Who This Is For

Best-fit customers and project situations.

This service is designed for organisations that need a controlled, professionally delivered result without unnecessary disruption.

Good Fit

  • Businesses moving away from slow, expensive or unreliable hosting.
  • Agencies transferring a completed WordPress site to a customer account.
  • Website owners changing cPanel, managed WordPress, VPS or cloud providers.
  • Sites that need a controlled transfer with minimal avoidable downtime.
What We Deliver

A migration plan that protects the existing site before anything changes.

The final scope is confirmed after reviewing the existing environment, source materials and required outcome.

Pre-migration audit

We review WordPress version, PHP requirements, plugins, database size, storage, SSL, DNS and known site risks.

Complete backup set

Files and database are backed up before transfer, with a practical rollback point retained during cutover.

Hosting-to-hosting transfer

WordPress core, themes, plugins, uploads, database and configuration are moved to the destination environment.

Staging verification

Where the hosting setup allows it, the migrated copy is checked before the public domain is switched.

DNS, SSL and URL checks

Domain records, HTTPS, site URLs, redirects and mixed-content issues are reviewed during launch.

Post-migration QA

Key pages, logins, forms, media, navigation, WooCommerce flows and scheduled tasks are checked after cutover.

Product-Informed Workflow

Migration work is supported by LogicalFrame’s own WordPress site-transfer experience.

LogicalFrame has developed a WordPress Site Transfer System, so the service is planned around file integrity, database handling, path changes, domain cutover and recoverability rather than a blind copy-and-hope process.

Migration safeguards

  • Source site remains untouched until the transfer plan is confirmed.
  • Backups and access requirements are defined before cutover.
  • Final verification covers both technical and customer-facing workflows.

Delivery Process

A controlled process from review to handoff.

We protect the current environment, define acceptance criteria and keep the delivery sequence clear.

Access & Risk Review

We confirm source and destination access, storage, PHP requirements, DNS ownership, email dependencies and backup status.

Backup & Destination Setup

We create recoverable copies and prepare the destination hosting, database, SSL and staging path.

Controlled Migration

Files, database and configuration are transferred and adjusted for the new environment.

Cutover & Verification

DNS or domain routing is changed only after the migrated site is ready, then critical workflows are tested.

Handoff & Monitoring

We provide completion notes, monitor the immediate launch window and identify any hosting-specific follow-up work.

FAQs

Questions customers usually ask before starting.

We confirm project-specific details after reviewing the current site, source files, accounts and requested result.

Will the website be offline during migration?

Many migrations can be prepared on staging and switched with limited disruption, but the exact cutover depends on DNS, hosting access, site size and whether the domain also changes.

Can you migrate WooCommerce stores?

Yes. Store migrations require extra care around orders, customers, scheduled tasks, payment callbacks and the final data-sync window.

Do you move business email as well?

Email migration is a separate scope. We protect existing DNS records and can coordinate mailbox work when the current and destination providers are known.
