Want to change hosting but worried about breaking your website?
Moving a WordPress website isn't just copying a few files.
Your database, plugins, themes, media, configuration, SSL certificate and domain all need to work correctly on the new server.
We handle the migration from start to finish while keeping your existing website available during the transition.
Move your website. Keep your business online.
✓ WordPress files
✓ WordPress database
✓ Themes
✓ Plugins
✓ Media library
✓ Website configuration
✓ URLs and paths
✓ Relevant server configuration
✓ SSL / HTTPS setup
✓ Domain connection / DNS switch
✓ Final website testing
The goal is simple:
Your website on the old host → Your website working correctly on the new host.
We prepare and test the website on the new hosting environment before switching the domain over.
Your existing website remains available while the new copy is being prepared.
Once the migrated website has been tested, we perform the agreed DNS/domain transition.
This approach is designed to minimize interruption and avoid unnecessary downtime during the migration.
Before making significant changes, we create or verify an appropriate backup where access allows it.
This gives us a recovery point if something unexpected happens.
We don't intentionally remove the working website first and hope the migration succeeds afterward.
The new environment is prepared before the final switch.
1. Purchase the service
Complete your order through eBay.
2. Send us the hosting details
Through eBay Messages, provide information about:
• Your current WordPress website
• Current hosting provider
• New hosting provider
• Domain configuration
• Any unusual website requirements
We'll explain what access is required.
3. We prepare the migration
We create or verify a backup and prepare the new hosting environment.
4. We migrate the website
We transfer the relevant files, database, configuration and WordPress installation to the new host.
5. We test before switching
We check the migrated website on the new environment before the final domain transition.
6. We switch the domain
Once the new copy is ready, we perform the agreed DNS/domain changes so visitors are directed to the new hosting environment.
7. Final checks
We verify the website after the transition and check the agreed functionality.
Depending on the website:
✓ Homepage and important pages
✓ WordPress admin access
✓ Images and media
✓ Internal links
✓ Forms
✓ Plugins
✓ Theme functionality
✓ Database connection
✓ HTTPS / SSL
✓ Redirect behavior
✓ Basic mobile functionality
✓ Other important agreed website functions
• Are unhappy with your current hosting
• Have a slow WordPress website
• Found a better hosting provider
• Want more server resources
• Are moving to managed WordPress hosting
• Want to leave an expensive hosting plan
• Need to move a client website
• Don't want to risk migrating WordPress yourself
Where supported by the new hosting environment, we configure or verify the SSL certificate and HTTPS behavior as part of the website transition.
Your migrated website should not suddenly start displaying unnecessary browser security warnings because the hosting changed.
The final stage is connecting your domain to the new hosting environment.
We handle the agreed website-related DNS changes carefully because your domain may also be connected to other services.
Mailbox / business email migration is NOT included in this WordPress migration service unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
Your domain may use services such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or another email provider.
We avoid intentionally replacing unrelated email DNS records when switching the website.
If your email accounts also need to be migrated to another provider, that is a separate service and should be scoped separately.
Depending on the website and agreed scope:
• Full WordPress website migration
• Files transferred
• Database transferred
• Plugins and themes transferred
• Media transferred
• Configuration updated
• SSL / HTTPS setup or verification
• Domain / DNS transition
• Migration testing
• Post-migration checks
• Backup / rollback point where applicable
This listing covers one standard WordPress website migration between two hosting environments within the agreed scope.
Very large websites, multisite installations, complex server configurations, custom infrastructure or websites with unusual technical requirements may require additional work.
Third-party hosting fees, domain fees, premium licenses and other external service costs are not included.
The buyer must have authorized access to both the existing and destination hosting environments.
A hosting migration should be boring.
No panic.
No disappearing website.
No wondering whether the database made it across.
We prepare the destination, move the website, test it and then handle the transition.
Same website.
New hosting.
Safe transition.
