WordPress Migration

Move your
website.
Keep control.

WordPress migration is more than moving files from one server to another. A successful migration keeps your content, functionality, URLs, database, media and important website settings working correctly in the new environment.

Migration Control

Everything that
needs to move.

A migration involves several connected parts of a WordPress website. The transfer needs to account for the files, database, media, configuration and functionality that make the website work.

Migration Components

Move the system,
not just the files.

Different migration projects have different requirements. We account for the parts of your WordPress installation that need to remain connected after the move.

01 / CONTENT
DB

Database

Pages, posts, settings, users, WooCommerce data and other database-driven content.

02 / ASSETS
IMG

Media & Files

Images, documents, uploads, theme files, plugins and other website assets.

03 / SYSTEM
CFG

Configuration

Relevant WordPress configuration, environment settings and server-specific requirements.

04 / EXPERIENCE
UX

Functionality

Forms, integrations, custom functionality and important user journeys that need verification.

Migration Journey

Five stages.
One controlled move.

The migration process is structured so the new environment can be prepared and checked before the existing website is switched over.

01

Audit

Review the existing WordPress installation, hosting environment and migration requirements.

02

Prepare

Prepare the destination environment and establish the migration path.

03

Transfer

Move the WordPress files, database, media and required configuration.

04

Verify

Check pages, forms, links, functionality, responsive layouts and important flows.

05

Switch

Complete the transition to the new environment and verify the live website.

URLs & Website Structure

A new server
shouldn't mean
a new website.

A migration can affect more than hosting. Domain configuration, URLs, redirects, media paths, forms, integrations and other website dependencies need to be considered during the transition.

WordPress migration involves moving an existing website from one hosting environment, server or domain configuration to another. The process can include transferring WordPress core files, themes, plugins, databases, media libraries and configuration.

A carefully planned WordPress migration helps reduce disruption during the transition. Before switching environments, important website functionality can be reviewed so that pages, forms, ecommerce functionality, integrations and other essential components continue to work correctly.

WebProxima can help with WordPress website migrations between hosting providers, servers and development environments, including projects that require additional configuration or technical troubleshooting.
