Hire a WordPress Migration Expert
Are you trying to move your site to a new host and don’t know how to migrate your WordPress website? Or your web design handed over your new website code to you and said migrating WordPress onto your host was not part of your agreement.
By hiring an experienced WordPress developer to migrate your site, the process will be stress-free for you, potentially saving you downtime and hours of frustration communicating with web hosting support.
I’ve logged 1,000s hours developing WordPress sites and migrating them. If you don’t do it right, your website can go offline, and email service can get disrupted. Not good for business.
Work with a WordPress expert that will take care of moving your website to a new host, along with dealing with the domain DNS issues that go along with it.
WordPress Migration Checklist
There is a lot to consider beyond “moving files” to successfully move WordPress to a new host with no downtime or disruption to your search engine rankings. Having a process in place that you can check off each step ensures a successful transfer.
Full Backups
A full website backup is generated before getting started. This ensures the site can quickly be rolled back in case problems would arise.
Domain Name
To complete a migration to a new host, DNS records need to be updated for web hosting and potentially email too. Before this update, the site is fully tested on the new host.
Aftersupport
Your website transfer is complete after DNS updates and the site is tested again. Consulting is provided to make sure you cancel the right services at your old host.
Migrating vs Migrating to WordPress
WordPress migration services offered here are to migrate your WordPress website to a new host. i.e. Migrating WordPress to Godaddy, or migrating WordPress from Bluehost.
This is different than migrating your website code to WordPress like Squarespace to WordPress migrations. This would be considered converting to WordPress. Get a quote to convert to WordPress.
