Site Duplicator

Site Duplicator takes the effort out of moving your site to Hosting For Jesus. Your site may already run on WordPress even if you are unaware of it. We examine your current site to let you know if that is the case. Hosting For Jesus handles as much work as possible with minimal involvement on your part. We work with you to verify all functionality before completing the final steps.

Existing WordPress based sites:

If you have access to the WordPress back-end, this can be done using the “Site Export” built into WordPress under the Tools -> Export menu. If you do not have access, ask your provider to provide a Site Export. Once we have a copy of your export, our Site Duplicator creates a WordPress site under yourname.hostingforjesus.com and fully sets up your site. Site Duplicator handles this by importing your export file, going out to your site to download your media, and uploading it to your new site.

Non WordPress/providers that won’t provide a Site Export:

Site Duplicator creates a WordPress site under yourname.hostingforjesus.com. Next, it auto-creates all pages and the menu structure of your existing site. Finally, it downloads all media and uploads it to your new site.

The final step – redirecting traffic

The last step is for you to transfer your domain name for management over to Hosting For Jesus. Hosting For Jesus will not own your domain name and will provide and agreement in writing that this is only for management purposes. If your domain name cannot be transferred, we will provide the DNS settings required to redirect your traffic. Your site is now running on its existing web address on the Hosting For Jesus platform.
