Here are some important points to consider before proceeding with the migration of your WordPress sites:
Zero Downtime: We understand the importance of keeping your websites accessible at all times. Our migration process is designed to ensure zero downtime, so your websites will continue to function normally throughout the transition.
Temporary Restricted Access: To maintain data integrity and avoid any unintended issues, access to your Dashboard will be temporarily restricted during the migration. This means you won't be able to make any changes to your site for a brief period. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Rest assured, access will be restored once the migration is completed.
Estimated Migration Time: The migration process is swift and efficient, taking approximately 10 minutes to complete. Our system will work behind the scenes to set up the necessary components and configurations for a seamless transition to the new infrastructure.
Continued Support: Our dedicated customer support team will be available to assist you throughout the migration process. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us at any time.
Post-Migration Checks: After the migration is complete, we recommend checking all your domains and sub-domains to ensure they are functioning correctly. If you notice a "Not-Verified" tag next to any of them, there will be steps to follow for verification and proper functionality in the new infrastructure.
1. Click "Marketing"
2. Click "Wordpress"
3. Click "Confirm Migration"
Start by opening your WordPress Dashboard. Look for a pop-up notification regarding the infrastructure update. Click on the 'Confirm Migration' button to proceed.
4. After confirming the migration, our new infrastructure will create a WordPress instance specifically for your WordPress sites
Once you confirm the migration, our new infrastructure will create a dedicated WordPress instance for your sites. This process typically takes about 10 minutes. During this time, our system will set up all the necessary components and configurations to ensure a smooth transition to the new infrastructure.
After the migration is complete, you will be automatically redirected to your dashboard. Here, you will find all your domains and sub-domains intact.
6. If status is "Not Verified"
If you notice a "Not-Verified" tag next to any of them, follow these steps:
Click on the DNS Settings option for the respective domain.
You will be provided with DNS records that need to be added to your DNS Provider.
Access your DNS Provider's settings and add the DNS records as instructed.
By correctly adding the DNS records, you will ensure the proper verification and functionality of your domains and sub-domains in the new infrastructure.
