We\u2019re excited to introduce new features that make migrating your website to DreamHost easier than ever. We understand that site migration can be daunting when you\u2019re not familiar with the steps involved, so we\u2019ve refined the Migrations section of the DreamHost account control panel to simplify the process and ensure your site is set up to be blazing fast! The latest round of improvements includes the following features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specify Alternative Source Domain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re rebranding or moving to a more memorable domain, migrating your site to a different domain name is now easier. This new feature allows you to specify an alternative source domain, streamlining the process and giving you more flexibility during the migration process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support for Temporary Domains<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For users with complex sites, testing in a controlled environment is crucial to ensure everything works perfectly before finalizing a migration. Now, by entering an alternative source domain, DreamHost\u2019s temporary domains, such as example.dreamhosters.com or example.dream.press, can fully utilize the new Migrations Dashboard, giving all users access to our comprehensive migration tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing for your Migration<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our hosting products include features designed for blazing-fast performance, and we ensure they’re ready to go the moment your site migration is complete. During the migration process, you’ll now see a list of optional and required plugins that will be installed once your site is successfully migrated to DreamHost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users migrating to a regular hosting plan will see the following list of plugins:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhanced Scan Results<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know how important it is for you to understand what we find when we perform an initial health scan on your site, especially if what we find might prevent an automated migration. Now, when you scan your site, we\u2019ll display detailed results if any blockers are found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improved DreamPress Flow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve simplified the migration process for DreamPress<\/a> users, so you can focus on what matters most: growing your business and connecting with your audience. Our enhanced workflow handles the technical details, making it easier than ever to seamlessly move your site with confidence. With these updates, getting started on DreamPress is now faster and more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With our latest improvements \u2014 such as streamlined migrations, enhanced testing capabilities, and a more intuitive workflow \u2014 we’re making it easier than ever to transition your site to DreamHost. And we’re just getting started. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to enhance our services to better meet your needs.
