Migrating a large site or online store

Large websites and busy online stores can absolutely be migrated to Dirham A Day - they just deserve a bit more planning to make sure nothing is lost and the site stays available. Our free migration covers them, and our team handles the extra care they need.

Why large and transactional sites need planning:

• They have more data - big media libraries and large databases take longer to transfer and must be kept consistent.
• Shops are constantly changing - new orders arrive at any moment, so the cutover must be timed so no orders are missed.
• Downtime is costly, so keeping the store live throughout is essential.

How we handle it:

1. We copy your site and data to our platform while your store stays live on its old address, using a reverse-proxy cutover.
2. We let you test the migrated store thoroughly - browsing, cart and checkout - before switching.
3. We plan the final cutover for a quiet period, syncing the latest orders and data so nothing is left behind.
4. We re-issue SSL and confirm payment and email are working after the switch.

What helps us plan: tell us your store platform (for example WooCommerce), the rough size of your catalogue and database, your busiest times to avoid, and any payment or shipping integrations.

Growing stores also often benefit from a plan with more resources (Grow or Blaze) so checkout stays fast - we can advise on the right fit as part of the move.
