WordPress website migration
Migrating a WordPress site can be a perilous operation. Relieve yourself of this burden by entrusting it to our WordPress specialists.
Migrating a WordPress site can be a real challenge. Between the risk of data loss, technical errors and extended downtime, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
Eventually, you could end up with a poorly optimized site, resulting in lower SEO and a poor user experience.
Some migrations are simpler than others, but it’s still stressful and risky when you’re unfamiliar with the process.
Fortunately, WPSitter is here to help you migrate your site without worry.
But before we go any further, which migration do you need?
The 4 main types of WordPress migration
Migration to a new host
This type of migration involves moving your entire WordPress site from one host to another. This may be for reasons such as poor performance, reliability issues, unsatisfactory technical support or high costs.
Domain name migration
When you want to change the domain name of your WordPress site, a domain migration is necessary. This may be due to rebranding, a company merger, or a change in marketing or communications strategy.
Internal migration
Sometimes, you may decide to move a WordPress site to a subdomain (or subdirectory) or vice versa (to the main domain). This may be for organizational reasons, to reorganize the site structure, or to simplify access to content.
Migration from another CMS
If your site uses a third-party CMS and you want to switch to WordPress, a CMS migration is necessary. This process involves restructuring and converting your existing content, pages and functionality to the WordPress-compatible format.
The list is not exhaustive. Other types of WordPress migrations exist. These include:
- HTTP to HTTPS migration: Moving from the unsecured HTTP version to the secured HTTPS version;
- Migration from or to a local site: Move your WordPress site from a local development environment to an online server (or vice versa);
- Database migration: Transfer only the WordPress database to a destination site;
- Content migration: Migrate only a specific part of the content of one WordPress site to another (articles, pages, orders, etc.);
- Multisite migration: Move a WordPress multisite network to a new location, split a multisite network into individual WordPress sites, or merge several sites into a multisite network.
Each type of migration presents its own challenges and specific technical requirements.
WPSitter will carefully plan your WordPress migration project so you can focus on the essentials (not the technicalities).
