# Website migration and rescue in Mauritius

Lost logins, a slow or failing host, a developer who disappeared. I recover what you own, move it somewhere safe and keep your search rankings intact along the way.

## What is covered

01

### Access recovery

Your domain, hosting and admin logins brought back into your name.

02

### Hosting moves

A move to faster, more reliable hosting, with no lost files or email.

03

### Platform migrations

From Wix, Squarespace or an old CMS to WordPress or a static build.

04

### Search protection

Every old URL mapped and redirected, so rankings carry over.

05

### Clean-up

Malware removed, abandoned plugins replaced and security tightened.

06

### Documentation

A record of where everything lives and who has access.

Phase: Build

## How it works

1.  01
    
    ### Assess
    
    I check what you have, what you own and what is at risk.
    
2.  02
    
    ### Secure
    
    Backups first, then access recovered and passwords reset.
    
3.  03
    
    ### Plan the move
    
    A migration plan with a URL map, a test copy and a way back.
    
4.  04
    
    ### Migrate
    
    The move itself, timed for low traffic, with email and DNS checked.
    
5.  05
    
    ### Verify
    
    Redirects, forms, Search Console and speed checked after launch.
    

## What you get

-   Full backups before anything changes
-   Access and ownership in your name

Questions

## What to know before you start

I have lost access to my website. Can you help?

Usually, yes. If you own the domain, there are routes to recover the rest. I start by confirming ownership and backing up whatever is reachable.

Will I lose my Google rankings if I move?

Not if the move is planned. Mapping and redirecting every old URL is the main safeguard, and I check Search Console afterwards.

Will my email stop working?

It should not. I check your email records before changing anything and plan the switch so mail keeps flowing.

Can you move my site off Wix or Squarespace?

Yes. Content, images and pages move to a platform you control, with redirects wherever the old platform allows them.
