Introduction
Moving your business website to a private server can provide numerous benefits, such as increased performance, better security, and more control over your resources. Empress makes it easy to schedule your site migration to a private server directly from your site’s dashboard. This guide will guide you through this process in a simple, step-by-step manner.
What is Site Migration?
In the context of Empress, Site Migration is the process of moving your website from its current location (server) to a new server. This could be due to a variety of reasons such as the need for more resources, greater control, or enhanced security.
Scheduling Site Migration
Here’s how you can schedule your website’s migration to a private server:
-
Access Your Site’s Dashboard: This is where you’ll find all the tools and options related to your website.
-
Choose ‘Change Bench’: In your site’s dashboard, look for a dropdown menu. From this menu, select the ‘Change Bench’ option.
-
Create a Private Bench: If you don’t have an available private bench (a dedicated server space for your website), you’ll need to create one. To do this, click on ‘Clone current Bench’. This will create a compatible private bench for your website to move to.
-
Start the Migration Process: If there’s a compatible private bench available, click on ‘Change Bench’. This will initiate the process of moving your website to the chosen server space.
Roles and Permissions
Remember, only users with the appropriate permissions can schedule a site migration. If you’re unsure about your user role or permissions, consult with your account administrator or reach out to our support team.
