STEP 13
Wait for data to migrate
The plugin will now begin transferring your content. You can track the progress of the migration by returning to the ‘WordPress Migration’ advanced option.
Completing the migration
When the migration is completed, you will be able to preview your site on our servers by typing YOURDOMAIN.COM.temp.link, replacing YOURDOMAIN.COM with the domain of your live website.
If the website looks as you would expect it to, then you are ready to take the website live with 34SP.com. This step is essential to complete your migration and should be completed before any further changes are made to your website.
The site will not be live with 34SP.com until you update your DNS or nameservers. Our nameservers are:
ns.34sp.com
ns2.34sp.com
Update this in your domain provider’s control panel to take all services for your site live with us. Please note that this will also change your domain’s mail service provider.
If you are unsure on how to correctly repoint your domain’s nameservers or DNS traffic, please contact our support team to assist you with the final step to take your site live with us.
