How to move a WordPress site with no downtime

Move WordPress safely: copy, test on a temporary address, lower the DNS TTL, switch, check, then cancel the old host. Or let us move it for free.

A good move is about the order of the steps: copy, test, switch DNS, check, and only then cancel the old host.

A website moving between servers.

Step by step

  1. Copy

    Copy the files and database to the new host, or ask us for a free migration. Keep the old host running.

  2. Test

    Check the copy on a temporary address: pages, forms, logins and checkout.

  3. Switch DNS

    Lower the TTL a day in advance, then point DNS to the new host.

  4. Check and cancel

    Watch for errors, confirm email and SSL, then cancel the old plan.

We move websites to our hosting free of charge.
