FastComet Migration: Who It’s For
FastComet’s $2.49/mo FastCloud (renewing at $9.95) suits budget-conscious WordPress users needing:
- 15GB storage (enough for small-to-medium sites)
- 45-day money-back cushion for testing migrations
- 100% uptime track record (30d/90d/365d verified)
- Global datacenters (10 locations, including US/EU/Asia)
Avoid if you need >15GB storage or dislike cPanel (assumed—not stated in pack).
Pre-Migration Prep
- Back up everything (files + database) — FastComet doesn’t mention free migration in the pack, so assume DIY.
- Lower DNS TTL to 300s (5 mins) 24h pre-migration to speed up cutover.
- Note credentials: FastComet provides 24/7 live chat/ticket/phone support if stuck.
Moving Files + Database
- Upload files via FTP/SFTP to FastComet’s server (exact method depends on their cPanel setup—pack doesn’t specify).
- Import database using phpMyAdmin or CLI (no “one-click migrator” noted in pack).
- Update
wp-config.phpwith new DB credentials.
Testing + DNS Cutover
- Test via temp URL (e.g.,
serverIP/~username) — check:- 114ms TTFB (desktop) matches expectations
- 2.3s fully loaded time (desktop) for performance baseline
- Point DNS to FastComet’s nameservers (no IP mentioned in pack).
- Monitor uptime post-migration (their 100% track record suggests reliability).
