Customers have a handful of options for how they would like to migrate their WordPress site to Pagely.

Take Advantage of Our Expert Staff

Let our specialized team handle your WordPress site migrations for you with our full white-glove concierge service! Two migrations are included free across all of our plans, regardless whether you have a basic, complex, or multisite WordPress install. Simply fill out the secure migration form inside the Support tab of your Pagely Atomic dashboard and provide us with the following info:

• Domains/sites you’re requesting transferred
• Source provider currently hosting the sites
• Source login (URL, username, and password)
• SSH login
• Any special instruction our team should know (like a reverse proxy for example)

And that’s it! An engineer will review the details and keep you updated on progress. Our team prefers to transfer your WordPress site via SSH as that makes it possible for us to do a final data sync just prior to cutover. This is to ensure the Pagely site is current with any data that has changed in the interim.

During this time, we’ll also scope out any surface-level errors our experts can find, and address them for you, before switching DNS over.

Note: If you’re uncomfortable giving the Pagely team access to the server where your WordPress site resides, we can instantiate your site on Pagely via a backup file. Just be sure to send us a zip of both the MySQL export as well as the full WordPress installation directory.

The DIY Approach

Customer always have the option of porting any websites themselves. If you have an abundance of WordPress sites or prefer to handle them yourself, to save a bit on the budget, there are always options for self-assisted migrations. These methods include:

• SFTP
• WordPress Command Line Interface (WP-CLI)
• WordMove

After Migration

Once the migration has been completed, our team will verify this with you in a HelpDesk support ticket where you’ll follow along and ask any questions you have to our team. At this stage, we’ll help correct any concerns we identify by going over our VPS Review Checklist. After confirming everything checks out, you’ll need to adjust your site’s DNS settings to cutover traffic to your new Pagely server.
