Free WordPress migration service in Pakistan from any host (GoDaddy, Hostinger, Namecheap, HosterPK, HostBreak, WebSouls). Includes files, database, plugins, themes, media uploads, SSL setup and DNS migration. Zero downtime, 24-hour turnaround, search-replace for URL changes, fully tested before DNS switch. Free with annual hosting; PKR 2,500 standalone.
Theme customisations, plugins, posts, media library, users, WooCommerce orders and ACF custom fields all preserved exactly. WP-CLI's `search-replace` command rewrites URLs inside serialized data — the brittle plugin-based methods most PK freelancers and the popular free Migrate Guru plugin sometimes mangle. Standard tier from PKR 1,499 per site; White Label tier from Rs 3,999 for WordPress agencies and freelancers. Free with annual HostingWalay hosting.

Theme down to ACF custom fields — WP-CLI moves the entire WordPress state without the serialized-data corruption that plugin-based migrators sometimes produce. The eight items below cover every common WP site shape.
Standard WP site at the base rate; WooCommerce, large site or multisite as flat add-ons. One-time fee per site, no recurring billing. For reference, GoWP charges around $99/site (~Rs 27,700) for white-label WP migrations and Codeable WP freelancers typically quote $150-300 per site — HW Standard is 90%+ cheaper, in flat PKR.

Anonymous WP migration handoff
You hand over source wp-admin and hosting access; we drive WP-CLI end-to-end. WhatsApp updates from your Karachi WP engineer as each step completes. Total SLA: under 24 hours for standard WP sites, under 48 for WooCommerce, multisite or 5 GB+ sites.
Submit the form or WhatsApp us; provide source wp-admin + hosting / SFTP access (read-only is fine). We confirm scope (standard / WooCommerce / large / multisite) and start the clock the same business day.
WP-CLI exports the database, files, uploads directory and wp-config from the source. Plugin and theme licence keys captured separately. Source site stays live and untouched throughout.
Files uploaded, database imported, WP-CLI `search-replace` rewrites old URLs to the new domain inside serialized data (theme options, widget settings, ACF custom fields, WooCommerce session data). Plugins re-activated; licences re-validated.
Site goes live on a temporary URL on the destination. You verify front-end, wp-admin login, theme integrity, plugin pages, WooCommerce cart and checkout, payment-gateway test mode. DNS is not touched until you sign off.
DNS TTL pre-lowered to 300 seconds 24 hours ahead. Final WP-CLI delta-sync runs (write-freeze typically under 5 minutes), DNS flips and both old and new serve during propagation. Visitors see no perceivable downtime; WooCommerce session continuity preserved.
The popular free plugins (Migrate Guru, All-in-One WP Migration) work for simple blogs but routinely mangle serialized theme options, ACF repeater fields and WooCommerce session data on complex sites. WP-CLI's `search-replace` is what WordPress core developers actually use — it's the safest path for any site beyond a basic blog.
Rewrites old URLs inside serialized PHP arrays without breaking them. Plugin-based migrators that find-and-replace in raw SQL routinely corrupt this kind of data.
Orders, customers, products, payment gateway configs, shipping zones, tax rules and coupons all transferred with WC-specific WP-CLI commands. Session data preserved through cutover.
A named local engineer handles every WordPress migration end-to-end. Communication in Urdu, English or Roman Urdu; WhatsApp updates as each WP-CLI step completes.
We export from the source, restore on the destination, run search-replace, test on a preview URL, then flip DNS. The source WordPress site is never modified — rollback is reverting one DNS record.
Free with any annual HostingWalay hosting plan. Standalone Standard tier: Rs 1,499 per site, plus flat add-ons: WooCommerce + Rs 1,500, large WP (5-50 GB) + Rs 3,500, multisite network + Rs 6,500. White Label tier for WordPress agencies and freelancers: Rs 3,999 per site (anonymous handoff, branded reports, NDA available). For comparison, GoWP charges around $99 per site (~Rs 27,700) for white-label WP migrations and Codeable WP freelancers typically quote $150-300 per site — HW Standard is 90%+ cheaper. The free Migrate Guru plugin works for simple blogs but routinely mangles serialized data on complex sites; this paid SKU buys WP-CLI quality + manual oversight.
Website Migration (Rs 2,499 Standard) uses platform-agnostic file-based methods (tar/zip + database dump) — works on any CMS. WordPress Migration (Rs 1,499 Standard) uses WP-CLI native commands — serialized data (theme options, widget settings, ACF custom fields, WooCommerce session data) preserved exactly, image URLs rewritten cleanly via `search-replace`. Cheaper than Website Migration because WP-CLI automates most of the work, more reliable than plugin-based migrators on complex sites. If your source is WordPress, this is the right SKU.
For a basic blog with default theme and standard plugins, Migrate Guru and All-in-One WP Migration usually work fine and are free. This paid SKU buys you something different: manual oversight on serialized-data edge cases (ACF repeater fields with nested arrays, WooCommerce session data, complex theme options), compatibility debug when a plugin breaks on the destination, WhatsApp support in Urdu/English/Roman Urdu when something goes wrong, and (for the White Label tier) anonymous handoff with branded reports for agencies whose client should never see another logo. If you're confident your site is simple and you can debug yourself, Migrate Guru is fine. If not, Rs 1,499 buys insurance.
Yes — with the WooCommerce add-on (+ Rs 1,500) we transfer orders (all status), customers, products (with variations + images), payment gateway configs, shipping zones, tax rules, coupons and cart abandonment data. We use WooCommerce-specific WP-CLI commands (`wc tool`) so order IDs and customer relationships stay intact. Payment gateways with PK-specific configs (JazzCash, EasyPaisa, PayFast) tested in sandbox mode before DNS cutover.
Custom themes (developed or purchased) and custom plugins are preserved with code + settings + licence keys. Premium plugins (Elementor Pro, ACF Pro, WPML, Yoast Premium, Rank Math Pro, WP Rocket) work on the destination if the licence is valid — we guide you through deactivating on the source and re-activating on the new domain. License re-issue from the vendor (if needed) is on your side, but we coordinate the timing so there's no downtime in plugin functionality.
No — WP-CLI's `search-replace` command rewrites every reference to the old domain throughout the database, including serialized PHP arrays where plugin-based migrators frequently fail. Image URLs in the media library, internal post-to-post links, theme customiser settings, ACF custom field values, WooCommerce product image references — all updated cleanly. Manual SQL find-and-replace would corrupt serialized data; WP-CLI does it safely.
Yes — with the multisite add-on (+ Rs 6,500) we handle the full network: super-admin config, all sub-sites, domain mapping, network-level plugins and themes. Subdomain-based, subdirectory-based and domain-mapped multisite all supported. We migrate the network as a single coordinated job so all sub-sites cut over together — no split-brain.
The source WP site stays live throughout. We pre-lower DNS TTL to 300 seconds 24 hours before cutover; after preview URL sign-off, a final WP-CLI delta-sync runs (write-freeze typically under 5 minutes), DNS flips and both old and new serve during propagation. WooCommerce session continuity is preserved — in-progress carts and customer login sessions transition cleanly. Visitors see no maintenance page and no observable break. Most customers report a 30-60% PageSpeed improvement post-migration thanks to HostingWalay's LiteSpeed cache + NVMe storage.
