APPROACH

What is a WordPress website migration?

A WordPress migration moves an existing website from one hosting environment, server or domain configuration to another while preserving the website’s files, database, content and required functionality. A reliable migration also accounts for DNS, SSL, email dependencies, redirects, integrations, analytics and search visibility before the new environment becomes public.

Moving a website is more than copying files

A WordPress website is connected to more than its hosting account.

Its database, media, URLs, DNS, SSL, forms, email delivery, analytics, integrations, caching and search configuration may all depend on the current environment.

We review those dependencies before the move, prepare the destination environment and migrate the website through a controlled process.

After the switch, we verify the production site again rather than assuming that a successful file transfer means the migration is complete.

The objective is simple: move the website while preserving the systems the business already relies on.

Change the environment.
Keep the website intact.

We migrate WordPress websites with the content, URLs, data and functionality that matter accounted for — so changing infrastructure does not mean rebuilding what already works.

WHAT WE BUILD

What we handle during a WordPress migration

The exact migration plan depends on where the website is moving and what is connected to it. We identify those dependencies before making the switch.
01

Hosting Migration

Move an existing WordPress website to a new hosting environment with its database, uploads, themes, plugins and configuration preserved.
02

Domain & URL Migration

Move a website to a new domain or URL structure with careful handling of internal references, redirects and other dependencies affected by the change.
03

Database & Media Migration

Transfer WordPress data and media while accounting for serialized data, environment-specific URLs and other database references that can break during an uncontrolled migration.
04

DNS, SSL & Production Setup

Prepare the production environment, SSL and required domain configuration and coordinate the final switch when the migrated website is ready.
05

SEO & Redirect Preservation

Existing public URLs, canonicals, metadata and indexation requirements are reviewed, with redirects prepared where a migration requires URLs to change.
06

Post-Migration QA

After the move, we verify pages, forms, links, integrations, analytics and other critical functionality in the production environment.
DEEP DIVE

A migration should be uneventful. That takes preparation.

The best website migration is the one users barely notice. Achieving that means understanding the existing environment, its dependencies and the risks of the move before production traffic is switched.
01 / AUDIT AND PREPARATION

Know what is moving

Before migrating the website, we review the existing WordPress installation and the environment around it. That can include the WordPress version, database, themes, plugins, uploads, custom code, caching, forms, email delivery, analytics and external integrations. We also identify services that may not technically live inside WordPress but still depend on the website or domain.

This gives us a clearer picture of what must continue working after the migration and what needs to be tested before the old environment is retired.

The new environment should be ready before production traffic is moved.

We prepare the destination installation, review relevant server configuration and verify that the migrated website can operate correctly in its new environment. Where possible, the website is tested before DNS or production routing changes.

This separates the technical migration from the public switch and gives us an opportunity to identify problems while the existing website remains available.

02 / DATA

Move more than what you can see

A WordPress website is not simply a collection of pages.

Content, settings, users, custom fields, plugin data and other information are stored in the database, while media and application files exist separately.

URLs and environment-specific values may also be stored throughout that data.

We account for these dependencies during migration so the new installation reflects the actual website rather than only reproducing its visible files.

03 / SEO

Preserve the URLs that already matter

A hosting migration does not necessarily require public URLs to change. A domain or structural migration may.

Before launch, we identify important existing URLs and determine which should remain unchanged and where redirects are required.

We also review relevant canonical, indexation and internal-link behaviour when the migration affects the public URL structure.

The objective is to avoid creating unnecessary broken paths or conflicting signals simply because the technical environment has changed.

04 / CUTOVER

Control the move to production

Once the migrated website has been prepared and tested, we plan the production switch.

Depending on the migration, this can involve DNS changes, SSL configuration, cache clearing and final synchronisation of data that changed while the migration was being prepared.

Timing matters when a website receives enquiries, orders, registrations or other frequently changing data.

The cutover plan is adapted to the website rather than treating every migration as the same copy-and-replace operation.

05 / VERIFICATION

Test again after the website is live

A website working correctly in staging does not guarantee that every production dependency will behave the same way.

After the migration, we verify key pages, navigation, forms, email delivery, integrations, analytics and other critical functionality in the live environment.

We also check for broken links, unexpected redirects and environment-specific issues.

Only then can the migration be treated as complete.

PROCESS

How we migrate WordPress websites

We separate preparation, migration and production cutover so problems can be identified before they affect the live website.
01

Audit & Migration Plan

We review the existing WordPress installation, hosting environment, domain configuration and critical dependencies and define what needs to move.
02

Destination Preparation

We prepare the new environment, migrate the required website data and verify the installation before the production switch.
03

Migration & Cutover

We complete the required data synchronisation, domain or DNS changes, SSL configuration and redirects and move traffic to the new environment.
04

Production QA

We test the live website, forms, links, integrations, analytics and critical functionality and resolve migration-related issues identified after launch.

FAQ

WordPress Migration FAQs

Yes. We can move an existing WordPress website to a new hosting environment while preserving its database, media, themes, plugins and required configuration. We review the current setup first to identify dependencies that need to be handled during the migration.
We aim to keep disruption to a minimum by preparing and testing the website in the destination environment before the final switch. The exact cutover process depends on the hosting, DNS configuration and whether the website contains frequently changing data.
Yes. A domain migration requires additional handling because public URLs change. We can update the WordPress configuration and relevant internal references and prepare redirects from old URLs where required.
A hosting-only migration does not necessarily require changes to public URLs, but domain or URL changes can affect search visibility if they are handled incorrectly. We review existing URLs and technical SEO requirements and prepare redirects where necessary.
Yes. The migration approach depends on the size of the database and media library, custom functionality, integrations and how frequently the website data changes. Complex migrations are assessed before the production move is planned.
