With the ManageWP clone tool, you can create a template website that you can rapidly deploy each time you install WordPress to a new site. This means that it will take you only a few minutes to carry out a task that previously took you hours. You could also use the clone tool to deploy a client’s website from a test server to their server, or to migrate your site to a new server or domain. You can clone to a new site, or overwrite an existing one.

example, you will probably have a decision to make
about cloning your website. What is the best way to do
it, can you even manage it yourself, and how time and
budget consuming the whole process will be?
Most of the companies that can do this for you are over-
priced and once they finish the job they forget all about
your company and you. Also, you don’t want to rely on
someone you don’t trust, because you can lose time and
money in the process.

3. With ManageWP you get a dedicated team of people
who will do their best to make you satisfy in the long
run. The tools will be available for you so you can clone
the website in a short time frame and move on to other
cloning projects that may come up in the future, for the
same price.
Rapid deployment is one of our strongest assets. You

a client’s website from a test server to their server, or to
migrate your site to a new server or
domain.
