Setting up a site migration involves a series of steps to ensure that the transition of your website from one domain to another, or from one host to another, is smooth and does not negatively affect your site’s performance or search engine rankings. Here’s a broad overview of the process :
1. Planning
- Identify the Scope: Determine what needs to be migrated (e.g., domain, host, content management system).
- Timeline: Create a realistic timeline for the migration, including a launch date.
- Backup: Always start with a complete backup of your website (files and database).
2. Pre-Migration Preparations
- Technical Audit: Document the structure of your current site, including URLs, metadata, and any custom code.
- SEO Baseline: Record your current search engine rankings, traffic levels, and any key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Environment Setup: Set up the development/staging environment for the new site.
3. Migration
- Content Transfer: Move your website’s content, including databases, to the new environment.
- URL Mapping: If changing domain or structure, map old URLs to new ones to preserve SEO.
- Technical Configuration: Update DNS settings for the new domain/host. Configure server settings, including redirects, security settings (SSL certificates), and email accounts.
4. Testing
- Functional Testing: Ensure all aspects of the site work as expected (links, forms, scripts).
- SEO and Compatibility Testing: Verify that redirects work correctly and the site is optimized for search engines. Check for mobile compatibility and loading speed.
- User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Possibly engage end-users or stakeholders to validate the migration from a user perspective.
5. Launch
- Go Live: Change the DNS records to point to the new server or update the domain settings.
- Monitor: Closely monitor the site for errors, broken links, and any unexpected behavior.
6. Post-Migration
- Verify Ownership: Use tools like Google Search Console to claim ownership of the new site.
- SEO Monitoring: Monitor your site’s search performance closely for several weeks. Look for changes in rankings, traffic, and indexation.
- Redirects: Ensure that all necessary redirects from the old site to the new one are in place and working as expected.
- Announce: Inform your users about the migration through emails, social media, or a blog post on your website.
Additional Tips
- Communication: Keep stakeholders and users informed about the migration process and timelines.
- Documentation: Keep detailed records of the migration process, including any issues encountered and how they were resolved.
It's also helpful to have a rollback plan in case something goes wrong during the migration. Finally, consider hiring professionals if the migration seems complex or if you're unsure about any step.

I am trying to migrate from the Linux controller to the cloud, but the import always fails.
What version must the export have so that it can be imported in the cloud with 5.14.2.200?
