Your old host

Your site, where it is now.

On your old host, serving your visitors. It stays exactly like this until you decide.

Tell us who hosts you.

A login, or an invite to their hosting panel, is all we need. Several sites? Send them all at once.

Still serving every visitor.

Nothing changes here while we copy. Your old site is never modified or deleted.

Orders still land here.

Your shop keeps taking orders on the old host until the switch.

  • Order 1041, received
  • Order 1042, received
  • Order 1043, received
  • Order 1044, received

Still your live site.

Visitors keep seeing the old site while you check the new one. No rush, no deadline.

Your old site, untouched.

Still here, exactly as it was. Point your domain back any time and visitors return to it as that change spreads.

Both hosts serve your site.

While the change spreads, some visitors reach your old host and some reach the new one. Both work, so nobody notices.

Its new home, here.

We move it for you, free: files, database, security certificate and the domain switch, planned so your visitors see no downtime.

We look at it first.

How long the move takes depends mostly on how many files your site has, so you get an estimate before anything starts.

  • A hosting panel login, or an invite
  • Database access
  • Your list of domains
  • An estimate, before we start

We copy everything.

  • The whole database
  • Uploads, plugins and themes
  • Settings and scheduled tasks
  • A free SSL certificate
  • The speed cache, switched on
  • Images moved to separate storage
  • A malware check

The quiet copy.

Until you click Go live, the copy sends no emails and takes no payments, so your customers never get duplicates.

Check it, for as long as you need.

On a temporary address. If anything looks different, we fix it.

  • Homepage and key pages
  • Forms
  • Checkout, if it’s a shop
  • Admin login
  • Images
  • Email delivery

Move your domain.

Usually two A records at your registrar, and we give you the exact values. For shops we plan the switch for a quiet hour.

Moved. And reversible.

Your old site stays untouched until you decide. If anything isn’t right, point your domain back to your old host: visitors return as that change spreads.

Plain answers.

Will my email be affected?

If your email is hosted elsewhere (Gmail, Microsoft 365, Zoho), not at all: your MX records stay the same. If it’s at your current web host, we spot that when we look at your site and guide you through the options, including our mailboxes from €1.90 a month + VAT.

What if something goes wrong?

Your old site is never modified or deleted during the move. Point your domain back to the old host and visitors return to your original site as that change spreads. We also keep a full backup of the migrated state so we can fix it and try again.

Can you move my site from any host?

Almost certainly. If you can give us access to your files and database, we can move it: shared hosting, managed WordPress platforms, a cloud server or a panel we have never seen. Tell us who hosts you now and we confirm before you commit.

Do you support WordPress multisite?

Not as a network, because every site on our platform runs sealed off on its own. We can move each site of a network into its own separate site, with its own database.

How many sites can you move at once?

There is no fixed limit. We work on several sites in parallel, and for a larger batch we agree a schedule with you up front.
