I will migrate wordpress to a new host with zero downtime


About this gig
Moving hosts? I'll safely transfer your WordPress site files, database, and settings to your new server with a tested staging copy and a planned DNS cutover for near-zero downtime.
I handle end-to-end WordPress migrations with a focus on safety, speed, and clarity.
You'll get a verified backup, a clean transfer, and a planned DNS cutover for near-zero downtime.
For complex sites (WooCommerce, LMS, memberships), I coordinate a maintenance window and perform extra validation so carts, checkouts, and webhooks keep working.
What I do
- Audit current + target hosting (cPanel/Plesk/SSH/SFTP)
- Full site & database backup
- Staging build (Standard/Premium) for your approval
- URL updates, media paths, wp-config & salts, cron, cache
- SSL + HTTPS redirects (when supported)
- DNS cutover plan: reduce TTL, schedule switch, verify propagation
- Post-go-live QA: login, pages, forms, search, 404s, sitemap, robots
- Report on what changed + credentials you retain
Tech I work with: cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, Nginx/Apache, Cloudflare, LiteSpeed, MariaDB/MySQL, popular builders (Elementor, Divi, WPBakery), WooCommerce, LMS.

FAQ
Will there be downtime?
I plan a low-TTL DNS cutover and validate on staging first. The live switch typically causes only a brief transition—most users won’t notice. For high-traffic stores, we use a maintenance window and, where feasible, a delta-sync of recent data.
Can you migrate my email too?
Website migration is separate from email. I can help advise or migrate inboxes as an extra if both providers support IMAP/tenant tools.
Do you need my passwords?
Collaborator access is preferred (cPanel/host/Cloudflare). If credentials are needed, please share temporary ones; you can change them after completion.
What about SEO and permalinks?
I preserve your permalink structure, update URLs, and check sitemaps/robots. No SEO loss is expected.
Do you work with WordPress.com → cPanel/other hosts?
Yes—process differs slightly; I’ll handle the export/import and theme/plugin considerations.
Can you move WooCommerce without losing orders?
Yes, on Premium we coordinate a window, freeze writes, and perform final DB sync steps where feasible to minimize order/session issues.
My site is huge (>10GB). Is that okay?
Yes, choose Standard or Premium depending on complexity. I may use SSH/rsync for speed and reliability.
Can you fix issues found after migration?
Yes, each package includes post-go-live support (3/7/14 days). I’ll resolve migration-related issues within scope.
What if my theme/plugins are licensed?
You’ll need valid keys at the new host. I’ll prompt where reactivation is required.
Can you move from/to any control panel?
Yes—cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, or custom stacks via SSH/SFTP.
