How We Move Your Site

Every job follows the same careful steps, so you always know what is happening on your site.

Request This Service
  1. Plan the move

    We check both servers and agree a cutover time with you.

    A complete copy of your site goes to the new host.

  3. Update URLs

    Links, images, and settings are updated for the new address.

  5. Cut over and verify

    We switch over and confirm everything works on the live address.

FAQ

WordPress Migration: Common Questions

Will my site go down during the move?

Downtime is usually minimal because the new copy is tested before the switch. DNS changes can take a few hours to reach everyone.

Do you migrate email?

This service covers the WordPress site. Email accounts are usually handled by your email or hosting provider, and we can advise on the steps.

Do I need to give you my password?

Not when you submit the request. If we need access, we arrange temporary access through a secure channel after the scope is confirmed. You can remove it as soon as the work is done.

When do I pay?

Only after we review your request and confirm the scope and price with you. Submitting a request is free.
