Website Rebuild

  • Hello,

    I’ve been tasked to make a new website on WordPress that’ll serve as the redesign of the original website that’s made on PHP. Also, they have different websites in different hostings and for this specifically, they want to migrate from current hosting to one they’re already using.

    I have some questions, hopefully, you guys can lead me in the correct direction:

    As the hosting migration is needed, I supposed is better to build the website on the new hosting as they completely discarding the old one. Migration could break the current site as it’s really fragile and any simple change has done it before.

    – How would you guys advise me to build the new site without the domain pointing to the new hosting?
    – Should I work on a subdomain of my own domain and transfer it to their domain when finished?
    – Which way do you guys recommend the transfer? Will I be safe doing it with plugins like Duplicator or All-In-One WordPress Migration

    Thanks in advance!

    A few ideas to start your research:

    -use a webhosting vendor + plan that provides multiple environments like production and staging (several hosting vendors offer plans that could work or this)

    -use a plugin that provides backup and creates staging environment (blogvault.net is the one I use — not a free plugin)

    -ask webhosting vendor(s) if they offer service to assist with site transfer/migration
