Website Migration & Rescue in Mauritius

Taking over a WordPress site that is slow, broken or abandoned: recovered, migrated and rebuilt on clean foundations, without losing your rankings.

Most of this work starts the same way. The site is slow, the previous developer has stopped replying, nobody knows where the hosting lives, and the plugin running the contact form gave up two years ago. Sometimes the site is fine but stuck on a platform you have outgrown, or on an old build nobody dares to touch. The first job is always the same: get you back in control of your own site.

Most of what I take over is WordPress, so that is where this service is strongest. Recovering access, clearing out plugin clutter, moving to hosting that suits the traffic, and rebuilding the parts that are past saving. Migrations keep your URLs and redirects intact, because a rebuild that loses your search rankings has cost you more than it fixed. You end up with the accounts, the passwords and a written record of where everything now lives.

What this covers

  • Recovering access to hosting, domains and WordPress
  • WordPress migrations between hosts, with no downtime
  • Moving off Wix, Squarespace or an outdated build
  • Clearing plugin clutter and fixing what broke
  • Redirects and URL structure kept intact, so rankings hold
  • Speed, security and Core Web Vitals brought back up

How I work

  1. 01

    Find out what you actually have

    Track down the hosting, the domain, the accounts and the WordPress version underneath. This is usually the slowest part, and it is worth doing properly.

  2. 02

    Back everything up first

    A full copy of the site and its database before anything is touched. Nothing moves until there is something to go back to.

  3. 03

    Rebuild on a staging copy

    The clean-up and the migration happen on a private copy while your live site keeps running. You see it before anyone else does.

  4. 04

    Map the redirects

    Every old URL either survives or points somewhere sensible. This is what protects the search rankings you already have.

  5. 05

    Switch over and watch

    Go live at a quiet hour, check pages and forms on real devices, then monitor search performance over the weeks that follow.

What you walk away with

  • Your site, working, on hosting you control
  • Every account and password handed over in writing
  • A redirect map and a post-migration search check
  • A plan for keeping it healthy from here

Tools I reach for

  • WordPress
  • WooCommerce
A recent outcome

Back in control of a site that works.

No mystery hosting, no missing passwords, no dread about touching it. And the search traffic you had before the move is still there afterwards.
