Ghost Migration in Bath
Migrating publications onto Ghost for Bath organisations, where the content is the straightforward part. Posts and pages import readily; members, their subscription status and the payment relationships behind them are the difficult half — and getting that wrong means charging people incorrectly or losing revenue silently.
Why this comes up
The problem
The posts imported cleanly, and eight hundred paying subscribers have to move with their billing intact.
What you get
What we deliver
- Content imported and verified, including images and internal links
- Members migrated with their tier and status preserved
- Payment relationships handled deliberately, with the provider's migration path used
- Free and paid segmentation reproduced, so access matches what people bought
- Email list and sending reputation considered, since a new sending setup starts fresh
- Redirects mapped, as post URL structures rarely match between platforms

Ghost Migration in Bath — common questions
- Why are subscribers the hard part?
- Because money is attached. A member record is straightforward; the active subscription, its billing date, its price and its history live with the payment provider, and migrating those requires the provider's own process rather than an export from the old site.
- What happens to existing subscriptions?
- It depends on the route taken, and it must be established before anything moves. Options range from transferring the relationship to asking members to resubscribe, and the second loses people — so the choice deserves proper attention rather than being discovered mid-migration.
- Does sending reputation carry across?
- Not automatically. A new sending configuration begins without established reputation, so a first send to a large list can perform poorly — warming up gradually and authenticating the domain properly is what avoids landing in spam on the launch send.
- How different are the URLs?
- Different enough to need mapping. Post address structures vary between platforms, so a publication with years of archives needs redirects for each — and for a site whose traffic comes largely from older posts, that mapping is the migration's most valuable artefact.
- Do you work with businesses across Somerset?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South West, including Bath and the surrounding Somerset area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Bath businesses do you usually work with?
- Visitor booking and ticketing for heritage operators, and brand work for independents competing on a very crowded high street. Beyond that we work across Tourism & Heritage, Higher Education, Professional Services, Retail and Software.
- Do you cover the areas around Bath?
- Yes — we work throughout South West, including Bristol, Salisbury, Gloucester. Bath is an urban area of roughly 95,000+, and we take on work across the wider Somerset region rather than the city boundary alone.
