 * A couple of years ago, I used migrate guru to successfully migrate several web
   sites. It was one of the easiest experiences I’ve ever had.
 * I need to change hosting providers again, and this time, I’ve wasted hours and
   gotten nowhere. Migration Guru used to let you migrate the same domain between
   two hosts.
 * Now, it forces you to use a migration key scheme that requires you to log into
   both sites at once. Not a trivial task, since both sites need to have the same
   domain name. So you need to edit your hosts file and bounce back and forth between
   the plugin screens.
 * Then once I was ready to go, it told me the migration key had expired and I needed
   to do the whole thing again.
 * Then it let me enter the details by hand, but failed to connect no matter which
   credentials I entered — SSH, FTP, or cPanel.
 * In short, I don’t know what they did to this, but a once-superb plugin has gone
   the way of so much of high-tech and become an incompetent, buggy, broken mess.
