Move your site without it going down.
A plan to move a WordPress site to new hosting: full copy, test before switching, domain switch, and checks on links, forms and email after.
Moving a site looks simple until forms stop or email disappears. We plan it so the new site works before the domain switches.
- Full backup
- Test before switch
- Domain switch
- Post-move checks
Steps
- Full copy of files and database.
- Run and test the site on the new host.
- Switch the domain at a low-traffic time.
- Check links, forms, email and SSL.
- Keep the old copy for a few days.
