Website migration service
Moving WordPress to a new host or changing domain is where sites break, rankings drop and email quietly stops working. Our WordPress migration service moves the whole site, rebuilds it on a staging copy you approve, and only switches you over once every page checks out.
You approve the copy before anything changes for your visitors.
Hosting, DNS, email, SSL, plugins and anything custom. Surprises during a move are almost always things nobody checked beforehand.
The full site is rebuilt on the new host where you can click through it, so you see it working before the world does.
Records cut over with the old site still live, which is why there is no window where visitors see nothing.
Links, forms, checkout, email and redirects verified on the new host, then we watch it for the first few days.
There is no list of providers we work with, because it does not matter what you are on now or where you want to end up. We have moved sites off shared hosting nobody has updated since 2016, and off enterprise platforms that turned out to be overkill.
Move onto our own servers in London or Dallas, move to a provider you have already chosen, or stay where you are on a better plan. We will tell you honestly if the move is not worth making.
Pay for the migration on its own, or move onto a plan so the new setup stays looked after.

Every one of these is something we have been called in to undo.
A site offline for hours while DNS propagates, usually because the cutover was done before the new host was ready.
PHP version, server settings and plugins that worked fine on the old host and fail immediately on the new one.
Broken internal links, missing redirects and 404s that Google finds before you do, taking rankings down with them.
Half-copied databases, missing uploads and orders that never made it across, discovered weeks later.
The most commonly forgotten part of a move. DNS changes and suddenly nothing sends or arrives.
Old files left behind on the new host, or credentials copied across unchanged from a setup that was already compromised.
People whose sites we picked up and put down somewhere better.
Aswanth was marvellous, as was the whole team! They did a magnificent job upgrading and migrating my website! I cannot rate them highly enough!
Thank you, SiteAim , you’ve made a huge difference.
They helped us update our website and guided us on what to do and how to troubleshoot things when we overlooked something.
Not extras, and not billed separately afterwards.
We cross-check every record first so email and anything else connected to the domain stays working.
Certificates issued and applied on the new host, with mixed content fixed rather than left throwing warnings.
Most sites are faster on better infrastructure. We measure it and tell you what else is holding it back.
We stay on it after the switch rather than handing you the keys and disappearing.
After the move
Moving to better infrastructure solves speed and reliability problems caused by the old host. It does not update your plugins, take backups or watch for an attack.
Our WordPress maintenance plans pick up from there, and managed hosting is included in the monthly fee, so the site you just moved stays in the state you moved it into.
See WordPress maintenance plansNew host, same plugins. They go out of date at exactly the same rate as before.
A fresh install does not mean a backup schedule. Most hosts keep far less than you would expect.
Faster hosting does not tell you the site is down at three in the morning.
A site optimised once slowly fills with plugins and unoptimised images until it is slow again.
The questions people ask before letting anyone move their site.
Ask us anythingNo. Your site stays online throughout. The old site keeps serving visitors right up until the new one is verified and DNS cuts over.
It depends on the size of the site and how quickly the old host releases the files. Most are done well within 24 hours, small sites in under an hour.
Straight away. You are assigned a migration engineer who contacts you and begins the move rather than scheduling it for later in the week.
Yes. We look at the setup before touching anything, so custom themes, bespoke plugins and unusual server requirements are known about in advance.
Yes, and we do it as standard. Records are cross-checked beforehand so email and anything else on the domain does not drop out during the move.
We stay with it after the cutover, and if we cannot deliver the move we described, you pay nothing.
Not when the move is done properly. Rankings drop after a migration because URLs change without redirects, pages get left behind or the new host is slower. We keep the URL structure intact, map redirects where a domain does change, and check the new host responds faster than the old one before cutting over.
For a small site with no shop and no custom code, often yes. Migration plugins struggle once a site is large, runs WooCommerce with live orders, or has email on the same domain, and those are the moves where something quietly breaks and nobody notices for weeks.
Yes. Orders placed during the move are the part people get wrong. We sync the database again right before the cutover, so nothing placed while the transfer is running is lost, and we test checkout and order emails on the new host before you go live.
