WordPress Migration Service
We’ll safely migrate your WordPress website to another hosting company or to a new WordPress website with existing host.
Migration Process
Your website is transferred in 4 steps
1. Website Backup
We'll make a full backup of your website. Before we transfer your website to its new hosting provider we will make a full backup of your WordPress installation including the core, theme, plugin files, and database.
2. Transfer
We'll migrate your website to your new host. Once we have a complete back up of your website, the next step in the migration process is to transfer your files and database to your new hosting provider.
3. Update Domain
As soon as we have uploaded your website files and imported your database, we'll be ready to update your DNS settings to point your domain name to your new hosting provider.
4. Configure
If you are using the same domain name, reconfiguring your website to work with your new hosting provider is faster than a totally new domain. A new domain requires more work.

FAQ
+ How much downtime will I experience?
Our aim is to keep downtime to a minimum. Your downtime depends on how long your domain’s DNS needs to propagate. In other words, it is a period of time ISP (Internet service provider) nodes around the world take to update their records with your domain’s new DNS information. This normally takes between 24hrs to 48hrs depending on where you are in the world. We suggest transferring your website when your site is least active.
+ What about my email addresses?
If you created an email address with your old hosting provider you will need up re-create the email address with your new provider. The same applies if you have any email forwarders installed. If you are working with a third party service, you will need to update the respective service settings.
+ Can I change my domain name?
Yes, we can transfer your site to a new host and configure your WordPress website to work with a new domain.
+ Can you transfer to any hosting provider?
Yes, as long as the hosting company supports WordPress’s requirements. To double check, we suggest contacting the hosting company before signing up to their services. If you not sure which hosting provider to choose, we recommend Vodien.
