Free site migration

We move your site. You watch.

We reach out within one business day to schedule your migration. We migrate to the new server, test everything, then switch your DNS. The whole process takes under 24 hours for most sites.

  1. 1

    Send us the details

    Tell us your domain name, your current host, and which plan you're moving to.

  2. 2

    We set up your new server

    We provision your space, install WordPress, and configure caching and SSL before we touch your live site.

  3. 3

    We clone and test

    Your site is cloned to the new server. We run a full checklist (forms, checkout, emails, plugins) before anything goes live.

  4. 415–60 min propagation

    DNS switched, you go live

    With your sign-off, we update your DNS. Your old hosting keeps running for 48h as a safety net.

Questions

Hosting questions, answered.

Something else on your mind? We respond within one business day.

Ask us directly

Everything. We copy your WordPress files, export and import your database, migrate your media library, carry over your email settings, test the site on the new server before touching DNS, and handle the DNS cutover. You don't need to touch anything technical. The only thing we need from you is read access to your current hosting account (via cPanel, Plesk or SFTP credentials).

No. We clone your site to the new server first and test it thoroughly using a temporary preview URL. Only when you're happy does the DNS get switched. The old server stays live until propagation is confirmed. Most migrations have zero visible downtime.

Just your domain name, your current hosting provider, and the plan you want. Once you get in touch we'll send you a checklist asking for hosting credentials (SFTP or cPanel login, or a backup export if you prefer). We never ask for your domain registrar password: only your hosting file access.

We manage DNS (Cloudflare) but we recommend you keep domain registration in your own name at a registrar of your choice (Namecheap, 123-Reg, or wherever you already have it). We never hold your domain for you: it's always in your account. We'll walk you through updating your nameservers once your new server is ready.

We'll email you 30 days before renewal with an invoice. If you don't renew, your site keeps running for 30 days on the current server, so you have plenty of time to migrate away if you decide to leave. No surprise billing, no site deletion without notice.

Yes. You can upgrade at any time and pay the difference pro-rated for the remaining period. Downgrades take effect at renewal. To change plan, just email [email protected] with your domain and the plan you want.

Our managed WordPress hosting does not include mailboxes. Email and web hosting are separate services, and we've found mixing them on the same server causes reliability issues. We recommend Google Workspace (from £4.60/user/mo) or Zoho Mail (free tier available). We'll help you set up MX records as part of the migration process.

Move your site to
hosting that works.

Request your free migration or drop us a line if you have questions first. We respond within one business day.
