Unique Site Move – Current Domain in use, Client built out on another domain, wants to move to new server.

[ad_1]

Which way is the best to go about making this move as smooth as possible in WordPress?

* MainSite.com is an active site built 20 years ago.
* NewSite.com is the one their design team built on a temporary web address at another hosting account.
* Client buys new Web Hosting for their new site design with MainSite.com as the URL. (It will not resolve there until DNS is changed to the new hosting account of course.)

What’s the best way to move this new site design to the new hosting account?

I usually use All-In-One Migration tool but to use that, the MainSite.com domain would have to resolve first on the new server first.

I can probably install WordPress on the new server and edit the wp-config file like this, right?
define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://NewSiteHosting.com/~username’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://NewSiteHosting.com/~username’);

Do I just have to wait until the domain name resolves to the new hosting account before I can transfer the new design?
