Your current site migration to KloudStack is initiated by requesting access to your WordPress. This enables us to make informed recommendations regarding the appropriate stack setup for your specific needs.
Prior to commencing the migration process, it is essential to gather the following information:
- Admin access to your WordPress site.
- Access credentials for your current hosting provider. If you don’t have access, please liaise with your current hosting provider to obtain the necessary credentials.
