Incredible Time-saver
by seeworthy·5 months ago

I am doing more and more website migrations and redesigns these days, and Migrate to WordPress.com is a huge time-saver. The support is excellent, and my clients are very happy with the results. I couldn’t ask for more.

Excellent

I had been self-hosting on GoDaddy for years. GoDaddy support is so-so. Expect to pay extra even for something like migrating your pHP servers from one version to another. I tried it myself but it crashed the site. So I had to restore. Long story short, I got tired of the backend of patching and keeping up with updates, I opted to move my hosting to wordpress.com This plugin made everything easy. I couldn’t add the plugin through the Dashboard so I had to FTP it to the wp-content folder manually. Once it showed up in the dashboard and I activated it, it worked like a charm.
