Process<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

How your WordPress migration works<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Your website keeps running throughout the entire migration. We only switch over once everything has been checked on the new server.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

01<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Choose a plan<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Hosting Basic, Plus or Enterprise \u2013 booked online, server location Germany, Switzerland or Helsinki, no setup fee.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

02<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Provide access credentials<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

You give us the access credentials for your current hosting via an encrypted link. We need nothing more.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

03<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Migration and testing<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We copy the website, database and emails and check everything in a staging environment \u2013 your old website keeps running in the meantime.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

04<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Switchover<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Only once everything works do we switch the domain. Afterwards you can cancel your old hosting at your leisure.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Everything that comes along in a WordPress migration<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A migration is more than copying files. We take care of everything that typically goes wrong.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

DNS without downtime<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We plan the DNS switchover so that visitors move seamlessly to the new server \u2013 without a maintenance page.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Backup before the migration<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Before we start, we back up the complete state of your website. Should the worst happen, nothing is lost.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Checks afterwards<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

After the switchover, we thoroughly check forms, shop functions, redirects and loading time once more.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Guide<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Migrating WordPress yourself: what matters<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Anyone migrating a WordPress website themselves often underestimates the details. These are the most common stumbling blocks:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

URLs in the database<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

WordPress stores addresses in many places in the database, partly in serialized form. A simple search and replace damages this data \u2013 page builder layouts or widget settings are then lost.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

DNS and email<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

When the domain is switched, the MX records for email must also be correct. A TTL that is too long means visitors keep landing on the old server for a long time. That is why we lower the TTL in good time before the migration.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

SSL, caching and redirects<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

After the migration, the website needs a valid SSL certificate, caches must be cleared and existing redirects carried over. If the domain changes as well, 301 redirects are essential to preserve your Google rankings.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Want to spare yourself the effort? With our WordPress hosting<\/a>, the migration is included free of charge \u2013 with a server location in Germany, Helsinki or Switzerland<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n
