Migrate a site to Belov Cloud

Getting an existing WordPress site onto Belov Cloud without a maintenance window and without hoping it survives the cutover. Migration is free and white-glove — our AI runs it, and you don't touch DNS until the copy is proven to work.

One idea underpins the whole flow: nothing about your live site changes until the last step. We build a full copy on a real staging URL, prove it works, and your old host keeps serving the entire time. If something's wrong on the copy, your visitors never see it — you do, on staging, before go-live.

1. 1
   Start a migration

   In the panel, choose Add site then Migrate an existing site, and connect your current site with the Belov Cloud Connect plugin — no passwords, FTP, or wp-admin URL needed.
2. 2
   We build the copy

   The migration is AI-run — files, database, and configuration move onto an isolated container on Belov Cloud, served on a temporary staging URL. Your production site is untouched throughout.
3. 3
   We verify it the way a user would

   A clean 200 on the homepage isn't proof the site works, so we don't stop there. The copy is checked route by route — the key routes are rendered and captured, not just pinged. This catches breakage a status code hides: e.g. a page that returns 200 but renders a blank white block.
4. 4
   You review it yourself

   Open the staging URL, click around, place a test order. When you're satisfied it's a faithful copy, you proceed.
5. 5
   You flip DNS — on your schedule

   Only now do you point your domain (see Point your domain & go live). Your old host stays warm until the new records resolve, so there's no gap and no blank page in between.
