DreamHost Automated Migration

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Reviewers say the migration just works and it's fast, with the only gripe being that you can't remove the plugin from the dashboard once it's done.

   This works the same as Migrate Guru, except with a couple exceptions: Migrate Guru you can actually delete the plugin after the migration whereas with this one you can’t (you can only delete it via FTP). The other exception is with Migrate Guru, you have to install the plugin on the target WordPress site and this plugin you just get the key from the DreamHost dashboard. Migrate Guru and this plugin both utilize BlogVault Migration, so they are essentially the same in that regard. 4 stars because DreamHost made it difficult to delete the plugin after migration. This topic was modified 2 years, 10 months ago by jmclean. Reason: Decreased star - for some reason it kept it at 5

   The only reason I am giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because I am unsure if I can remove the plugin after migration is complete

   I migrated my site from one domain name to another and it worked fast: Instructions at DH Knowledgebase.

   Was moving multiple websites over to DreamHost by hand having issues until I tried the plugin. It worked, would have cut the work down to less than 30 minutes each if I would have tried it sooner
