In term of online business, migration service is a conversion process from one online platform to another, including CMS (Content Management System) transfer, domain switches, and site migration.
CMS Migration
Do I need to change my platform? CMS migration does not mean to delete your site and destroy your brand. On the contrary, it’s taking your brand to the next level by making it easier for site owner to manage and visitors to navigate.
Let’s take a look on WordPress and OpenCart. Which one to pick?
- If you are just warming up, selling less than 50 slow-moving items per month, then go for WordPress. It has tons of ecommerce platform to help your project
- If you are a medium seller with hundreds of items and need to restock often, OpenCart is one of the most complete and easy-to-navigate solution that supports frontend and backend features for online store.
Although tens of thousands new sites are created per day, many people still use ready-made web stores as their digital shops. Why? Because it can be customized and most basic features are all set, such as different styles of templates, drag-and-drop site builder, and payment gateway integration.
Now, the problem starts to flow when suddenly these services stop working. For eBay sellers, this nightmare will come true in the next six months. Recently, eBay has announced a shocking news to shut down ProStores and Magento Go on February 1, 2015. While online retailers still have time to sell their products this holiday, no one can guarantee the quality of their service during closing time.

Moz.com, one of the well known SEO service is a perfect example for this. They change their domain from SEOMoz.com into Moz.com mainly because they want to expand their business to help people do a better marketing, instead of just a small scope of SEO. Changing domain names is a big decision and requires a great deal of planning and time, mostly within 6 months up to one year.
