Migrating a website or server to a new platform requires attention to detail: file structure, databases, access permissions, DNS, and service stability. This section includes best practices for safely migrating projects between VPS servers and hosting providers.
These guides cover both manual transfers and automated solutions. You’ll learn how to migrate CMS platforms (WordPress, Joomla, etc.), databases, nginx/Apache configs, and how to reduce downtime during an IP change or infrastructure switch.
