The move, in eight steps

A controlled path to the new server.

PlanReads the source and the target, writes nothing, keeps a performance baseline.
Target siteThe site on the new server, checked before anything is copied.
FilesBox-to-box copy of the files outside git: one round ahead, one at the cut.
DatabaseA copy ahead and a last copy at the cut; tables and rows compared.
Workers & cronRecreated on the new server, paused until the cut-over.
Cut-overMaintenance on both copies, the last round, workers moved, DNS repointed.
VerifyThe new copy is checked from outside and compared with the baseline.
RetireThe old copy goes only after 7 days, behind its own approval.

It reads both servers and shows what will move and what will not.

Workers and the scheduler stay paused on the new server until the cut-over.

It is retired only after that, behind its own approval and checks.

Plan the move, review each step and approve the cut-over when you are ready.
