Site migration & web host transfer
Fast, secure site migrations without downtime
Migrate your site to WP Engine using automated tools and expert-led migration services without risk or disruption. Choose a full service website migration or do it yourself with our migration plugin.
Migrate without downtime or risk
Most migrations cause downtime or broken links, but WP Engine’s automated tools and expert support keep your site live while URLs and SEO are preserved.
Protect traffic and SEO
Poor migrations can hurt search rankings, while 301 redirects, URL validation, and SEO safeguards maintain traffic and performance.
Flexible migration paths
No two sites are the same, so we offer automated plugin transfers or white-glove expert support to match your workflow and site complexity.
Expert guidance at every step
Complex sites can create edge cases, but our 24/7 WordPress®1 specialists troubleshoot issues and confirm everything works before and after launch.
Predictable, stress-free transitions
Unclear processes risk errors, while guided DNS updates, staging testing, and migration monitoring ensure a smooth, zero-downtime move.
