Most hosting migrations do not fail because of one big disaster. They fail because five small assumptions stack up at once - DNS was overlooked, backups were old, email routing was unclear, and nobody wrote down what “done” actually meant. That is why a guide to hosting migration planning matters before you move a single site, database, or mailbox.

That means knowing what is moving, what can wait, what cannot go down, and who is responsible when something behaves creatively.
