What you get

How WordPress migration services in Vancouver actually works

Concrete deliverables — no vague SaaS jargon. Each engagement is sized to your business and reviewed monthly.

Pre-flight audit

PHP version fit, disk space, cron jobs, and odd mu-plugins surfaced before moving day.

Staging copy

Clone to the new host, fix path issues, and test admin, forms, and checkout before cutover.

DNS & TTL

Lower TTL ahead of time when possible, plan apex vs www, and document what flips when.

SSL

Certificates, mixed content, and HSTS decisions validated on staging first.

Redirects

Permalink and domain changes mapped; 404 checks after launch.

Go-live testing

Login flows, payments, caching, and Search Console property updates — with a rollback path if something is off.

Our process

Migration steps we follow

  1. 1

    Audit

    Inventory size, sensitive plugins, and any multisite or subdirectory quirks.

  2. 2

    Backup

    Full files + database export with a verified restore test when the data matters.

  3. 3

    Stage

    Import to new hosting, update URLs, fix paths, and run through critical user journeys.

  4. 4

    DNS plan

    TTL, MX/SPF/DKIM for email, and cutover window agreed with stakeholders.

  5. 5

    Cutover

    Flip DNS or proxy, monitor errors, and keep the old environment read-only for a safe window.

  6. 6

    Post-launch

    Redirect validation, Search Console, performance spot check, and decommission plan for the old host.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you move email too?
We review MX and mailbox hosting before touching DNS. If email lives elsewhere, we plan so cutover does not break delivery.
Will there be downtime?
We aim for minimal or zero visible downtime using staging and controlled DNS/proxy cutover. Some DNS propagation delay is normal.
What if the site is huge?
We chunk transfers, use efficient sync tools, and schedule quiet windows for final database syncs on busy stores.
Do you migrate multisite?
Yes, with extra mapping for domains and upload paths — scoped after a quick technical review.
