Imagine that you have been tasked with migrating a WordPress site over to a new hosting platform. A process that has taken all day, you are minutes away from completion when suddenly, you see the blue screen of death (or some other internal error that has caused the WordPress migration process to go awry).
Time and effort have been wasted, and you must start the WordPress migration all over again from scratch. You then realize that your client won’t be too happy when you bill them for extra time (if you don’t eat the cost yourself). It’s a headache to say the least.
This issue is oh-so common and many businesses have their horror stories to tell. The web design agency Sideways8 lost clients when it ended up taking them a YEAR to migrate their WordPress site over to a new hosting platform (read their story).
