Migrate To Liquid Web & Nexcess

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Tried copying a production site at Nexcess to a dev server also at Nexcess. Verified all data entered correctly. Would not work. I’ve had problems with this thing every time they recommend I use it. Drives me crazy that they don’t ever fix it.

   Crashed my liquid web cloud VPS server. Rebooting didn’t fix it. Had to restore the server from a backup. Unreal

   Hi, I had 3 sites: A simple Divi theme based site; A Divi theme based site with WooCommerce basic setup; An advanced Avada powered site using WooCommerce, membership plugin, blog and much more. The plugin worked perfectly to transfer my 3 sites and then once I followed the rest of the going live checklist my sites went live on LiquidWeb instantly. It really was a perfect stress free experience. I highly recommend this plugin and also note that it works on Nexcess managed WordPress hosting which is what I used – Nexcess hosting is a sub brand that is now part of LiquidWeb. Dale.

   A great plugin. LiquidWeb provides lots of videos and documentation for moving sites over to their managed WordPress environment. I was able to move my site, update DNS, and push everything live within 30 minutes. Super easy.

   Very useful plugin for migrating to Managed WordPress, and also for cloning existing sites on the platform.

   the integration with the managed wordpress platform is perfect; set up your target site at liquidweb, and the dashboard feeds you all the information you need for the plugin. install and be free from your old host 🙂
