Professional WordPress Migration

WordPress site migration done properly — zero downtime, full data, protected SEO.

A WordPress migration sounds simple: copy the files, move the database, update the DNS. In reality, this process requires database serialized data conversion, redirect management, SSL configuration on the new host, and careful DNS timing to prevent any downtime. Done wrong, migrations cause hours of outage and permanent SEO damage.

Case Study: The WooCommerce Migration That Nearly Destroyed 3 Years of Orders

SymptomA wholesale supplier used a hosting company's "free migration" service to move their WooCommerce store to a faster server. The migration appeared successful. Two days later, they discovered their order history was incomplete, orders from the last six months were missing from the database.

ResolutionThe hosting company's migration tool had migrated the initial database correctly, but the WooCommerce order tables used a non-standard database prefix that the tool hadn't included in the export. Six months of orders existed only on the old server, which was scheduled for deletion.

Business Impact

We recovered the missing order tables from the old server before deletion, merged them correctly with the migrated database, verified data integrity against their accounting records, and implemented a proper backup monitoring system. A complete data loss was narrowly avoided.

Common questions

Questions answered.

How long does a WordPress migration take?

A standard single-site migration with staging verification and DNS cutover takes 4–8 hours of work spread over 24–48 hours (to allow DNS propagation time). WooCommerce stores or large media libraries take longer.

Will there be any downtime?

Our process is designed for zero perceived downtime. We complete and verify the migration on the new host before cutting over DNS. During DNS propagation (1–24 hours), both old and new servers are active.

Do I need to cancel my old hosting immediately?

No. Keep your old hosting active for at least 30 days after migration as a safety net. We'll advise you when it's safe to cancel.

Will migrating to a new host improve my site's speed?

Potentially. If your current hosting is under-resourced, migrating to a better-provisioned host will improve TTFB. We benchmark performance before and after and advise on hosting configuration.
