Move to managed WordPress hosting, launch or repair a WooCommerce store, and harden a site with Jetpack backups and security — planned, migrated, and verified by a studio enrolled in Automattic for Agencies.
Most WordPress problems that look like plugin problems are hosting problems. Slow admin screens, checkout timeouts, white screens after an update, backups that were never actually running, a site that goes down and nobody notices for two days, support tickets that end with “try disabling your plugins” — those are symptoms of a stack that was chosen on price alone.
You may not need a rebuild. You may need the same site on infrastructure that was built for WordPress, with backups you can restore from, security scanning that runs on its own, and a support path that understands what WordPress actually is.
FoxDev Studio plans, migrates, and maintains WordPress and WooCommerce sites across the Automattic ecosystem — WordPress.com, Pressable, WooCommerce, Jetpack, and Akismet. We handle the migration, the DNS, the store configuration, and the verification so the move is boring and the site keeps working.
Scope depends on site size, plugin count, theme complexity, store data, media library size, domain and DNS access, traffic, and any custom code already in place. We review those constraints before quoting so the cutover is planned rather than improvised.
WordPress.com and Pressable setup, plan sizing, staging environments, and the migration path off shared or legacy hosting.
Full-site moves with staging rehearsal, media and database transfer, redirect mapping, DNS cutover, and post-move verification.
Store setup, product and variation structure, shipping and tax configuration, checkout flow, and payment gateway integration.
Diagnosing broken checkouts, failed orders, stuck stock, plugin conflicts, and stores inherited from a previous developer.
Real-time backup and one-click restore, malware and vulnerability scanning, downtime monitoring, and brute-force protection.
Comment and form spam filtering configured so real enquiries reach the inbox and the rest never does.
CDN and caching configuration, image handling, database cleanup, and fixing the plugin stack that is actually causing the slowdown.
Core, theme, and plugin updates on a schedule, restore testing, uptime monitoring, and a human to call when something breaks.
Automattic makes several things that all get described as “WordPress hosting”, and they are not interchangeable. FoxDev Studio is enrolled in Automattic for Agencies, which gives us access to agency programs and solutions across these products. We use that to match the product to the workload — not to push everyone onto the same plan.
For site owners moving off shared, legacy, or failing hosting onto managed WordPress.
Includes hosting audit, plan recommendation, staging rehearsal, full site and media migration, redirect mapping, DNS cutover, SSL verification, post-move testing, and handover documentation.
For new stores that need building properly, and existing stores that need fixing.
Includes store audit or setup, product and variation structure, shipping and tax configuration, payment gateway integration, checkout testing, plugin conflict resolution, and performance review under load.
For sites that are staying where they are but need backups, monitoring, and speed sorted out.
Includes Jetpack backup and restore configuration with a tested restore, malware and vulnerability scanning, downtime monitoring, Akismet setup, caching and CDN configuration, database cleanup, and an update policy.
A hosting move touches DNS, email routing, SSL, redirects, checkout, and every integration pointed at the old server. Done carelessly it takes down the site, the store, and the company inbox at the same time.
FoxDev Studio rehearses migrations on staging, changes only the DNS records the move requires, tests checkout and forms before and after cutover, verifies that backups restore rather than assuming they do, and documents what changed. The goal is a move nobody outside the project notices.
FoxDev Studio is enrolled in Automattic for Agencies. When a client purchases Automattic products through a referral we generate, FoxDev Studio may earn a commission. Referrals are created per client through the agency program — there is no public affiliate link or promo code involved, and using one is never a condition of working with us.
That arrangement does not change the recommendation. We recommend Automattic products when they fit the client’s workload, budget, and operational needs, and we will say so plainly when a different host, platform, or gateway is the better answer.
The goal is no visible downtime. We build and test the site on staging first, then plan the DNS cutover so the old server keeps serving until the new one is verified. Brief propagation differences are possible; a broken site is not the plan.
No responsible migration promises perfection before seeing the site, but preserving and verifying your data is the entire job. We migrate to staging, verify content, media, users, and store data there, and keep the source site intact until the move is confirmed.
Yes. Stores need extra care because orders, customers, and stock keep changing during the move. We plan a cutover window, handle the final data sync, and test checkout end to end before and after.
It depends on the site. WordPress.com suits owners who want hosting, updates, and support consolidated with less infrastructure to manage. Pressable suits agencies, multi-site portfolios, and heavier or more customized builds. We recommend after auditing the site, not before.
No. Plenty of engagements are backups, security scanning, performance, or WooCommerce work on a site that stays exactly where it is. If the current host is fine, we will tell you it is fine.
Then we say so. Some sites depend on server-level configuration, specific PHP extensions, or software that managed platforms restrict. We check that during the audit rather than discovering it mid-migration.
It can be, if DNS is changed carelessly — which is why we review your existing records before touching anything. Website hosting and email routing are separate records, and we move only what the migration requires.
Real-time backups with one-click restore, malware and vulnerability scanning, downtime monitoring, brute-force protection, and performance tooling. Its main value is that it keeps working without anyone remembering to check on it.
Yes. Inherited stores are a large part of this work. We audit what is installed, find the conflicts, document the setup, and fix the checkout — including sites that arrived with no documentation at all.
Yes. Updates on a schedule, tested restores, uptime monitoring, and a person to contact when something breaks. Migration without ongoing care just resets the clock.
Possibly. FoxDev Studio is enrolled in Automattic for Agencies and may earn a commission when a client purchases Automattic products through a referral we generate. It is disclosed, it is not a condition of working with us, and it does not change what we recommend.
It depends on site size, media library size, plugin count, custom code, store data, and DNS access. A straightforward brochure site is quick. A large WooCommerce store with integrations needs a planned window and a staging rehearsal.
Tell us what the site is, where it is hosted, and what keeps going wrong. We will audit it, recommend the setup that actually fits, and plan the cleanest way to get there.
