Every Type of WordPress Migration, Handled
No two migrations are the same. We handle the full range — from simple host moves to complex platform switches.
Host-to-Host Migrations
Moving from one hosting provider to another — Bluehost to Cloudways, GoDaddy to Kinsta, shared hosting to managed WordPress. Full site transfer with zero downtime.
Platform-to-WordPress
Migrating from Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify, or any other platform to WordPress — with full content, structure, and SEO preservation.
Builder-to-Builder
Switching from Divi to Elementor, Classic Editor to Gutenberg, or any page builder transition — rebuilt cleanly without breaking the existing design.
Multisite Migrations
WordPress multisite network moves — including individual site extractions, network restructuring, and cross-domain migrations.
Domain & URL Migrations
Domain changes, URL structure restructuring, HTTP to HTTPS upgrades — with full redirect mapping to protect every backlink and ranking.
Development-to-Live
Moving a completed build from staging or local development to a live server — cleanly, with all configuration, database, and URL updates handled correctly.
Our Migration Process
Every step documented. Nothing left to chance.
Pre-Migration Audit
We inventory the existing site — pages, content, plugins, custom code, integrations, and URL structure — before anything moves.
Full Backup
Complete site backup created and verified before any migration work begins. Nothing touches the live site until a clean backup is confirmed.
Staging Migration
The migration is executed and tested on a staging environment first. Every page, form, link, and integration verified before going anywhere near live.

301 Redirect Mapping
Every URL change is mapped and redirected correctly. No broken links, no lost rankings, no 404s reaching your client's visitors or Google.
301 Redirect Mapping
Every URL change is mapped and redirected correctly. No broken links, no lost rankings, no 404s reaching your client's visitors or Google.
Live Cutover
DNS cutover executed during low-traffic hours. Live site monitored immediately post-migration to catch and resolve any issues within minutes.
Post-Migration QA
Full site check post-launch — all pages, forms, emails, integrations, SSL, and redirects verified live. Sign-off only when everything passes.

What Goes Wrong in DIY Migrations
- Site goes down mid-migration — wrong DNS cutover timing leaves the site unreachable for hours.
- Rankings disappear overnight — missing 301 redirects mean Google treats the new URLs as entirely new pages.
- Forms stop sending — integration endpoints and SMTP configs break silently after a host change.
- Mixed content errors — HTTP URLs embedded in content break HTTPS after an SSL migration.
- Data loss — no verified backup means no recovery option when something goes wrong.
- With Oktohut — every one of these risks is eliminated by our documented migration process.

For Agencies Handling Client Site Moves of Any Kind
Agencies Switching Hosts

Rebuilding on WordPress

Post-Build Deployments
You've built the site on a staging server or locally. We move it to live cleanly — no broken links, no config issues.
Builder Transitions

Domain & Rebrand Moves
Client has rebranded and needs a new domain with full redirect mapping to protect their existing search rankings.

A migration went wrong somewhere else and the client's site is down or broken. We step in, diagnose, and recover.
