How a PHP application migration actually happens
Moving a live PHP app is riskier than moving a static site, because a broken database connection string or a missing cron job can take a working application offline even after the files copy over cleanly. Free managed migration handles the full stack — code, the MySQL database behind it, environment configuration and any cron jobs your app depends on — rather than just the files in public_html.
Our team verifies the app actually loads and connects to its database on the new account before your domain is pointed over, so visitors don't land on a half-migrated site. Framework apps that rely on a composer.lock file or a .env for configuration are migrated with those intact, so the dependency versions and settings you tested locally are the ones that go live.
