Website Migration Specialist
Professional WordPress website migration service for moving, restoring, transferring, or recovering WordPress websites with a safer and more controlled workflow.
Suitable for host-to-host migration, domain changes, backup restore, same-domain transfers, website recovery, and WordPress site moves where files, database, URLs, SSL, hosting limits, and configuration need careful handling.
What does a website migration specialist do?
A website migration specialist helps move a website from one host, domain, or installation to another while reducing the risk of broken files, database errors, URL problems, missing content, login issues, or SEO-related disruption.
For WordPress websites, migration work usually includes handling website files, database data, media uploads, plugins, themes, URLs, table prefixes, SSL readiness, hosting limits, and post-migration checks.
This service is designed for WordPress website owners who want help moving or restoring a website without relying on risky guesswork or incomplete manual steps.

Why WordPress Migration Needs Careful Handling
WordPress migration is not only a file transfer. A working WordPress website depends on files, database tables, plugins, themes, media uploads, URLs, configuration files, database prefixes, user accounts, cache, SSL, and hosting settings.
If one part is missed or restored incorrectly, the migrated website can show errors, blank screens, broken images, missing pages, login problems, wrong URLs, or failed database connections.
This migration service focuses on reducing avoidable problems by checking the structure of the website, the backup, the target hosting environment, and the restore process before and during migration.
Flat Rate WordPress Migration Service
Standard WordPress Migration Service: £99
The flat rate covers most standard WordPress migration and restore jobs, including host-to-host migration, same-host migration, domain changes, backup restore, and WordPress website transfer using a fresh base installation where appropriate.
If the website is found to be more complex than a standard migration after inspection, a revised quote will be provided before further work continues.
If you choose not to proceed after a revised quote, an 80% refund will be issued.
Standard Website vs Complex Website
Standard Website
- Regular WordPress website
- Small to medium WooCommerce website
- No major corruption
- Backup includes required files and database data
- No large-scale cleanup required before migration
- Only minor server configuration required
- Migration can be completed without major hosting-provider intervention
Complex Website
- Very large websites or databases
- Broken, incomplete, or partially corrupted backups
- Backups missing required files or database data
- Cleanup required before migration
- Hosting, SSL, DNS, or access issues
- Restricted shared hosting limits
- Migration must be done in stages or batches
Backups Created by You or Your Hosting Provider
If you no longer have access to your old website but have a backup created by yourself or your hosting provider, this can still fall under the standard category if the backup contains all files and database data needed for full restoration.
If the backup package is incomplete and further work is needed to inspect folders, extract missing components, or attempt recovery, a revised quote will be provided. No refund will be issued for the initial standard payment once this investigation process has started.
