So we rebuilt the entire experience to make it easier for our customers.<br><br>Last week, we rolled out a redesigned migration workflow: a guided wizard and a dedicated <strong>Migrations<\/strong> tab in your dashboard that makes requesting, tracking, and completing our free managed site migrations clearer and more straightforward than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re moving a WooCommerce store, a membership platform, an LMS, or a high-traffic content site, getting onto the right infrastructure is one of the highest-leverage decisions you can make. This update makes sure the process of getting there is as smooth as the hosting itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"whats-new\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What&#8217;s New<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"a-dedicated-migrations-tab\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Dedicated Migrations Tab<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s now a first-class <strong>Migrations<\/strong> section in your dashboard navigation. You can view all your migration requests (drafts and submitted) in one place, check their status at a glance, and pick up right where you left off if you saved a draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"a-step-by-step-migration-wizard\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Step-by-Step Migration Wizard<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The new wizard walks you through eight clear steps: destination setup, environment configuration, site details, source credentials, server access, email configuration, domain and launch preferences, and a final review before you submit. At every stage, you know exactly where you are and what comes next, with the ability to save the form and return to it later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"flexible-destination-options\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Flexible Destination Options<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you start a migration, you now get to choose how your migrated site is set up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Create a new site:<\/strong> the wizard will provision it as part of the migration flow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Migrate to an existing site:<\/strong> replace an existing Rapyd environment with your migrated content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both options are supported directly in the wizard, without requiring any separate setup steps first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"real-time-status-tracking\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Real-Time Status Tracking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you submit a request, migration status is synced directly into your dashboard. You no longer need to rely only on email threads or follow-up messages to know where things stand. Open the Migrations page and the current status is right there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-it-works\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How It Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Start a request:<\/strong> From the Migrations tab or within a site&#8217;s overview page, click <em>Request a migration<\/em> to open the wizard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose your destination:<\/strong> Create a new site or select an existing one to migrate into.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Provide your source details:<\/strong> Enter your WordPress credentials and server access information (SSH preferred, or backup\/FTP if SSH isn&#8217;t available).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Configure domain and launch preferences:<\/strong> Tell us where your domain is managed and whether you&#8217;d like our team to handle the launch or do it yourself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Review and submit:<\/strong> Add any special notes for our team, confirm your details, and send the request.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You can save your progress as a draft at any point and return later. The wizard holds your place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a full walkthrough, see the<a href=\"https:\/\/support.rapyd.cloud\/en\/articles\/14479866-how-to-request-a-managed-website-migration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> support article on requesting a managed migration<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"why-this-matters\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why This Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speed.<\/strong> The wizard consolidates everything our team needs into a single, structured request. Less back-and-forth, faster turnaround.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Visibility.<\/strong> Migration status now lives in your dashboard, not just in your inbox. You can check progress at any time without needing to reach out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Control.<\/strong> You decide how and when your site goes live, whether you want our team to handle the DNS switch or prefer to do it yourself on your own schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Migrations have always been free and fully managed at Rapyd Cloud. This update gives our white-glove service the front-end experience it deserves. And once you&#8217;re on the platform, you&#8217;re on infrastructure built for dynamic WordPress: LiteSpeed servers, KeyDB and Redis object caching included on every plan, <a href=\"https:\/\/rapyd.cloud\/blog\/enterprise-cloudflare-cdn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Enterprise Cloudflare CDN<\/a>, and support that responds in under 45 seconds. The migration is just the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ready-to-move\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ready to Move?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been putting off migrating to a site, now&#8217;s the time. Head to the <strong>Migrations<\/strong> tab in your dashboard and start a request. The wizard takes care of the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you still have sites sitting on another host, this is the easiest path to getting them onto Rapyd Cloud. Our white-glove migration service means our team handles everything: files, database, testing, and DNS configuration. You just point us in the right direction. What&#8217;s waiting on the other side is hosting built specifically for sites where performance is tied to revenue, retention, and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Migrate your WordPress site to Rapyd Cloud with our new step-by-step wizard.
