A slow site
A faster host helps, but a bloated theme, 40 plugins, and a 6 GB database move with you and stay slow.

In one paragraph: RoundBorders migrates WordPress sites between hosts, and moves sites from Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, and custom platforms to WordPress or WooCommerce, at a fixed price from $399. Every migration is built and tested on staging first, every URL is preserved or mapped with a 301 redirect, and the cutover is done with zero downtime, so search rankings and visitors are unaffected (WooCommerce stores pause checkout once, for 15–30 minutes, so no order is lost). Host-to-host moves typically take 2–5 days; platform moves 1–5 weeks.
how pricing works →How a zero-downtime migration works
The last hour, drawn to scale.
"Zero downtime" is easy to say. Here is what it looks like on the clock: the old site keeps serving until the new one has been serving for a while. There is never a moment when neither answers. For WooCommerce stores we're precise, not slippery: the site stays up throughout; checkout pauses once, briefly, on a schedule you choose.
Old host
New host
Checkout (stores)
0 seconds where nobody is serving. DNS moves visitors over gradually; both hosts answer with identical content until the last resolver catches up. Stores: browsing never stops; checkout takes one short, scheduled pause at your quietest hour so the last orders and stock levels move over exactly. Every order placed before or after the pause is kept.
- T−48 hFull copy on staging. You click through it. We test forms, checkout, logins.
- T−30 minFinal content sync; pages and settings frozen on the old host. Stores: checkout paused with a "back in a few minutes" notice while the last orders, customers, and stock counts are moved across, exactly.
- T+0DNS switched with a 5-minute TTL set days earlier. New host takes traffic; checkout reopens here, order numbers continuing where they left off.
- T+24 hOld host still up as a safety net. Then decommissioned, backups kept 30 days.
Migrate WordPress without losing rankings
Everything Google knows about you, carried across.
Rankings are lost in migrations for boring reasons: a changed URL, a dropped redirect, a missing canonical, an image folder that moved. So we treat SEO as cargo, itemised and checked off.
- Every URL, kept identical where possible, 301'd one-to-one where not crawl before/after
- Titles, descriptions, canonicals, Open Graph, moved with the content, not retyped Yoast / RankMath import
- Structured data (products, articles, FAQs) validated on the new host Rich Results test
- Images and their alt text, re-hosted at the same paths so image rankings survive path-preserving
- Existing redirects, carried over so old 301 chains still resolve redirect audit
- Sitemap and Search Console, resubmitted the same day; Google told about the host change day-of
- Two-week watch on impressions, crawl errors, and 404s after the move GSC monitoring

No dip. The orange bar is the day the DNS changed. Impressions held, then rose slightly on the faster host. This is what a migration should look like in Search Console: boring.
The process
Five stops, in this order, every time.
Whether it's a blog changing hosts or a Shopify store becoming a WooCommerce store, the route is the same. You're needed at exactly one stop, for about twenty minutes.

What a migration doesn't fix
Moving house doesn't tidy the house.
A migration moves your site faithfully, warts included. If any of these are the real reason you want to move, they're separate jobs, and we'd rather say so now than invoice for surprise.
An infected site
Malware migrates perfectly. We clean before we move, never after, so the new host starts clean.
The job that does Hacked site cleanup →Nobody watching it afterwards
The two-week watch ends. Updates, backups, and monitoring after that are a plan, not a project.

One number, before anything moves.
Scoping is free and needs no access. The price you approve is the price you pay; there is no per-page or per-product metering.

Bishoy was very helpful and responsive. Provided exactly what was requested in a timely manner!
Troubleshooting intermittent 503 Errors
You, Sir, are a genius. Thank you so much for helping us out. Myself and our hosting provider weren't able to find the error, Bishoy found it in less than 24 hours. Thank you so much!
SQL database is giant.
Bishoy is so awesome. I would gladly hire him again for a project. He is super fast and an expert at his craft. He helped me to clean up and optimize a 29GB database file down to less than 1% of that size. My website is running so smoothly now. Thank you, Bishoy!
WordPress migration FAQ
Asked before the move, answered straight.
What people ask before handing over a site to move, and what we tell them.
01
Will my site go down during the migration?
No. The new site is built on staging and the cutover overlaps both hosts, so there is no moment when neither is serving. For WooCommerce stores, browsing continues throughout; checkout pauses once for 15 to 30 minutes at a time you choose, so the final orders and stock levels move across exactly. No order is lost.
02
Will I lose SEO rankings when I move hosts?
Not from the move itself. URLs, metadata, canonicals, and structured data are preserved, and we watch Search Console for two weeks afterwards. Rankings only move when URLs change without redirects, which we do not allow.
03
How long does a WordPress migration take?
Host to host: typically 2 to 5 days with a one-evening cutover. Platform moves (Wix, Squarespace, Webflow): 1 to 3 weeks. Shopify to WooCommerce: 2 to 5 weeks, mostly rebuilding checkout and theme.
04
Can you migrate WooCommerce orders and customers?
Yes, including order history, customer accounts, subscriptions, and coupons. For Shopify we map products, variants, and collections one-to-one, with reviews carried over.
05
Which host should I move to?
We recommend honestly based on your traffic and budget. We are a Pressable Pro Partner but migrate to any host; the recommendation never depends on where you end up.
06
Do I need to buy the new hosting first?
Not before the quote. Once you approve, we set up the new environment (or use one you already have) and build there while the old site keeps running.
07
Will my emails keep working after the migration?
Yes. Email usually lives on separate DNS records that we leave untouched. Where the old host also handled mail, we move it first and test before the cutover.
08
What if something is missing after the move?
The old host stays up for at least 24 hours and a full backup is kept for 30 days, so anything missed is restored, not rebuilt. It is rare: you click through staging before we cut over.
