Migrating a WordPress site to Worldstream
Respuesta rápida
Clone your site to a staging server, test it, then switch DNS once you're ready. Because billing is monthly, you can run your old and new environments in parallel until traffic has fully moved over, then retire the old host. Plan your own backup approach as part of the move rather than after it.
Migrating from shared or cloud hosting in phases
Clone your site to a staging server, test it thoroughly, then switch DNS when you're ready to cut over. Because billing is monthly and instant-delivery models can be provisioned quickly, you can run the old and new environments side by side until traffic has stabilised on the new host, then retire the old one, rather than being forced into a single high-risk cutover window.
Backups and staging
Sort your backups out before the migration, not after it, and don't assume the new server arrives with anything already backing it up. Two practical options: point any backup tool at Worldstream's S3-compatible Object Storage for off-site copies, or spin up an additional server (or a Flexible VPS instance) as a staging clone.
Getting started
To get started, pick an instant-delivery listing or design a custom configuration. During order you choose the OS, or request a reinstall later from the server's Installation tab in Portal. Add DirectAdmin or cPanel during checkout if you need them. Object Storage is created separately, as a project in Portal. Full WordPress application management stays under your own control.
