DNS TTL to 300 seconds 24 hours ahead, then flip the record. Old + new both serve during propagation. Total write-freeze typically under 5 minutes — visitors see no perceivable downtime.

1 hr + TTL window
Free with Annual Hosting

Bundle hosting + migration and the migration is on us

Buy any annual HostingWalay hosting plan and the migration that ships you in is included — no setup fee, no per-file surcharge, no "complexity premium" like HostBreak's Rs 5,000 e-commerce upcharge. Standalone Standard tier (Rs 2,499) and White Label tier (Rs 5,999) stay available for customers not bundling hosting.

Bundled when paid annually

Free migration is included with any annual hosting plan — no hidden setup fees and no per-file surcharge. Pay monthly and the migration is billed at the standard published rate.

Zero perceived downtime

DNS TTL is pre-lowered to 300 seconds 24 hours before cutover; total write-freeze during final sync is typically under 5 minutes. Visitors never see a maintenance page.

Karachi engineer on call

A named local engineer handles every migration end-to-end. Communication in Urdu, English or Roman Urdu — whatever fits your team. WhatsApp updates as each step completes.

Source stays untouched

We snapshot, rebuild on the destination, test on a preview URL, then switch DNS. The source live environment is never modified — if anything goes wrong, rollback is reverting one DNS record.

Website Migration FAQs

How much does website migration cost in Pakistan?

Free with any annual HostingWalay hosting plan — no setup fee, no per-file surcharge. Standalone Standard tier: Rs 2,499 per site (one-time fee, you don't need to buy hosting from us). White Label tier for agencies and resellers: Rs 5,999 per site (anonymous handoff, branded reports, NDA available). For comparison, GoDaddy charges $99.99 (~Rs 28,000) for managed website migration — HW Standard is roughly 91% cheaper. Among PK competitors, HosterPK / WebSouls / HostBreak / CreativeON only offer migration bundled with hosting purchase (HostBreak adds a Rs 5,000 complexity surcharge on e-commerce); none publish a per-type standalone menu.

Which platforms are supported?

Almost any web platform: WordPress, Laravel, custom PHP applications, Magento, OpenCart, WooCommerce, Joomla, Drupal, static HTML/CSS sites and Node.js apps — all supported under the same Standard fee. Hosted site-builders (Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Canva, Google Sites, Blogger) need a rebuild rather than a migration and are quoted separately. For unusual stacks (Statamic, Strapi, Ghost, Astro) send the source URL on WhatsApp and we'll confirm scope before billing.

How long does the migration take?

Total SLA: under 24 hours for standard sites, under 48 hours for Magento, multi-site or large eCommerce. Small WordPress sites (under 5 GB) typically finish in 12-24 hours; large multi-store Magento or complex Laravel apps may take 24-48 hours. WhatsApp updates from your Karachi engineer as each of the five steps completes. Expedited turnaround is available on request when notified in advance.

How is "zero perceived downtime" actually achieved?

Honest mechanics: we don't claim absolute zero downtime — we claim zero perceived downtime. The source site stays live throughout. 24 hours before cutover we drop DNS TTL to 300 seconds; once you've signed off on the preview URL, we run a final delta-sync (write-freeze typically under 5 minutes), flip the DNS record, and both old and new serve during propagation. Email continuity is preserved via MX record sequencing. Visitors see no maintenance page and no observable break.

Can the destination be a host other than HostingWalay?

Yes — destination can be HostingWalay or any major hosting provider or cloud platform worldwide (shared, VPS, dedicated or cloud). You provide source and destination access; we handle everything in between. Free-with-annual-hosting only applies when the destination IS HostingWalay; outgoing migrations to another host are charged at the Standard or White Label rate.

What do I need to provide to start?

Source hosting access — cPanel login, or FTP/SFTP credentials, or server SSH access. Database access if separately stored. If the destination is not HostingWalay, we'll also need destination access. Around 10 minutes of your time at the start to provide credentials; everything after that is on us with WhatsApp updates as each step completes. For White Label engagements, you also sign the NDA and provide your brand assets (logo, signature block, sender domain).

Are mailboxes migrated too?

Yes — if you have cPanel-based email accounts, mailboxes including the full IMAP message history, aliases, forwarders and autoresponders migrate alongside the website under the same Standard fee. If your email runs on Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or Zoho Mail, those mailboxes stay where they are and only DNS records need syncing — email continuity is preserved through proper MX record sequencing during DNS cutover.

What if something breaks during migration?

The source site is never modified during migration — we work on a snapshot and rebuild on the destination, then test on a preview URL before any DNS change. If the preview test reveals a problem, the cutover doesn't happen until it's resolved. After DNS switch, if anything emerges, rollback is reverting one DNS record back to the source — instant recovery. Migration is billed only once the cutover is successfully completed. 14-day money-back guarantee applies to the bundled hosting plan (the migration itself is delivered work and not refundable separately).
