WordPress Migration

Moving your WordPress website to new hosting? We migrate your complete website — files, database and email — without downtime.

Migrating a WordPress website sounds simple — copy some files, move a database — but anyone who has done it knows the pitfalls: broken URLs, missing images, serialised data corruption, email that stops working, DNS timing issues and the dreaded midnight downtime. A professional WordPress migration by WP Maintainer eliminates all of these risks. We move your complete website to its new home without downtime and without data loss.

Reasons to migrate vary: your current hosting is too slow, support is poor, prices keep rising, or you simply want everything under one roof. Whatever the reason, the migration itself should never be the stressful part. Our process is refined over hundreds of migrations: we copy your website, test it exhaustively on the new server, and only then switch the DNS — during low-traffic hours, with a rollback plan ready.

Our migration service is complete: all website files, the complete database, email accounts and messages, SSL certificates, DNS records and any cron jobs or server configurations. After the migration we verify every page, form and integration. Your visitors notice nothing — except that the website suddenly feels faster.

Migrating to WP Maintainer hosting is always free when you take a maintenance plan. We also migrate to third-party hosting for a fixed fee, and we are happy to advise which hosting actually fits your website — honestly, even when that is not us.

Frequently Asked Questions

6 questions about wordpress migration

How long does a WordPress migration take?+
Most migrations are completed within 24 to 48 hours, including testing. Complex webshops or multisites can take a bit longer. We always give you a concrete timeline upfront.
Will my website be offline during migration?+
No. We build and test your website on the new server while the old one keeps running. The DNS switch is seamless — visitors are simply served by the new server from one moment to the next.
What does a migration cost?+
Migration to our own hosting is free with a maintenance plan. Migration to third-party hosting costs a fixed fee between €150 and €400 depending on complexity. You always get the price upfront.
Is my email also migrated?+
Yes, including existing messages, folders and forwarders. We coordinate the timing so no email is lost during the switch.
Will I lose my Google rankings?+
No. Because URLs, content and structure stay identical, migrations do not affect rankings. A faster server often improves them. We monitor your rankings after the migration.
Can you migrate my WooCommerce shop?+
Yes, we specialise in webshop migrations including orders, customer accounts and payment gateway configurations. The shop stays open throughout.
