After the switch

A migration is unforgiving of small mistakes and completely undramatic when it's done right. If the thought of moving your live site makes you nervous, that's fair — it's exactly the kind of careful, no-downtime move we handle all the time. Follow this list yourself, or let us do the handoff while you keep running.
