WordPress Website Migration
The renewal invoice from your old host has just doubled. Or you are rebranding onto a new domain. Or the business has outgrown Wix. Whatever the reason, you have heard the stories about sites losing half their traffic after a move, and you don't want to be one of them.

Why it matters
Why invest in WordPress Website Migration
Switch-Over Planned
DNS changes at a time we agree, and the old site stays in place until the new one checks out.
Rankings Looked After
URL mapping and 301 redirects help keep the rankings and backlinks you have already earned.
Everything Checked
Media, users, forms, orders and settings are verified after the move, not assumed to be there.
Email Keeps Working
We check MX records so your mailboxes don't go quiet when the domain points somewhere new.
What you get
What's included in WordPress Website Migration
We move sites from host to host, switch domains, sort out HTTP to HTTPS, fold single sites into multisite, and bring content across from Wix, Squarespace, Joomla, Drupal or plain HTML. Files and database are copied over and URLs are replaced with WP-CLI's search-replace, which handles the serialised data that a plain SQL find-and-replace would corrupt. Email, cron jobs and SSL are checked on the new server before anything is switched.
When the domain or URL structure changes, every old URL is mapped to its new address with a 301 redirect, and for a domain move we file the Change of Address in Search Console. The DNS switch is booked for a quiet hour in your time zone.
- Backup Before the MoveA full copy of files and database stored safely before anything starts.
- New Server SetupPHP version, memory limits, SSL and caching configured on the new host.
- Safe Search-ReplaceURLs updated in the database, including serialised data that a simple find-and-replace breaks.
- Content Import From Other PlatformsPosts, pages and images brought over from Wix, Squarespace, Joomla or HTML into WordPress.
- Redirect MapA spreadsheet of old and new URLs, then set up as 301 redirects on the new site.
- Post-Launch ChecksForms, checkout, links and Search Console tested, and any crawl errors that show up fixed.
How we work
One team. A clear plan. Monthly results.
Audit & plan
We study your business, website and competitors, then agree goals and a clear plan with you.
Launch
We set everything up, test tracking and go live — usually within the first couple of weeks.
Report & improve
Every month you get a simple report on leads and results, plus what we will improve next.
Will the site go offline while you move it?
Usually there is little or no visible downtime, because the new site is completely ready before DNS changes.
We run a busy WooCommerce store. Can you move it safely?
Yes. We plan a short freeze on changes, or a final sync of new orders, so nothing placed during the switch goes missing.
Will we drop in Google?
A host move on the same domain shouldn't affect rankings. With a domain or URL change, correct redirects and Search Console updates cut the risk a lot.
Which hosts can you move us to?
Most of them, including Hostinger, SiteGround, Kinsta, WP Engine, Cloudways, GoDaddy and any server with SSH or cPanel access.
How long does it take to build a business website?
A simple website often takes two to four weeks. Bigger sites and online stores take longer. Much depends on how fast we get your content and feedback.
Will my website show up on Google?
We build it to be search friendly from day one. It loads fast, works well on mobile and has proper headings, titles and descriptions.
