Worried about the cost and complexity of migrating your WordPress site? At PressTitan, we believe that moving to better hosting shouldn’t cost you extra money or cause sleepless nights. That’s why we offer completely free WordPress migrations for all new clients – no hidden fees, no surprises, just professional migration service included with your hosting.
Understanding Free Migration
Is the migration really completely free?
Yes, absolutely free. There are no setup fees, migration charges, or hidden costs. When you sign up for any PressTitan hosting plan, professional migration is included at no additional charge. This isn’t a limited-time offer or promotional deal – it’s how we do business.
What exactly is included in the free migration?
Our free migration service includes:
- Complete website transfer (all files, databases, content)
- Theme and plugin migration with compatibility testing
- Domain DNS setup and configuration
- Email setup assistance if needed
- SSL certificate installation and configuration
- Performance optimization during the transfer
- Post-migration testing and troubleshooting
- Up to 30 days of post-migration support for any issues
Are there any limitations on the free migration?
The only limitation is that it’s available for new PressTitan customers. Whether you have a simple blog or a complex e-commerce site with thousands of products, our migration team handles it all. Site size, complexity, or current hosting provider don’t affect eligibility – if you’re switching to PressTitan, your migration is free.
How is this different from other hosts that charge for migration?
Many hosting companies charge $100-$300 for professional migration services, or they offer “free” DIY tools that leave you to figure out problems on your own. PressTitan includes full-service, white-glove migration with every new hosting account because we want your switch to be as smooth as possible.
Migration Process Details
How long does a free migration take?
Most WordPress sites migrate within 24-48 hours of providing access credentials. Complex sites with custom configurations, large databases, or multiple integrations may take 3-5 business days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your specific site.
Do I need technical knowledge to prepare for migration?
Not at all. Our migration specialists handle everything technical. You just need to provide:
- Access to your current hosting account (cPanel, FTP, or admin login)
- WordPress admin credentials
- Any special instructions about your site’s functionality
If you’re uncomfortable sharing login credentials, we can work with backup files or coordinate with your current host.
Will there be any downtime during the migration?
We use advanced migration techniques that minimize downtime to nearly zero. Your existing site stays live on your current host while we build and test the migrated version on our servers. When everything is perfect, we make a quick DNS change that typically takes 5-10 minutes.
What if my site breaks during migration?
This rarely happens because we test everything thoroughly before going live. However, if any issues occur, we maintain complete backups of your original site and can instantly restore it while we resolve problems. Your site is never at risk.
Types of Sites We Migrate
Can you migrate any type of WordPress site?
Yes, our migration team has experience with every type of WordPress site:
- Simple blogs and personal websites
- Business and corporate sites
- E-commerce stores (WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads)
- Membership and subscription sites
- Multi-site WordPress networks
- Custom themes and heavily modified sites
- Sites with complex plugin configurations
What about sites with custom code or modifications?
Absolutely. Our migration specialists are experienced with custom themes, child themes, custom post types, advanced custom fields, and unique plugin configurations. We test all custom functionality thoroughly to ensure everything works perfectly after migration.
Can you migrate sites from any hosting provider?
Yes, we migrate from all hosting providers including shared hosts, VPS providers, dedicated servers, and other managed WordPress hosts. Whether you’re coming from GoDaddy, Bluehost, SiteGround, WP Engine, or any other provider, we’ve done it before.
What about sites using page builders like Elementor or Divi?
Page builders are no problem. We migrate sites built with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Visual Composer, Gutenberg, and all other popular page builders. All your designs, layouts, and custom styling transfer perfectly.
Common Migration Concerns
Will my Google rankings be affected by migration?
Not when done properly. We ensure your site structure, URLs, and redirects remain exactly the same. Your domain name doesn’t change, so Google sees it as the same website on a new server. Many clients actually see improved rankings due to better site speed and performance.
What happens to my email during migration?
If your email is hosted with your current provider, we coordinate the transition to prevent any email loss. We can help you migrate to a more reliable email service, or if you prefer, maintain your current email setup during the website migration.
Will all my plugins still work after migration?
Yes, we migrate all your plugins and test their functionality thoroughly. If any plugins have licensing issues or server-specific requirements, we resolve those during the migration process. Premium plugins typically transfer without issues.
What about my SSL certificate?
We install a new SSL certificate as part of every migration at no additional cost. Your site will be secure from day one on PressTitan servers. If you have a custom SSL certificate, we can install that instead.
Post-Migration Support
What if I discover problems after the migration is complete?
We provide 30 days of post-migration support for any issues related to the transfer. If something isn’t working correctly that was working before migration, we fix it at no charge. This isn’t just basic support – it’s dedicated migration issue resolution.
How do I verify everything migrated correctly?
We provide a detailed post-migration checklist and encourage you to thoroughly test your site. Check all pages, forms, e-commerce functions, user logins, and any custom features. If anything isn’t working properly, contact us immediately and we’ll resolve it.
What if I need changes after migration?
Basic post-migration adjustments (URL fixes, plugin configurations, etc.) are included. However, new feature requests, design changes, or content updates would be separate from the migration service. We can recommend WordPress developers if you need additional work.
Getting Your Free Migration Started
How do I request a free migration?
Simply sign up for any PressTitan hosting plan and let us know you need migration assistance. We’ll send you a secure migration form to collect your current hosting information and schedule the transfer at a convenient time.
Can I migrate multiple sites for free?
Each PressTitan hosting plan includes migration for the sites covered by that plan. If you have multiple sites, you’ll need appropriate hosting plans for each, but every plan includes free migration service.
When should I start the migration process?
As soon as you’re ready to make the switch. We can schedule migrations around your business needs, including weekend or off-hours transfers for high-traffic sites. The sooner you migrate, the sooner you’ll benefit from PressTitan’s superior performance and support.
What if I change my mind during migration?
You can cancel the migration at any point before we make the final DNS changes. Your original site remains completely untouched on your current host until you give final approval to go live with the migrated version.
Why We Offer Free Migration
Why does PressTitan provide free migration when others charge?
We believe great hosting should be accessible without additional barriers. Migration fees often prevent people from switching to better hosting, even when they’re unhappy with their current provider. By removing this cost, we let our hosting quality speak for itself.
Is there a catch to the free migration service?
No catch whatsoever. This is simply how we welcome new clients to PressTitan. We want you to experience the difference in our hosting and support without any upfront costs or risks.
What happens if I’m not happy after migration?
If you’re not completely satisfied with PressTitan after migration, we’ll migrate your site to any hosting provider of your choice – also completely free. We’re confident you’ll love our service, but we never want anyone to feel trapped.
