Legacy shared hosting
Every website and service dependency tied to a legacy shared hosting account needs a documented destination and completed cutover.
Important service notice
Legacy Hosting must be migrated
Doory is retiring all legacy shared hosting and WordPress hosting accounts on September 2, 2027. After that date, websites still on the legacy platform will no longer work. You are free to migrate yourself, or send a support request and Doory will migrate the site for you — even if the destination is another hosting provider.
Who needs to act
This deadline applies to every legacy hosting account.
If Doory has identified your account as legacy, migration is required even if the website appears to be working normally today.
Legacy WordPress hosting
Every legacy WordPress account must move to a supported WordPress environment or another supported replacement platform.
Not sure which account you have?
Open a Client Portal ticket. Doory can confirm whether the deadline applies and identify the services that require review.
Ask Doory to checkStart before it is urgent
Do not wait for the deadline.
Discovery can uncover DNS, SSL, databases, forms, mailboxes, scheduled tasks, plugins, or external services that need separate attention. Starting early leaves time to make and test those decisions without rushing the final cutover.
Completion criteria
Migration is complete only after the replacement works.
Copying files is not the finish line. The replacement must be reachable, secure, usable, and under the correct account ownership.
- Public pages and administrative access work as expected
- Domains, DNS, SSL, and redirects point to the intended service
- Forms, databases, scheduled tasks, and integrations are tested
- Email dependencies are identified and protected during cutover
- Backups, monitoring, and responsible account owners are confirmed
Migration FAQ
Confirm the details before work begins.
What is a legacy hosting account?
For this notice, a legacy account is a shared hosting or WordPress hosting account that Doory has identified for migration away from its current platform. If you are unsure about your account, open a Client Portal ticket and ask Doory to confirm its status.
Does the website have to be redesigned?
Not always. The right path depends on the current website, its software, its dependencies, and the supported destination. Some sites can be moved largely as they are; others need updates, repairs, or a rebuild before they can operate safely on the replacement service.
Is migration included with the current account?
Do not assume it is included. Doory will review the account and confirm the migration scope, responsibilities, schedule, and any applicable cost before work begins. Doory can also migrate the site to another hosting provider if that is the better fit for the website.
Will the migration cause downtime?
A planned migration can reduce disruption, but no blanket zero-downtime promise applies to every legacy account. The plan should identify DNS, email, database, software, and integration dependencies and include testing before the final cutover.
What happens if an account is not migrated in time?
The legacy platform is retired on September 2, 2027, and websites still on it will no longer work after that date. Complete the migration before the deadline and use the Client Portal to confirm any account-specific impact.
