01

Built by people who know WordPress inside out

12+ years building blogs, tool sites, news sites and WooCommerce stores. The stack is tuned for what ranks and what sells.

02

Every site gets its own resources

Each website gets its own database, PHP workers and CPU and RAM, so a traffic spike on one site leaves the others fast.

Server cron, one switch

Hand WP-Cron to the server per site, so scheduled posts and WooCommerce tasks run on time, with or without visitors.

Blocks unnatural traffic

Attack scanners and bot floods are blocked before they reach WordPress, so your site stays fast.

You talk to us, not AI

WordPress specialists on live chat, from a quick question to a full migration.

Can you move my site from my old host?

Yes. Send us the address and we move it inside 24 hours, while your old site keeps running.

PHP version switchable per website

PHP 8.1 to 8.5 per site, with extensions like imagick, soap and ionCube a switch away.

Moving in

We move your website. You stay online while we do it.

Two ways in, both free, and neither one takes your site offline. The only thing you are choosing is who does the work.

Most sites inside 24 hours

  1. You

    Pick a plan

    Minutes

    You choose a plan, add the domain name, choose a data centre location and purchase the plan. Then create a migration request from the control panel providing some details of the website, and we will migrate it for you while your website stays entirely live.

  2. Us

    We move your site here

    Inside 24 hours

    Based on the login details or backup files you gave us, we move your website from your old host to HostCrafter — and in this entire process your website stays entirely online and live.

  3. You

    Check it, then change the DNS

    When you say

    After the migration is completed we will let you know. Before changing the DNS we suggest you check your migrated website using the temp URL, and if everything works then change the DNS. There are three ways to connect your domain: your existing DNS service like Cloudflare, our nameservers, or the CNAME given in the control panel — which is how you use our CDN while staying on Cloudflare.

We take care of your website. Tell us if your site is broken or has malware in it and we will fix it as part of the migration process — we handle themes, plugins and all kinds of technical WordPress things.

No ticket, no queue

  1. You

    Connect your live site, or use a backup

    Where you are now

    Type your live site’s address and approve HostCrafter in its WordPress — the site is copied straight across, and our small connect plugin is removed when it is done. Or take a backup of your site using any of the plugins — UpdraftPlus, All-in-One WP Migration, Duplicator, BackWPup — or just a zip of the files and an SQL export.

  2. You

    Open Quick Migration from the control panel

    1–2 minutes

    From the control panel click Quick Migration and choose From live site or From backup. For a live site, type its address and click Copy the site. For a backup, select or add the domain you want to migrate, then select the type of backup you are holding. Upload the backup file — .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .gz, .sql, .sql.gz, .wpress and .daf are all accepted — and click Migrate. It usually takes 1–2 minutes, and longer for larger sites.

  3. You

    Change the DNS

    When you say

    Once the migration is done, before changing the DNS we suggest you check the website using the temp URL. If everything works, you have one last job: change the DNS. For Cloudflare or your existing DNS provider use the IP or the CNAME we give you, or you can use our nameservers instead.

If it stops halfway, tell us in live chat and we will help you complete it.

There is a person here, and they know WordPress

Not a call centre reading a script. Whoever answers you can also log into the server your site is on. English or Hindi.

Questions

Questions people ask before they move

Ask on live chat if yours isn't here.

Do you have any hidden fees?

No. No setup fee, no migration fee, no SSL or backup fees. The price on the plan is the price you pay today.

How fast is the migration, and will my site go down?

Most sites are moved inside 24 hours, and a simple blog is often a few hours. Your current site stays online the whole time — we build the copy here first and you only change the DNS at the end, once you have looked at it and you are happy.

Is this cPanel?

No. Our own panel, built for WordPress: file manager, phpMyAdmin, email, SSL, staging, backups, PHP switching, WP-CLI and one-click WP login.

Can I upgrade or downgrade later?

Yes, from the panel. Your sites stay where they are and the limits change. A downgrade needs your usage to fit the smaller plan.

What is your backup policy?

Every website is backed up nightly and kept 30 days, on every plan. Take your own backup anytime and restore any of them from the panel.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes. Thirty days, no questions asked: if HostCrafter is not right for you, tell us within 30 days and we refund it. The refund policy has the details.

Can I host something that is not WordPress?

We host WordPress and WooCommerce only. That focus is what makes the platform fast.

What is included in support?

Anything hosting-related: server problems, WordPress installs, domain and DNS setup, SSL, email, databases, and cleaning up malware if it ever gets in. You get 24/7 technical support. Live chat is open 10:00 AM to midnight IST, and tickets are answered within an hour.

Move your site and see the difference

We do the migration. Your old host keeps running until you switch. 30-day money back.
