I’d like to recreate an existing website, using its posts, and replace it with a new website.

What is the best way to preserve the old links for the posts exactly as they are now?

Reverse proxy ? Do I then create the site on My Kinsta ?

Hi @Blacksarah314, welcome to DevKinsta! If all you are wanting to preserve are the posts, you can just use WordPress’ built-in export/export. That usually works well enough. You can import your exported posts into a new DevKinsta site.
