Cloud migration
Phased moves from on-prem, colocation, legacy VPS, and WordPress hosts to cloud or static sites — with testing, rollback plans, and minimal disruption.
Migration servicesMove off legacy servers. Grow on modern cloud.
If you are still running on end-of-life hardware, outdated VPS plans, slow WordPress hosting, or servers your team is afraid to touch, Hosting Llama helps you migrate to managed cloud, modern static sites, and applications that support your business.
Is your infrastructure holding you back?
Many companies delay migration until a failed drive, expired OS, or security incident forces emergency action. Recognizing these signals early saves money and reputation.
End-of-life operating systems
Windows Server 2012 R2 and older Linux releases no longer receive security patches. Compliance and insurance requirements increasingly expect supported platforms.
Aging hardware and no headroom
On-prem servers and old dedicated boxes cannot scale for traffic spikes or new applications. Upgrades mean capital expense and downtime you cannot schedule.
“We only have one person who knows this server”
Tribal knowledge and manual fixes create risk. When that person is unavailable, outages last longer and changes become dangerous.
WordPress that is slow, insecure, or stuck
Outdated PHP, plugin conflicts, and cheap shared hosting hurt SEO and conversions. We move you to managed cloud WordPress or a fast static site — whichever matches how you publish and sell online.
What we do for your business
From assessment to cutover and beyond, we combine migration expertise, managed cloud operations, and application development under one partner.
Managed cloud hosting
Secure, monitored environments with backups, patching, and scaling — so your team spends time on the business, not midnight server work.
Hosting detailsApplication development
Portals, internal tools, APIs, and integrations that replace manual work — built to run on infrastructure we operate and support.
Development servicesOur migration process
Every environment is different. This framework keeps projects predictable without treating your business like a template.
- 1
Discover
Inventory servers, domains, databases, integrations, and compliance needs. Identify dependencies that must move together.
- 2
Plan
Choose lift-and-shift, replatform, or refactor paths per workload. Define timelines, downtime windows, and success criteria.
- 3
Migrate
Execute test migrations, validate data integrity, and cut over with monitoring in place. Rollback options stay ready until stability is proven.
- 4
Optimize
Right-size resources, tighten security, automate backups, and retire legacy costs — including hardware leases and unused licenses.
Why modern cloud beats “good enough” hosting
Reliability and recovery
Automated snapshots, off-site backups, and redundant infrastructure reduce the impact of hardware failure. Recovery objectives are defined before you need them.
Elastic capacity
Seasonal traffic, new product launches, and remote teams no longer require buying servers months in advance. Resources scale with demand.
Security posture
Patch management, firewall policies, access controls, and audit-friendly logging replace the hope that an unmaintained box stays safe on the public internet.
Operational clarity
Dashboards, alerts, and documented runbooks mean your organization is not dependent on one heroic administrator and a folder of old passwords.
Applications built for how you work
Hosting alone does not fix broken processes. We design and develop software that fits your operations — customer portals, scheduling tools, inventory dashboards, and API connections to the systems you already use.
- Replace error-prone spreadsheets with role-based web applications
- Integrate accounting, CRM, and industry-specific platforms
- Modernize legacy PHP, .NET, or custom code during migration
- Host and support what we build on the same cloud platform
Transparent pricing — strong performance per dollar
Cloud is not always “cheaper” on day one, but it is often less expensive overall than maintaining aging hardware — while delivering faster page loads, elastic capacity, and managed security. Prices are starting points. Final quotes depend on traffic, storage, compliance, and support level.

Frequently asked questions
When should we migrate off our current server?
If your operating system no longer receives security updates, hardware is failing or cannot scale, or outages are affecting staff and customers, it is time to plan a move. We assess risk, dependencies, and downtime tolerance before recommending a timeline.
Can you migrate our existing websites and applications without rebuilding everything?
Often yes. Many workloads can move with a lift-and-shift or rehost approach. WordPress sites may go to managed cloud as-is, or convert to a static website when you do not need dynamic plugins — we recommend the path after reviewing your content and integrations.
Should we keep WordPress in the cloud or move to a static website?
Keep WordPress on managed cloud if you rely on WooCommerce, frequent updates, membership plugins, or complex editor workflows. A static site fits brochure-style marketing pages where speed, security, and low maintenance matter more than logging into wp-admin daily. We help you decide and preserve SEO through proper redirects and metadata.
What is the difference between VPS hosting and managed cloud hosting?
A VPS is still a single virtual machine you must patch, monitor, and scale yourself. Managed cloud hosting adds automated backups, monitoring, security hardening, and elastic resources — with a team responsible for the platform so your staff can focus on the business.
How long does a typical server migration take?
Simple sites may move in days; multi-application environments with databases and integrations often take several weeks. We document every system, run test migrations, and schedule cutover windows that match your acceptable downtime.
Do you build custom business applications as well as hosting?
Yes. We design and develop line-of-business tools, customer portals, APIs, and integrations that replace spreadsheets and manual workflows — hosted on the same cloud platform we manage for you.
Will our data be secure during and after migration?
We use encrypted transfer paths, least-privilege access, and tested backup procedures. Post-migration, environments include firewall rules, patch management, and recovery options aligned with your compliance needs.
Can you support Windows and Linux legacy servers?
We regularly work with aging Windows Server, Linux, and hybrid on-prem setups — including older control panels and colocated hardware — and map each workload to an appropriate cloud target.
Is cloud hosting actually cheaper than our old server?
Often yes, when you include all-in costs: hardware refresh, power, colocation, Windows or SQL licensing, and staff time for patching and outages. Cloud lets you scale resources to match traffic instead of buying peak capacity upfront. We compare your current invoices to our hosting tiers during assessment so you see realistic performance-for-dollar outcomes — not marketing slogans.
