Migrations

Moving shouldn't be difficult.

Let WebVue Cloud handle the migration while your existing website remains online. The process is designed to minimise or avoid downtime, and nothing switches until you have approved the copy.

The process

Six steps, and you approve the fifth.

01
Request migration
Send the domain and current host details.
02
We copy your website
A full copy of files and database is built on our platform.
03
We test everything
Pages, forms, checkout, mail and redirects.
04
You approve
You review the copy before anything changes.
05
DNS is switched
Records updated at a time that suits you.
06
You're live
We watch the first days closely and fix anything that surfaces.
What moves

Everything that makes the site work.

Files and media
The full uploads directory, themes and plugins.
Database
Content, users, orders and settings.
Redirects
Existing rules carried over so SEO does not break.
SSL
New certificates issued before the switch.
DNS records
Reviewed as a whole, not just the A record.
Email routing
MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC checked so mail keeps flowing.
Cron jobs
Scheduled tasks recreated on the platform.
Staging copy
A staging environment set up at the same time.
Email migration

Mailboxes move too.

Moving to Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or Titan is where most businesses lose mail. We plan the cutover instead of flipping MX and hoping.

01
Audit what exists
Current mailboxes, aliases, forwarders and records.
02
Provision the new tenant
Accounts created and the domain verified.
03
Sync the mail
Messages, folders, contacts and calendars copied across.
04
Cut over and re-sync
MX switched, then a final sync catches anything in flight.
FAQ

Migration questions.

If something here is unclear, a person will answer it properly rather than sending you a link.

Ask us directly
A standard WordPress site is usually ready for review within one to two working days. Large stores and portfolios take longer because the testing is longer. We give you a date before we start.
It is designed not to. Your current site keeps serving traffic while we build and test the copy. The only sensitive moment is the DNS switch, which we schedule with you at a quiet hour.
The domain, access to the current host, and access to the DNS provider. For stores, a contact who can confirm checkout works as expected.
In almost all cases, yes, including cPanel hosts, other managed platforms and self-managed servers. If we find something we cannot move cleanly, we tell you before you commit.
No, but portfolios are scheduled in waves so each site still gets tested properly.
The old environment is left in place for a short period, and we keep a restore point. If something surfaces, we fix it; if it cannot be fixed quickly, we can point DNS back.

Website migration services for WordPress and WooCommerce

Moving a website to a new hosting environment involves more than copying its files. A migration may include the website database, media library, domain and DNS settings, email considerations, and checks for themes, plugins, integrations, and other configuration details. WebVue Cloud provides website migration services as part of its managed hosting offering for WordPress sites, WooCommerce stores, agencies, and small and medium-sized businesses.

The migration approach depends on the website and its destination service. WordPress and WooCommerce projects may require attention to content, store data, forms, user accounts, payment-related settings, and scheduled tasks. Reviewing these areas helps identify what should be transferred and what should be checked after the move. Businesses should also consider the timing of DNS changes and any email services connected to the domain.

WebVue Cloud’s hosting services include managed WordPress hosting, managed WooCommerce hosting, and agency hosting. After a site is moved, related services such as performance optimization, security, backups, CDN and edge protection, and infrastructure monitoring may be relevant to its ongoing management. These capabilities address different parts of operating a website, so the appropriate setup depends on the site’s platform, business use, and hosting requirements.

To discuss a migration, provide information about the current website, its platform, the intended hosting service, domain and email arrangements, and any timing considerations. WebVue Cloud can then help clarify the relevant migration requirements and hosting options. Pricing and service details should be confirmed through the applicable plan or contact information before work begins.

What types of websites can WebVue Cloud help migrate?

WebVue Cloud provides migration services for websites associated with its managed hosting focus, including WordPress sites, WooCommerce businesses, agency-managed websites, and SME websites. The specific requirements depend on the site and its current setup.

Does a website migration include business email?

Email arrangements should be reviewed separately as part of the migration planning process. WebVue Cloud offers business email options including Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Titan Email, but the applicable email work and plan details should be confirmed for the individual project.

What information is useful when requesting a migration?

Useful information includes the website platform, current hosting setup, domain and DNS arrangements, email service, site type, and any preferred timing. These details help clarify the scope of the website migration and the most relevant managed hosting option.
