🤘 The Importance of Migrating a Website
Migrating a website is a critical process that ensures your online presence remains relevant, secure, and high-performing in an ever-evolving digital landscape. There are several reasons why website migration is essential for businesses:
Platform upgrade
Upgrading to a more advanced platform, such as WordPress, can provide better functionality, customisation options, and scalability. Migrating your website to a new platform allows you to leverage these benefits and adapt to your growing business needs.
Improved performance
As technology advances and user expectations rise, it’s essential to maintain a high-performing website. Migrating your site to a better hosting provider or a more efficient platform can significantly improve site speed, performance, and user experience, leading to increased traffic and conversions.
Enhanced security
Cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving, and it’s crucial to stay ahead of potential risks. Migrating your website to a platform with robust security features or a more secure hosting environment can help protect your site from attacks, ensuring the safety of your business and customer data.
Search engine optimisation (SEO)
As search engine algorithms change, your website’s structure and content may need to be updated to maintain or improve your search engine rankings. Migrating your website provides an opportunity to optimise your site’s SEO, ensuring it remains visible and accessible to your target audience.
Design and functionality updates
Website design trends and user preferences change over time. Migrating your website allows you to refresh its design, making it more visually appealing and user-friendly. It also provides an opportunity to add or enhance new features, ensuring your website remains competitive and relevant to your audience.
Rebranding or business restructuring
If your business undergoes a rebranding or restructuring, your website needs to reflect these changes. Migrating your site provides an opportunity to align your online presence with your new brand identity or business strategy.
How Our Pricing Works
At MerlinFX, we believe in transparent pricing. If you have cPanel access or a full backup of your website, the migration process is free. However, rebooting and optimising the website and ensuring its smooth operation may take time, so we provide a fixed fee for these services.
Why We Optimise Your Website
We don’t just migrate your website to a new server, we also optimise it to ensure that it runs smoothly and efficiently. By optimising your website, we ensure that our servers remain clean and that we can provide the best possible managed web services to all our clients. We also believe that having too many sites running a plethora of plugins is no way to manage a managed web services business, and we take great care in optimising your website to avoid any such issues.

DIY Migration Tips
How to Migrate a WordPress Site to a New Host or Domain
The text is about how to move a WordPress website to a new host or domain. Sometimes people want to change where their website is hosted or change the name of their website. This can help their website be better in the long run. The text explains step-by-step how to do this using a plugin called Duplicator. First, you need to back up your website files. Then, you create a database for your new domain or host. After that, you upload your website files to the new database and redirect your old website to your new one. Finally, you clean up your new website and tell your visitors and Google about your new domain.
How To Migrate A WordPress Site From One Host To Another
This article discusses how to move a WordPress website from one hosting provider to another. It can be stressful, but there are three options: having the new host do it for you, using a WordPress migration plugin, or doing it manually using SFTP/FTP. The article provides step-by-step instructions for each option. Once the website is moved, connect it to your domain name. It can take some time for the changes to take effect, so you must be patient.
Here are a couple of tips to ensure a smooth migration:
- When setting up new hosting, use your domain name instead of a staging domain. This helps avoid potential issues related to changing the domain name later on.
- To preview and test your new site, modify your local Hosts file on your computer to include the new server IP, along with both the domain and www versions. This will trick your browser into loading the site as if it were already live on the new server, allowing you to catch any problems before making the migration public.
– Usually located here: C:\Windows\system32
– It needs to be edited using administrator access.
Example:
100.230.34.34 domain.com.au
100.230.34.34 www.domain.com.au
