Our daily migrations shifts are 2:30 am to 10:30 am UTC. We can&#8217;t specify an exact time, as availability depends on our support queue volume. However, you&#8217;re welcome to specify any date that you prefer and we will do our best to accommodate you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will My Website go Offline?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After everything has been migrated to Rochen you will be able to test to ensure your site works as expected using a temporary access URL provided by our team before making the final DNS cutover of your live domain name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team will provide you with detailed updates, as well as any steps that you need to take before switching your DNS.
