My Process: 8 Steps for a Flawless Migration
Project Discovery & Access Setup
We begin with a short consultation where I gather your current and target hosting credentials, migration goals (e.g., staging, live, new domain), and any special considerations like SSL, email setup, or third-party apps.Full Site Backup & Environment Scan
I perform a complete backup of your existing site—including files, database, uploads, and configurations—so we always have a rollback point in case of issues.Hosting Server Assessment
Before initiating migration, I inspect your new host’s server requirements (PHP version, memory limits, database engine, etc.) and optimize accordingly to ensure compatibility.Site Files & Database Transfer
I securely move your WordPress files, themes, plugins, and database to the new server using tools like SFTP, WP-CLI, SSH, or manual methods, depending on complexity.Configuration & Path Adjustments
Once the transfer is complete, I update wp-config.php, permalinks, media links, and hardcoded URLs across your database and files to reflect the new environment or domain.Domain, DNS & SSL Setup
If you’re changing your domain or switching DNS providers, I handle propagation, SSL certificate installation, and redirect rules to ensure a secure and consistent experience.Testing, Troubleshooting & Optimization
I run a full QA cycle—testing forms, pages, checkout (if applicable), menus, and mobile responsiveness. I also fix any theme/plugin conflicts and clear caches.Launch & Final Documentation
Once everything is verified, I finalize the migration, clean up staging files, and provide you with documentation that includes your new access credentials and any changes made.Why Website Migration Matters?
Whether you're scaling your business, upgrading to better hosting, or rebranding with a new domain—website migration is a critical task that needs to be done with care. Doing it incorrectly can result in a broken site, lost leads, or even SEO deindexing.
Professional website migration ensures:
Your website remains fully functional during and after the move
No loss of design, content, forms, or custom features
Faster loading times and better server performance (when upgrading hosting)
I take the guesswork out of it, handling everything from DNS to database, while you focus on running your business.
