The real risk
A botched migration is a business incident, not an IT task.
❌ Content, media or database rows silently lost in the transfer.
❌ Rankings and organic traffic collapse because redirects were never mapped.
❌ Hours of downtime during a cutover that wasn’t staged or scheduled.
❌ Plugins and themes break on the new host, and nobody tested first.
❌ A core or PHP upgrade applied straight to production and the site goes white.
Migration treated as risk management
We start every move with a pre-migration audit, rebuild it on staging, and verify content, data, redirects and performance before a single visitor sees the new environment. URLs are mapped, redirects validated, and the cutover is scheduled for a low-traffic window. The result is a migration your finance and SEO teams trust not a weekend gamble. And because we operate hosting for WordPress ourselves, the people moving your site understand where it’s landing.

Our Promise
The Six Commitments behind every engagement
The standards we hold ourselves to, on every site we move.
AI and data shape the move, grounded in Hosting for WordPress we operate ourselves.
Audited, staged and verified against your real site no guesswork at cutover.
We stay on for maintenance after the move. 98% of clients stay with us.
Every credential is public and checkable. Nothing self-awarded.
Clear scope, redirect maps, fixed estimates and status. No surprises.
Upgraded, hardened and AI-ready, so the site scales after the move.
Answer engine optimization
Be the answer, not just a result
People increasingly research in AI engines before they ever reach a search results page. They ask ChatGPT how to migrate Site built on WordPresss safely, ask Perplexity who handles host moves, and read Google’s AI Overview first. If your migrated site isn’t structured to be cited there, the move quietly costs you visibility.
A migration is the natural moment to fix this. We preserve and improve structured data, keep the architecture crawlable, and maintain an llms.txt reference so the site becomes the cited answer rather than an afterthought.
Where AEO fits a migration
Structured data carried over and improved, redirect maps that keep cited URLs alive, and content engines can quote built into the move, not bolted on after.

Questions
FAQ on Site Migration for WordPress
The questions teams ask us most before a move.
Migration for WordPress is the process of moving a site’s content, themes, plugins, database and configuration from one hosting environment or server to another, with everything preserved. Done properly, the site behaves identically after the move, with nothing lost in the transfer and no visible change for your visitors.
No. We take full backups, run the migration on a staging environment first, and verify content, media, the database and custom settings with integrity checks before anything goes live. Nothing is cut over to production until it has been confirmed on staging.
Not when the migration is planned for SEO. We map every URL, set 301 redirects, preserve metadata and structured data, and validate the redirect map after launch, so rankings, organic traffic and indexed pages carry over rather than dropping at cutover.
There is no fixed price. Cost is scoped in a pre-migration audit against your site size, complexity, the host or platform change and any integrations. We model the estimate on your actual site before you commit, so you are not quoting against a generic package.
A simple host-to-host move can be completed in hours. A complex multisite, large catalog or platform change takes longer. We give a fixed timeline after the pre-migration audit, once the scope and risks are clear, rather than promising a date in advance.
We stage the migration and schedule the cutover for a low-traffic window, so downtime is minimal and planned rather than a surprise. For most moves the live site stays available throughout, with the switch to the new environment handled at the final, verified step.
Yes. We test WordPress core, PHP, theme and plugin upgrades on a staging copy of your site first, resolve any conflicts there, and only then apply them to production, so a version jump improves security and performance without breaking the live site.
Book a strategy call. We run a pre-migration audit to identify risks, scope the move and any upgrades, and return a fixed timeline and estimate based on your actual site before any work begins.
Yes. We move sites built on WordPress between any hosts and environments. As a WP Engine agency partner we migrate to WP Engine, and we also operate WeWP, our own AI-driven Hosting for WordPress, as one option when you want a managed home for the migrated site.
We run compatibility testing on every theme, plugin and custom function on staging and resolve conflicts before launch, so design and functionality stay intact. Where a plugin is outdated or abandoned, we flag it and recommend a maintained alternative as part of the move.
Yes. Core, theme and plugin updates, uptime and performance monitoring, security hardening and troubleshooting are available as a retainer. A migrated site needs care to stay fast and secure, so the relationship is built to continue past cutover rather than ending at launch.
Yes. AddWeb is an official WordPress Partner, a WordPress.org contributor since 2012, a WP Engine agency partner and an Automattic partner. These are public, verifiable credentials rather than self-described claims, which matters when you are trusting a partner with a revenue-critical site.
Yes. We migrate WooCommerce data, including orders, customers and products, with the same backup and integrity-check process used for any Migration for WordPress, and as an official WooCommerce partner we handle store-specific concerns like payment, tax and shipping configuration during the transfer.
We preserve and improve structured data, keep the architecture clean and crawlable, and maintain an llms.txt reference so the migrated site stays citable in AI answer engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. Migration is a good moment to fix the technical foundations that AI discovery depends on.
Yes. Migrating to WordPress from another platform is a core part of what we do. We migrate content, media, users and URL structure from systems such as Drupal, Joomla, Wix, Squarespace, Blogger and static HTML sites, mapping it into WordPress and setting redirects so your SEO and structure carry across. For a store, we move Magento or other carts to WooCommerce with orders and customers intact.
