Get started

We move your WordPress site. Free, and you stay online.

Most sites are done inside 24 hours. Your current host keeps serving visitors the whole time, and nothing changes until you have looked at the copy running here and told us you are happy.

How it goes

Four steps, and only one of them is yours

Pick a plan

Choose the plan and the region and create the account. Nothing at all happens to your live website at this point.

Send us the old login, or a backup

Either give us access to your current host, or upload a backup yourself — UpdraftPlus, All-in-One WP Migration, Duplicator, BackWPup, or just files and a database export.

Check it on a temporary address

We rebuild the site here and give you an address to look at it on. Click through it properly. Your live site is still running at the old host.

Change the DNS

When you are happy, point the domain at us. That is the only moment anything moves, and SSL is issued automatically as soon as it does.

What we handle

Including the awkward parts

Files, database and uploads

The whole site, not a theme export. Media library, plugins, users, settings and all.

WooCommerce orders and customers

Products, orders, customers and coupons come across with everything else.

Your mailboxes

If your email is on the old host, we recreate the mailboxes here and tell you exactly what to change in your mail client.

Malware, if there is any

If the site is infected we clean it as part of the move. We are not going to rebuild it here in the same state we found it.

Sites that are already broken

White screens, PHP errors, a version of PHP from 2018. Tell us what it is doing and we will look before you pay.

All of them, not just the first

On an agency plan we will work through the whole list, and tell you honestly which ones are going to be difficult before we start.

What we need from you

One of these is enough:

  • A login to your current hosting control panel, or
  • SFTP or FTP details plus a database export, or
  • A backup file from UpdraftPlus, All-in-One WP Migration, Duplicator or BackWPup, or
  • Just the files and an SQL dump in a zip

If you are locked out of your old host and can only get one of these, send it and we will tell you honestly whether it is enough to rebuild from — before you pay us anything.

You can also do the whole thing yourself. Quick Migration in the panel takes any of those backup formats, uploads it in chunks so a large file does not time out, and rebuilds the site without us being involved.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes, on every plan. Not the first site only, and not on yearly plans only.

Will my site go down?

No. We build the copy here while your old host carries on serving visitors, and you only change DNS at the end, once you have checked it.

How long does it take?

Most sites inside 24 hours. A simple blog is often a few hours. A large WooCommerce store or a list of thirty agency sites takes longer and we will tell you the plan up front.

What if something is missing afterwards?

Tell us and we fix it. The old site is still there and still working, because nothing gets deleted at the other end by us.

Do I have to move my domain registration too?

No. You can leave the domain wherever it is registered and just point it here — usually two records, and we give you the exact values.

Managed WordPress, without the guesswork

Pick a plan, or ask us first — we would rather talk you into the right one than sell you the big one.
