Cloud migration services with the downtime limit in writing.

Cloud migration services move your software, databases and files from your own on-premise servers or an old host to a cloud provider such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. A good one plans the move, tests it on a copy, switches over with as little downtime as possible and leaves your team able to run the new setup.

Our prices are per item: $2,300 for the cloud setup, $1,600 per application or website, $1,400 per database, $1,100 per server and $600 per file store. One app with one database comes to $5,300. Moves over 15 items get a written quote, and every quote arrives within 24 hours.

About three weeks for one app and its database, and about four weeks for a small office. The usual delay is access, so the sooner we can see your current systems, the sooner we can rehearse.

Usually for a short window, at night or on a weekend. The rehearsal tells us how long the switch really takes, and we set your downtime limit in writing before the real move. Go over it and you don't pay the last third. Some setups can switch with almost no downtime, and we'll say if yours can.

It depends on what you run. One small app with a managed database lists at about $170 to $200 a month before backups, file storage and extra traffic. You pay the provider directly, and we add no markup. Your quote includes a written estimate. If your first full bill comes in more than 20% over it, we tune the setup for free until it's inside.

It depends on what you run. Azure usually suits Windows Server and SQL Server, AWS suits most custom software, and Google Cloud suits heavy data work. A simpler cloud can be enough for small apps. We offer AWS migration services, Azure migration services and Google Cloud moves, and we take no commission from any of them.

Lift and shift means moving software to the cloud without changing it. It's the fastest way off an old server, but it doesn't always lower your costs by itself, so we often upgrade the database or backups at the same time.

Usually, yes. If it runs on a server, we can move that server. If it's too old to run safely anywhere, we'd look at modernizing it first.

Yes. We move MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server databases, compare every table before and after, and rehearse the switch on a copy. Database migration is $1,400 per database.

Yes. We can move VMware machines to AWS, Azure or Google Cloud as they are, at $1,100 per machine. Support for vSphere 7 ended in October 2025, so if you're still on it, this is a good time to decide.

Cloud migration for a small business is often worth it if your server is aging, its support is ending or nobody wants to look after it. The cloud isn't always cheaper month to month, so we show you the expected bill first. If staying put makes more sense, we'll tell you.

A small move is doable in-house, and many of the tools are free or cheap. You hire help for the rehearsal, the switch night and having someone answerable if it goes wrong. If you only want cloud migration consulting, we can write the plan and your team can carry it out.

Data moves over encrypted connections, and the new setup has its access rules and backups in place before any data arrives. Your old system stays untouched until the move is finished and you've signed off.

You can. The cloud account and the setup code are yours. AWS, Google and Microsoft have also announced free data transfer for customers moving out, each with its own conditions.

One person who knows the systems, read-only access to them and a list of what runs where. If you don't have that list, we'll build it with you. We work by email, so there are no standing meetings.
