WordPress migration to AWS Lightsail - keep emails, SSL and URLs intact
Project Deliverables & Description
We want to move a WordPress site with about 25 GB of uploads from SiteGround to AWS Lightsail. It uses WooCommerce orders that must not be lost during the cutover, so I need a plan for the database sync and a DNS switch at a quiet hour. Business email on the same domain must keep working. Please do a staging copy first so we can check it before going live.
The current host has been slow and had two outages this quarter.
Key Deliverables:
- Plan, Backup & Rehearsal: Agreeing the plan, taking verified backups, and rehearsing the move on a copy.
- Cutover & Verification: Carrying out the move at the agreed time and verifying that everything works.
- Monitoring & Handover: Watching for problems after the move and handing over clear documentation.
Requirements:
- Demonstrated experience with WordPress, Server Migration, DNS Management, MySQL, WooCommerce
- Async communication preferred with milestone check-ins.
- Must test on both mobile and desktop before requesting milestone release.
If you have experience with this type of project, we'd love to hear from you. Please include relevant work samples with your bid.
