Feasibility Review and Needs Assessment
One of our representatives from the System Administration department at mxNAP will reach out to you with a request for login credentials to your source server. Additionally, we will ask you to provide any relevant information that may be crucial for our team to successfully migrate your data. It is essential that you share as much detailed information as possible to ensure a smooth transition to the next phase of the process.
Migration Plan
At this stage, a highly experienced member of our Senior System Administration team from mxNAP will securely access your server to initiate the migration planning process. They will begin by meticulously analyzing various aspects of your current server environment. This includes testing the transfer speeds to ensure optimal data movement, assessing the amount of disk space currently in use, and evaluating the CPU and RAM usage to understand the workload demands. Additionally, they will gather detailed information on other critical elements of your source server, which will all contribute to formulating a comprehensive and efficient migration strategy tailored to your specific needs.
Final Sync
After the testing stage has been successfully completed, we will initiate another synchronization process from our side. This synchronization, performed via mxNAP, will update all the files on the destination server that have either been modified or newly added since the conclusion of the testing phase. By doing this, we ensure that any changes or updates made to the original website during or after testing are seamlessly carried over to the destination server. This proactive step will save your team time and effort in the future, as it eliminates the need to manually replicate changes.

Typically, you will not experience any downtime when switching your DNS to our servers at mxNAP. This seamless transition largely depends on maintaining your service with your current provider during the network propagation phase.
To clarify, propagation refers to the time it takes for your updated DNS zone information to spread across the internet after you’ve made the initial change. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) update their DNS caches at varying intervals; some do so frequently, while others may take longer. During this period, some users may still access your site through the old provider, while others will be directed to our servers at mxNAP. The key point is that as long as your service remains active on both platforms, your site will stay online throughout the propagation process.
In most cases, DNS propagation should be fully completed within 24 to 48 hours after the change is made.
Initially, we conduct a thorough speed test to confirm that file transfers will be completed within an acceptable time frame. When migrating actual websites to our services at mxNAP, we go a step further by testing a select group of websites after the migration is complete. These websites are accessed through a dedicated test link on the server, allowing us to evaluate their performance. We cross-reference this with error log files to identify and address any potential issues, ensuring a smooth and error-free transition.
