How to Migrate Your Website to BDIX Hosting

Moving your website to BDIX hosting is the same, well-understood migration process as any host change — with one goal: get your site onto a BDIX-connected server so your Bangladeshi visitors enjoy the faster local experience, all without downtime. Here is how to do it cleanly.

The golden rule: test before you switch

As with any migration, never point your domain at the new server until the new server is fully working. That is how you achieve zero downtime — the same principle as our zero-downtime migration checklist.

Step 1: Back up your current site

Take a full backup of your files and databases before anything else. Never migrate without one.

Step 2: Copy everything to the BDIX server

Move your files to the new BDIX-connected hosting.
Move your databases and update your site's config to match.
Recreate email accounts and any cron jobs.

If your old host also uses cPanel, the move is especially smooth — see migrating between cPanel hosts.

Step 3: Test on the BDIX server first

Preview the site on the new server and click through everything before going live. Fix any issues now, while your old site still serves visitors.

Step 4: Switch your domain

Once you are confident, update your nameservers (or A records) to the BDIX server. Allow for DNS propagation, and keep the old server running for a few days during the transition.

Step 5: Confirm the BDIX benefit

After the switch, verify local performance — see checking your BDIX speed and ping — to confirm your visitors are getting the local route.

Frequently asked questions

Will my site go down during the move?

It should not. Because you copy and test on the BDIX server before switching DNS, the old site keeps serving until the new one is ready. Keeping the old host live briefly covers the propagation window.

Will I need to change anything on my site?

Mainly your database connection details in the config, and DNS. The site's content and code move as they are. A cPanel-to-cPanel move is largely automated.

Can VernalWeb migrate my site to BDIX for me?

Yes — open a migration request and we will handle the transfer to your BDIX plan, testing before the switch for a smooth, downtime-free move.
