Budget: $30 – $250 USD

Title:
Full WooCommerce Migration (Zero Downtime) — Complex Store with Many Plugins

Description:
I need an expert-level WordPress/WooCommerce specialist to migrate my full online shop to a new hosting provider without any downtime or data loss.
This store is active, with many plugins, custom configurations, and integrations, so the migration must be precise.

This job requires full, end-to-end handling, including every technical layer:

Scope of Work
1. Full Website Migration (Exact Copy)

Export + import of the entire MySQL database

Transfer of all WordPress files, including:

Themes (parent + child)

Plugins (many active plugins)

Uploads/media

Custom code snippets

WooCommerce templates (if any)

Replicate existing server-level settings:

.htaccess rules

PHP version & settings

Cron jobs

SSL certificate installation

Redirects + rewrites

Security rules (mod_security, firewall if needed)

2. WooCommerce Data Integrity

Must remain 100% intact:

Product data

Orders

Customers / accounts

Coupons

Product variations

Stock

SEO-friendly URLs / permalinks

Category and filter structure (YITH filters, etc.)

Image paths and gallery structure

3. Zero Downtime Requirement

Site must stay live on the old server during preparation

Final switch only occurs after I confirm everything works

Use staging environment or temporary domain before DNS switch

4. Email Functionality

You must ensure email works correctly on the new host:

Order confirmation emails

Admin notifications

Customer emails

SMTP or transactional email setup (if required)

DNS records for email (SPF / DKIM / DMARC)

5. Complete Post-Migration Testing

You will test everything, including:

Homepage, shop, categories and product pages

Cart, checkout, coupons

Payment gateway (test mode)

Account login / registration

Speed performance

Admin access

Email sending

Permalinks / SEO URLs

Plugins compatibility

CDN, cache, and HTTPS

Cron jobs running normally

6. Rollback/Backup Plan

Full backup before migration

Ability to restore old server instantly if needed

7. Handoff Document

After the migration, provide a short summary including:

New server paths

PHP version & limits

Cron job configurations

Cache or CDN settings

Any manual changes or fixes applied

What I Will Provide

Full access to both hosting accounts

WordPress admin login

cPanel, phpMyAdmin or SSH (depending on host)

Requirements for the Freelancer

Proven experience in complex WooCommerce migrations

Ability to work with sites that have many plugins and custom settings

Confidence handling DNS, email routing and server configuration

Available to start immediately

Strong communication and documentation skills

Timeline

Migration should start immediately and finish as soon as safely possible (you can propose the timeframe).

If you need more details, I can explain my current hosting setup and plugin list.
