Have you left site production to an outside firm and never checked what is inside your monthly server contract and security configuration? SHANNON assesses your current contract, configuration, and security for free, as a neutral third party. If we conclude that your current plan is enough, or that a configuration review alone will solve it, we tell you exactly that.
It is common for years to pass with the server left entirely to the company that built your site. Why not take stock once of whether the cost, configuration, and security still fit your situation?
We do not propose with migration or the cloud as a foregone conclusion. We deliver our neutral, third-party assessment as one of four patterns. Sometimes the conclusion is that you are over-provisioned and should move to a lower plan.
Cases solvable without changing servers — a configuration review, plugin cleanup, cache tuning, and the like. We simply hand over the assessment report and finish.
Cases handled by moving up — or, if over-provisioned, down — within your current service such as Xserver, CPI, or Sakura. Completed by a plan change alone, with no migration.
Cases where, due to support quality or PHP / DB version ceilings, switching to another host (Xserver, Sakura, KAGOYA, CPI, etc.) is the better move.
Cases where shared hosting hits its limits — rising traffic, redundancy, large numbers of subdomains, a co-located app server. We pick and propose the cloud that fits the case, such as AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, or Vultr.
Beyond the migration work, the flat price includes one year of post-migration operation.
We take stock of your current server's configuration, domains, email, plugins, and data volume, and document the migration risks in writing. The assessment alone is enough to decide not to migrate.
Duration: 1–2 weeks
We carry this out only if the assessment concludes that migration is the better option. We select the destination that best fits each case (a higher-tier shared plan such as Xserver, Sakura, or CPI; a different host; or a cloud such as AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, or Vultr). Parallel build, then staging verification, then DNS cutover keeps business impact to a minimum.
Duration: 2–4 weeks (skipped if you do not migrate)
Includes 12 months of post-migration monitoring, backups, and security updates. We share measured page speed and uptime in a monthly report.
Duration: 12 months (auto-renewing)
These are examples strictly from cases we assessed as warranting migration. Results vary widely with site configuration and traffic, and in some cases staying as you are is cheaper and faster than migrating.
2.4s on shared hosting, down to 0.9s on cloud plus CDN (for one media site). That said, in another case a higher-tier shared plan plus cache tuning alone brought it down to 1.2s.
Dropping from an over-provisioned contract to a right-sized configuration can cut the monthly cost by around 30% in some cases. On the other hand, moving a small WordPress site to the cloud can end up more expensive than shared hosting, so we always produce an estimate during the assessment. If Xserver or CPI works out cheaper, that is what we recommend.
We keep monitoring, backups, and updates going on a monthly basis and share measured uptime and page speed in a monthly report. Our commitment goes as far as making the numbers visible; we do not turn an uptime of X% into a contractual guarantee. Where there is room to improve, we address it the following month.
The assessment is entirely free. Even if we judge that no migration is needed, we hand over the assessment report and finish. A cost arises only if you ask us to handle migration or operation after the assessment.
The assessment is free. If the result is that staying as you are is enough, or that a downgrade suffices, no additional cost arises. Only when migration or operation is needed do we quote individually based on factors such as the number of sites, the destination, and whether redundancy is involved.
Asking a party that starts from a fixed destination, or from its own plans, will not reveal what you actually need. Whether the assessment is done neutrally, as a third party, is the dividing line.
Everything you share is treated as confidential.
