Why Supabase for this
The thing migrations break is email. Everyone plans for the website and forgets that MX records live in the same DNS zone, which is how a smooth site move takes down a company's inbox.
Supabase is strongest at production-grade auth and RLS without building them, on standard Postgres you can leave. For hosting & cloud migration for websites that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: opinionated in ways that occasionally fight a complex custom auth model. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.
Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

We are not a reseller for Supabase and hold no commission on this choice. Where a different option fits your workload better, the recommendation will say so. That is the entire value of asking us.
What is included
- Full inventory, site, database, mail, certificates, cron jobs and DNS records
- Staging build on the new host verified before any cutover
- TTL reduction ahead of time so DNS propagates quickly
- Cutover window with a rollback path
- Email continuity, which is what migrations most often break
- Post-migration verification of URLs, redirects and search-console status
Questions
Will the site go down?
It should not. With the new host verified in advance and TTLs lowered ahead of the switch, the transition is typically invisible to visitors.
What about our email?
Handled explicitly, as its own checklist item. It is the most common casualty of a careless migration and the one that hurts most.
Does migrating affect SEO?
Not if URLs are preserved and redirects are correct. We verify in Search Console after cutover rather than assuming.
Alternatives for hosting & cloud migration for websites
