Migrations

Free automated migrations

Bring your WordPress sites to Zinn Digital® without the manual grind. A self-service migration workflow pulls your files and database, rebuilds the site on our platform, rewrites URLs, verifies the result, and cuts over DNS when you are ready. Your first migration is free.

Connect your source, any way you have access

Point the migration workflow at wherever your site lives today. Four source types cover almost every host and setup.

Connector plugin

Install the Zinn connector plugin on the source WordPress and let it hand over files and database directly, with no credentials to dig out.

FTP / SFTP + database

Supply FTP or SFTP access plus your database credentials and the workflow pulls everything itself.

cPanel, Plesk or Duplicator

Already have a backup? Import a cPanel, Plesk or Duplicator archive straight into the migration workflow.

SSH pull

Give SSH access and the workflow pulls files and the database over the connection for a clean, complete copy.

What the migration does, step by step

Every migration runs as a durable Temporal workflow, so it retries around transient failures and reports progress as it goes rather than dying halfway through a big transfer.

Pulls your files and database from the source you connected
Provisions the target site from a blueprint on our platform
Runs an automatic search-replace to rewrite old URLs to the new ones
Fixes configuration so the site is wired up correctly on arrival
Verifies the result with HTTP checks and file checksums before you commit
Cuts over DNS to go live, then confirms the switch
Rolls back cleanly if anything looks wrong — you stay in control the whole way

Run it yourself, watch it happen

The whole process is self-service from your dashboard. Start a migration, follow the live progress as each stage completes, and cut over on your own schedule — there is no ticket queue and no waiting on a support engineer to do it for you. Resellers and agencies run the same workflow across many sites; our own staff use exactly the same pipeline internally, so nothing about it is second-class.

Because the workflow verifies before it cuts over and can roll back at any point, moving a site carries far less risk than a manual migration. And with no vendor lock-in on the platform, choosing us is never a one-way door — the same freedom to move applies on the way in and the way out.

FAQ

Is my first migration really free?

Yes. Your first migration to Zinn Digital® is free, so you can move a site across and see it running on the platform before committing anything further.

Which sources can I migrate from?

Four: the Zinn connector plugin installed on the source WordPress, FTP or SFTP with database credentials, a cPanel, Plesk or Duplicator backup import, or an SSH pull. Between them they cover the vast majority of hosts.

Will my site go down during the move?

No. The workflow rebuilds and verifies your site on our platform first, and only cuts over DNS once you are ready. The live site keeps serving until the switch.

What if something goes wrong mid-migration?

The migration runs as a durable workflow with progress and rollback surfaced in your dashboard. If a verification check fails or something looks off, you can roll back cleanly rather than being left with a half-moved site.

Do I have to do the migration myself?

It is fully self-service, so you can run it end to end from the dashboard whenever it suits you. It is the same workflow our own staff use internally, so it is built to handle real migrations, not just simple ones.
