Moving your website to FastSites from another platform is a common step, and a little planning makes it smooth and stress-free.
Start by taking stock of what you currently have: your pages, your content, your images, and importantly your domain. Knowing exactly what needs to move means nothing gets left behind.
Your content — text and images — generally needs to be recreated or imported into your new FastSites site. It’s a good opportunity to refresh anything outdated rather than copying across old material wholesale.
Your domain is the piece that makes your new site appear at your existing web address. You don’t usually need to move the domain itself; instead you point it at FastSites by updating its DNS records once your new site is ready.
The golden rule is to build and review your new site fully before switching the domain over. That way your live site stays up on the old platform until the moment your FastSites version is ready to take its place, avoiding any gap in service.
