WooCommerce to VPS Migration

WordPress / WooCommerce Migration Specialist Needed (WordPress.com → VPS)

Project type: One-off migration (immediate start preferred)

We’re looking for an experienced WordPress + WooCommerce developer to complete a migration from WordPress.com hosting to a VPS (cPanel / CloudLinux).

Our hosting provider attempted the migration but paused due to WordPress.com CDN-generated images and thumbnails, which require developer-level handling.

This is a live eCommerce marketplace (not a brochure site), so experience matters.

Project overview

Website: Large WooCommerce marketplace

Products: ~35,000

Plugins: WooCommerce, Dokan (multi-vendor)

Current host: WordPress.com

Destination: VPS with cPanel (CloudLinux)

Scope of work

Complete WordPress.com → VPS migration

Properly migrate media library

Regenerate all WordPress & WooCommerce image sizes

Fix missing product thumbnails / galleries

Ensure Dokan vendor stores function correctly

Preserve URLs, SEO structure, and metadata

Final QA to ensure checkout, cart, and product pages work correctly

Key challenge (must understand)

WordPress.com dynamically generates image sizes via CDN.
Thumbnails need to be recreated/regenerated correctly on the VPS post-migration.

If you haven’t dealt with this before, this project is not a good fit.

Requirements

Proven experience migrating WordPress.com sites (not just self-hosted WP)

Strong WooCommerce experience

Familiarity with Dokan or large marketplaces preferred

Comfortable working with VPS / cPanel environments

Able to explain approach clearly before starting
