ClickIt Social needed SOLUENCY to take responsibility for the hosting infrastructure and day-to-day hosting operation behind more than 100 WordPress client sites.

Client and context

A digital agency portfolio had become an infrastructure operation, not just a collection of websites.

ClickIt Social is a digital agency responsible for more than 100 WordPress websites built for its clients. At that scale, hosting is no longer a background utility that can be handled one site at a time. The infrastructure, migration planning, security posture, performance, backups, troubleshooting, and day-to-day operating decisions all affect a portfolio of client relationships at once.

The engagement therefore called for more than a server move. ClickIt Social needed SOLUENCY to assume responsibility for the hosting environment and the ongoing hosting operation behind the portfolio. The work had to account for the condition of individual legacy websites while still treating the environment as one coordinated agency operation.

WordPress client sites migrated and managed

The challenge

More than 100 WordPress sites had to leave aging infrastructure while malware was handled along the way.

The agency needed to move away from its prior infrastructure without turning the migration into more than 100 disconnected projects. Each WordPress site carried its own plugins, themes, content, configuration, and history, but the portfolio still needed a consistent destination and a practical operating plan.

The migration also exposed malware on multiple legacy websites. Those issues could not simply be copied into the new environment or ignored until later. SOLUENCY had to mitigate the affected sites during the broader move, right-size the destination environment, and establish a stronger foundation for security and performance without inventing a one-size-fits-all claim about every website.

The SOLUENCY solution

One coordinated migration, security, and hosting-operations response for the entire portfolio.

SOLUENCY approached the work as an agency technical-operations engagement. The migration, malware mitigation, environment sizing, security, performance, and ongoing management were treated as connected responsibilities rather than separate tickets.

Migration planning and execution

Moved more than 100 WordPress client sites from the prior infrastructure.

Right-sized environment

Adjusted the hosting environment to better fit the portfolio and its operational needs.

Malware mitigation

Addressed malware found on multiple legacy sites during the migration process.

Security and performance

Set the migrated portfolio up with a stronger security and performance foundation.

Ongoing hosting operations

Continues managing the hosting operation after the migration was completed.

The portfolio was moved from the old infrastructure into a right-sized environment designed around the actual operating need. During that process, SOLUENCY addressed malware found on legacy sites and established a cleaner security and performance baseline for the migrated websites.

The engagement did not end when the files and databases reached the new environment. SOLUENCY continues to manage ClickIt Social’s hosting operation, giving the agency a technical partner that can respond across infrastructure, migrations, monitoring, performance, security, and troubleshooting as client needs arise.

Outcome and result

ClickIt Social gained a right-sized environment and one accountable technical operations partner.

ClickIt Social’s portfolio of more than 100 WordPress client sites was migrated away from the previous infrastructure, malware on multiple legacy sites was mitigated during the process, and the destination environment was configured around the portfolio’s needs.

The practical result is an ongoing operating relationship rather than a completed one-time migration. ClickIt Social can remain focused on its agency and client work while SOLUENCY carries the hosting operation and provides continuity across the technical issues that affect the portfolio.

Focused outcome

More than 100 WordPress sites were migrated, right-sized, secured, and placed under ongoing SOLUENCY hosting operations.
