A few precautions avoid problems, even if your company is in Milan or Lugano and your current supplier is far away.
Good practice
How to handle the code safely
- Request it only when the transfer is ready
- Do not share it over unprotected email
- Check that the domain is unlocked
- Check that the owner's details are up to date
Need the code for your domain?
Write to us from the Como or Brianza area: we will guide you through the request to your supplier.
With a well-prepared move, the website stays online during the domain transfer, because the new environment is copied and tested before the destination is switched. Absolutely no interruption cannot be guaranteed, but good planning reduces it: we handle it from Cantù for companies between Como and Milan.
Email during a provider change keeps working if the mail records are replicated before the domain is moved; if this step is forgotten, messages can be lost. For businesses in the province of Como, Brianza and Ticino, we prepare the email before the website.
Before a hosting change, you need an inventory of website, database, mailboxes and certificates, the login details for the control panel and the domain, and a complete copy of the data. We help you prepare them from our Cantù office, if your company is in Como, Brianza or Milan.
DNS propagation is the time it takes for a change to the records to spread across the network, because many servers keep the old copy for a while. It depends on TTL and caching, so it needs planning: for companies between Como, Milan and Lugano we do it without downtime.
A bespoke server is configured starting from the website's needs: type of project, integrations, languages and level of security. In Cantù we configure our own servers for each project, for companies in Como, Brianza and Milan, instead of using the same setup for everyone.
