WordPress Migration & Transfer
A WordPress migration done right is invisible: same URLs, same rankings, no downtime, nothing missing.
I’ve moved sites between hosts, domains, and server stacks for years, and the details are what separate a clean move from a broken one — serialized data that a naive search-replace corrupts, hard-coded paths in theme settings, SSL and DNS cutover timing, and 301 mapping when URLs must change. You get a full pre-migration backup, a tested copy running on the new environment before DNS ever changes, and a checked-off verification list afterward.

Common questions about this service
No. I keep your old site running until the new one is fully set up and tested. The DNS switch is the only step that can cause brief propagation delays, but I manage this to minimize impact.
Yes, I migrate the complete database including all WooCommerce orders, customers, products, subscriptions, and settings. Everything transfers intact.
Yes, I can migrate content from platforms like Wix, Squarespace, Joomla, or Drupal to WordPress. The process involves content restructuring and may require additional time.
If your email is tied to your hosting, I'll help migrate email accounts and configure them on the new host. If you use external email (like Google Workspace), it won't be affected.
Yes, regularly. Managed hosts add their own wrinkles — proprietary must-use plugins that have to be stripped out, platform-specific caching layers, and export tools that don't include everything. I know what each platform leaves behind, rebuild the caching setup on your new host so performance doesn't drop, and verify the site is genuinely self-contained before the switch.
