what a Yovale migration covers.

Moving a WordPress site usually means exporting a database, wrestling an SFTP client, importing on the new host, and hoping nothing broke before you flip DNS on the live site.

migration is a guided onboarding step, not a support ticket you chase.

We move the whole site

pages, posts, plugins, themes, media, users, and the database come across together.

primary capability
Verified on staging first

the migrated site is stood up on a staging URL so you can check it before anyone else sees it.

supporting control
Backed up before anything moves

a full off-site snapshot is taken first, so there is always a known-good restore point.

supporting control
Cutover when you're ready

the domain switches over only when you've signed off — no surprise downtime.

primary capability
the problem

most WordPress migrations are a DIY gamble with live downtime.

Moving a WordPress site usually means exporting a database, wrestling an SFTP client, importing on the new host, and hoping nothing broke before you flip DNS on the live site.

For a store or a lead-driven site, an hour of broken checkout or contact forms is real lost revenue. a migration should be checked on a copy first, then switched over deliberately.

agencies

hand off the move, keep the relationship.

Agencies moving client sites get the migration handled and a staging URL to review with the client before anything goes live.

You approve the result instead of debugging an import at midnight.

stores

bring your WooCommerce data intact.

Products, orders, customers, and settings come across with the rest of the site.

You verify checkout on staging, then cut the domain over when the store checks out.

faq

common questions before you switch.

Do I have to migrate the site myself?

No. We move the pages, posts, plugins, themes, media, and database for you, then stand the site up on a staging URL to verify.

Will my site go down during the move?

No. Your current site stays live the whole time. The domain only points at Yovale once you've verified the migrated copy and are ready to cut over.

What about my WooCommerce store?

Products, orders, customers, and settings come across with the rest of the site, and you can check out on staging before going live.

Is a backup taken before the migration?

Yes. A full off-site snapshot is taken before anything moves, so there is always a known-good restore point.

Do I need to touch SFTP or export a database?

No. The migration is handled for you — there are no SQL exports or SFTP transfers for you to run.
