Moving 40 WordPress sites from cPanel: what worked for us
-
We finished moving 40 WordPress sites off an old cPanel box last month. Notes for anyone planning the same:
- Lower DNS TTLs a day ahead. 300 seconds made the cut-over painless.
- Move mail separately. Sites first, mailboxes the following weekend.
- Check
wp-config.phpfor hard-coded paths. Three sites had/home/user/public_htmlbaked in. - Use staging copies for the awkward ones. Anything with WooCommerce got a staging run first.
Happy to answer questions.
