Moving a client website can sound intimidating:
→ Copy the files
→ Export the database
→ Configure the new server
→ Update DNS
→ Fix SSL
→ Hope nothing breaks 😅
But with Cloudways and its WordPress Migrator, the process can be much more straightforward.
My latest guide walks through the migration process step by step:
🔹 Launching your Cloudways server
🔹 Installing the WordPress Migrator
🔹 Moving the files and database
🔹 Testing the site before going live
🔹 Checking forms, images, logins, and ecommerce
🔹 Pointing the domain to the new server
🔹 Setting up SSL after the DNS change
The most important step?
Don't change DNS until you've thoroughly tested the migrated site.
Your temporary Cloudways URL gives you the opportunity to make sure the new environment works before sending real visitors to it.
That simple approach can turn a risky migration into a controlled process.
