In short
Blue Digital moves websites to new hosting in an emergency, 7 days a week: host shutting down, expired contract, suspended account, outdated server. Files, databases, mailboxes and DNS are inventoried, copied and checked before the switch, to keep downtime to a minimum. You pay once the site is live and you have seen the migrated site working.
The cut-off date is close, and nobody holds the keys.
Your host has sent one email, then another. The logins belong to a former agency. Nobody knows where the mailboxes live or who manages the domain. A botched migration means a half-working site, empty mailboxes and lost orders. You need an inventory first, then a clean switch.
The situations that force a quick move
An emergency migration nearly always starts with one of these. The sooner we start, the more we can recover.
My site has this problemend of planYour host is ending the plan or closing
A takeover, a product line dropped, a shutdown: an email gives a date after which your data will be deleted.
suspendedThe account is suspended
Unpaid invoice, expired card, abuse report or resource limits exceeded: the site shows an error or maintenance page.
renewalThe contract is about to expire
Renewal is too expensive, or the hosting was bought by a former provider who won't renew it.
accessSomeone else holds the logins
The hosting account, the domain or the control panel are in the name of an agency or a former employee.
PHPThe server is too old for your site
The host forces a PHP or MySQL version your site can't run on, or the system no longer gets updates.
MXYour email is hosted in the same place
When the hosting stops, the mailboxes stop too. They have to move at the same time as the site.
Every hour of downtime has a price.
If your hosting is cut off before the move, the site, forms and often email all stop at once. Estimate what each hour offline would cost.
Indicative estimate: online revenue spread over trading hours, not counting customers lost for good or the impact on search rankings.
From error page to confirmed order.
Drag the slider: this is what you see before we step in, and what you check before you pay.

A typical fix, hour by hour
How an emergency migration runs for a typical site. Timings depend on data volume, the order never changes: inventory and price come before any copying.

Frequently asked questions
Question not listed? Ask it directly: a developer answers, not a call centre.
Can you run the migration at a weekend?
Yes. We respond 7 days a week, weekends included. A weekend switch is often better anyway, when traffic is lower.
How long does a migration take?
For a typical site, the migration is usually done within the day once we have access. Data volume, the number of mailboxes and how quickly the old host responds can stretch that: we give you the timeline after the inventory.
Will the site go offline during the move?
The old site stays online while we copy. We prepare the domain switch so the change is picked up quickly. Downtime is usually limited to the final sync.
My account is already suspended. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. Many hosts keep data for a while after suspension, and settling the account can sometimes reactivate it long enough to copy everything. Contact us quickly: that window varies from one host to another.
What about our email addresses?
They are part of the inventory. We move the mailboxes and their content, then set the MX, SPF and DKIM records so sending and receiving carry on.
Which host do you recommend?
The one that fits your site, traffic and budget. We explain the options, but the contract is taken out in your name and you stay in control.
How does payment work?
The price is given after the inventory, before any copying. You pay once the site is live with the new host and you have checked it with us.
When can we cancel the old hosting?
After you sign off and a few days of monitoring. We also keep a full copy of the site on our side, in case anything turns out to be missing.
Give us the cut-off date. We'll organise the rest.
