Common questions about WordPress migration services.
FAQs
What's the difference between migrating my WordPress site and migrating to WordPress from another platform?
Moving an existing WordPress site to new hosting or a new domain is a host-to-host migration — the platform stays the same. Migrating from Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, or another CMS into WordPress involves rebuilding content and structure in WordPress itself. Both use the same core safeguards, but the second involves more content mapping work.
Will migrating my site affect my Google rankings?
It can, if URLs change without redirects, or if indexing signals get lost in the move. We can’t guarantee zero ranking loss, since Google’s re-crawling and re-evaluation is outside anyone’s direct control, but we build a full redirect map, preserve URL structure wherever possible, and monitor Search Console after launch to catch issues early.
How long does a WordPress migration take, and is there downtime?
Most migrations are staged and tested before the live cutover, so visitor-facing downtime is typically minutes, not hours — limited to the DNS or final sync step. Total project timelines usually run 1 to 3 weeks depending on site size and whether you’re changing platforms.
What happens if something goes wrong during the migration?
We take a full backup of the live site before any changes begin, and keep the original environment untouched until the new one is verified. If a serious issue appears post-launch, we can revert DNS or hosting back to the original setup while we resolve it. For ongoing issues after launch, see Website Technical Support
Do you handle DNS and SSL during a domain or hosting move?
Yes. We plan the DNS cutover, including lowering TTLs in advance to shorten propagation, reissue and validate SSL certificates on the new host, and confirm MX records so email keeps working through the transition.
Can you migrate a large or multisite WordPress installation?
Yes. Large catalogs, multisite networks, and consolidations of several WordPress installs into one are handled with the same staged process, scaled to the size of the database and media library involved. For platform-agnostic migration guidance beyond WordPress, see Website Migration .
