Test changes on stagingTake a recoverable backup before updates. A database restore can remove orders placed after the recovery point.
Review backup optionsTest product variants, shipping, discounts, payment callbacks and order emails on mobile as well as desktop.
Check site performancePlan the final database copy around new orders. Agree a short checkout pause if needed, copy the final data, test the destination, then change DNS. Keep the old environment available while you verify payments and integrations.

We support the hosting platform and help you assess the right hosting option. You or your developer manage the shop, themes, extensions, compatibility testing and business workflows. Hosting does not include a separate WooCommerce development or maintenance contract.
For larger or less cacheable workloads, compare the dedicated resources and management scope of managed cloud hosting.

Yes. Website hosting, domain registration and email can be managed separately. Preserve your MX and authentication records when changing website DNS.
Performance depends on the site, integrations and workload. We review the starting point and recommend a suitable plan; benchmark your own store before and after moving.
