This service migrates your website or web app from your current web server to Microsoft Azure App Service. IT Partner analyzes the web server installation with Microsoft's current App Service migration and assessment tooling, identifies which sites can move and which components are unsupported on the platform, migrates the applicable sites and databases, and validates that the web app works in Azure correctly and stably. The service is $450 per project, runs 1 day, and is managed by Mike Mackey.
IT Partner helps move your website or web app from your current web server to Azure App Service. Depending on your selected items, the migration may involve Azure App Service capabilities such as automatic scaling up and down to meet demand in busy times and reduce costs during quiet times; automatic site backups to protect changes and data; the high availability and resilience of the Azure PaaS platform; deployment slots for development and staging environments and staged go-lives; load balancing and DDoS protection; and traffic management to direct users to the closest geographic deployment. Because App Service is a managed platform, the assessment matters: OS and runtime support, connection strings and configuration values, custom-domain and TLS certificate cutover, and server-level components that App Service does not host are all reviewed before migration, and anything that cannot move is called out. The result is your website(s) running in the Azure cloud.
Confirm scope, the sites in scope, stakeholders, access to the source web server and Azure subscription, and the cutover approach.
Analyze the web server installation with Microsoft's current App Service migration and assessment tooling, identify migratable sites and unsupported elements, and agree the migration specification.
Migrate the applicable sites and databases to Azure App Service according to the agreed specification.
Complete the deployment, configure the web apps, and coordinate the DNS and certificate cutover performed by the client.
Verify the migrated sites work correctly and stably in Azure, fix migration-related issues within scope, and deliver the migration summary and closeout report.
IT Partner analyzes your web server installation, identifies which sites can be migrated to Azure App Service and which elements are unsupported, installs and configures Microsoft's App Service migration tooling, migrates the applicable sites and databases, and verifies the result. You receive a migration summary with links to the new Azure web apps and a project closeout report.
The service is $450 per project and runs 1 day, quoted fixed-price in writing before work begins. Azure consumption for the App Service plan itself is billed by Microsoft separately.
Yes. The analysis identifies which sites can be migrated and highlights elements that cannot move or are unsupported on the platform — for example custom server-level components, non-HTTP services, or legacy runtimes. That assessment happens before migration, so you know the boundary in advance.
Databases may be included when applicable, based on the selected migration items — the stated scope covers migrating sites and databases from a remote server to Azure. The database target, method, and sizing are confirmed during planning.
Depending on configuration: automatic scaling, automatic site backups, the high availability of the Azure PaaS platform, deployment slots for staging and staged go-lives, load balancing and DDoS protection, and traffic management. These are platform capabilities, not automatic guarantees — the configuration for your site is agreed during the engagement.
The migration itself runs alongside your live site; user-facing impact is concentrated at cutover, when DNS is switched to the new Azure web app. Cutover timing, DNS TTL reduction, and certificate binding are planned in advance, and deployment slots can support a staged go-live where configured. The service does not promise zero downtime.
The client performs internal and external DNS changes, as stated in the client responsibilities. IT Partner configures the Azure side — including custom domain bindings and certificates where in scope — and coordinates the cutover sequence with your DNS administrator.
No. Changes or modifications to website or web app functionality are not included. The service migrates the site as it is; connection strings and configuration values are adjusted for the App Service environment, but application code is not modified.
No. Website support is not included. The engagement ends with the verified migration, the migration summary, and the project closeout report; ongoing support or hosting management can be arranged separately.
Yes — the scope refers to website(s) moved from the web server to Azure App Service. How many sites can move, and which ones, depends on the selected migration items and the analysis of your web server installation.
The implementation plan includes a verify-and-fix step: IT Partner verifies the migrated sites and addresses migration-related issues within the engagement scope. Broader website support or functionality changes remain out of scope.
The migrated website(s) in Azure App Service, applicable migrated databases, a migration summary showing the sites migrated and links to the new Azure web apps, and a project closeout report with final status, acceptance evidence, outstanding issues if any, and the final budget.
