Migration
WordPress migration without losing rankings or uptime
Changing hosting or domain is nerve-racking for two reasons: the fear of the website going down during the process and the fear of losing SEO. I take care of both: I migrate your entire WordPress site, test it before switching over and keep your rankings with properly set up redirects.
How do you migrate WordPress to a new hosting or domain without losing anything?
Migrating WordPress means copying files and database to the new server, adjusting URLs, checking links and email, and making sure everything works before changing the DNS. Done methodically, it avoids downtime and ranking losses. WP Sereno carries out migrations without interruptions.

FAQ
Questions about migrations
Will my website be down during the migration?
It shouldn’t be. I prepare and test everything at the destination before the switch, so the transition is seamless.
Will I lose rankings on Google?
That’s exactly the risk you control with properly set up 301 redirects and a change-of-address notice in Search Console. Done carefully, SEO is preserved.
Can you migrate email too?
I review the email setup linked to the domain so nobody stops receiving messages after the switch.
How long does a migration take?
A standard website, not long; a large store, a bit longer. I give you a timeframe after reviewing your case.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the size and type of migration. I review your website and give you a fixed price before starting.
