Why ExpressionEngine sites break on general hosting

It's rarely ExpressionEngine's fault. It's that nobody is watching the whole stack.

PHP changes you didn't plan

Hosts raise PHP versions to stay supported. Older ExpressionEngine versions and add-ons stop working when they do. You find out from a visitor.

With us: we test your site on the new PHP version before we switch it.

Updates nobody runs

ExpressionEngine and add-on updates pile up because nobody wants to be the one who breaks the site. Then a security fix gets skipped.

With us: EE and add-on updates are part of the plan, tested before they go live.

Backups nobody has tested

A host's backup is often one copy, on the same server, that nobody has restored. That's not much help after a hack or a bad update.

With us: nightly backups, stored offsite and kept for 12 months.

One plan, everything included

Hosting, maintenance, and a developer who knows your CMS. No tiers to compare.

  • ExpressionEngine, Craft, WordPress, or Statamic updates, plus add-on and plugin updates
  • Server maintenance and security updates
  • Nightly offsite backups, kept for 12 months
  • Free SSL certificate
  • Uptime monitoring
  • Cookie-free, GDPR-compliant analytics from Fathom, with weekly email reports
  • Cloudflare caching, firewall, and DDoS protection *

Some of the ExpressionEngine sites we work on

Most have been clients for years.

  • The ABC
  • Prolecto
  • inTRAlinea Translation Journal
  • B-Squad
  • Live the Lake NJ
  • McCorkle Nursery
  • Swift First Aid

How the move works

Your current site stays live the whole time. Nothing switches over until you've checked the new copy.

1

Tell us where the site lives now.

Your website address and current host. If you don't have logins, we'll help you get them from your host.

2

We check it before anything moves.

CMS version, PHP version, add-ons, email, and DNS. If something will break on a current server, you hear about it now, with options.

3

We copy the site to its new server.

Files, database, and uploads. Usually within 24 hours.

4

You review the copy.

Click through your pages and log in to the control panel before anything changes for your visitors.

5

We switch DNS at a time you choose.

No downtime. Your email keeps working, and your URLs and search rankings stay the same.

6

We look after it from there.

Updates, backups, and monitoring start right away. We'll tell you when it's safe to cancel your old hosting, after checking nothing else, like email, still depends on it.

Questions we get

ExpressionEngine 7 runs on current PHP and moves over as it is. Older versions often need a PHP version that no longer gets security fixes. If yours does, we'll tell you before the move and quote the upgrade, which is $750 with a hosting plan.
Yes. Updates within your current version, such as 7.5.x, and add-on updates are part of the plan. We test them on your site before they go live. Major upgrades, such as EE6 to EE7, are a separate project: $750 with a hosting plan.
When it ships, we'll test it against your site and your add-ons before recommending the move, and tell you what it involves.
Only if more than one person needs control panel access. ExpressionEngine 7 Core is free. EE Pro is $249, then $49 a year.
Yes, with a 12-month hosting plan. We move the site as it is, with no downtime. If it needs work to run safely on a current server, we'll tell you and quote it before anything moves.
We check where your email lives before anything moves and make sure it keeps working through the switch. If it's hosted with your current web host, we'll help you move it before you cancel.
After the first 12 months the plan is month to month. Your site, files, and database are yours, and we'll hand over a full copy.
Tell us within 30 days and you get 100% of your money back.
Yes, on the same plan. See server migration for how we move them.
