Server Migration<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nBy following these steps to renew your WordPress site, you can build a WordPress site on the same domain. You will need to build a test site on a test domain in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>

It is said that it can take up to 24 hours to switch servers. Even if you think you have switched to the new server, after a while the previous site will be displayed and the situation will remain unstable. Also, at the time of the switchover, the site may not be displayed temporarily.
You will need to consider the timing of future work, such as migrating servers on weekends when there is less access, or performing work at night.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>If you want to continue your server contract as is<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf you are not dissatisfied with the server and use many email addresses, it is best not to change the server easily. If you change the server, the email port will also change, which will require you to change the settings of your email address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By following these steps to renew your domain to a WordPress site, you can renew your domain to a WordPress site as is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Things to be aware of when renewing your WordPress site<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe structure of the URL may change. For example, if the URL for your company profile page was previously [https:\/\/hanami-web.tokyo.jp\/about.html], it will become [https:\/\/hanami-web.tokyo.jp\/about] on your WordPress site, and the URL string may change slightly. Such URL changes can cause broken links in search engines, so additional measures such as setting up redirects will be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>When renewing from a WordPress site to a WordPress site<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis is the case when you are already running a website on a WordPress site and want to renew your WordPress site in order to completely revamp the design and content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Build a WordPress site on a test domain<\/li>
- If you want to transfer your blog information, please move the current blog data to the new site.<\/li>
- After the new site is completed, data will be transferred to the production site.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
By temporarily building a WordPress site on a domain that is not your production domain, and then transferring the data after the renewed site is complete, you can renew your WordPress site on the same domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>
\n
If you need to move your WordPress data, your server may offer a WordPress Easy Migration program, which makes things much easier.
Even if you don't use a server program, you can use a plugin called All in one WP Migration to transfer data without any problems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>If you want to change your domain for renewal<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere may be cases where a website renewal involves a change of domain, such as when the business name of a domain acquired several years ago has changed, or when the company has been established and the domain needs to be changed to co.jp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- New domain acquisition<\/li>
- Build a WordPress site on the domain acquired in step 1<\/li>
- Redirect settings to inherit SEO from the old domain<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
The key point is the redirect setting in 3. The redirection process must be performed so that the information of the old domain indexed by search engines is transferred to the new domain. For example, if you change the URL from [https:\/\/test1.com] to [https:\/\/new1.co.jp], this function will force new1.co.jp to be displayed to those who access test1.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>
\n
Even if you don't change the domain, you need to be careful not to change the URL on a page-by-page basis when renewing your site. If you change the URL on an individual page, you can set up redirects individually, so be careful not to break links.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Should I change the domain when renewing my website?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf you have a website that receives almost no traffic and you are not very happy with the domain string you have acquired, we recommend that you consider changing the domain when you renew your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is very difficult to change your domain when your traffic is increasing and you have a long history of operation, so if you are thinking of changing it, now is the time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Do I need to change the server when renewing my website?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMoving a server is also a big job. You have to move all the data from the current server to the new server. Here are some examples of server moves we have done in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
