Move your website to a server that won't break it
Your host changed PHP and the site broke. Or the price doubled, or the old developer's server is the only copy and nobody has the login. We move the files, database, and everything else, and your visitors never notice.
Free with a $65/month hosting plan. No downtime.

Signs it's time to move
The host changed PHP and the site broke
Error pages, a blank screen, or a control panel that won't load. It will happen again at the next PHP change unless someone is watching.
The host is shutting down or raising prices
Hosts get bought, change plans, and retire old servers. Moving on your schedule beats moving on theirs.
The site is slow
Crowded shared servers and old PHP versions make the same site slower than it needs to be.
It's on the old developer's server
They've moved on, and the site lives in their account. If they close it, the site goes with it.
Nobody is running updates
The CMS and its add-ons or plugins are years behind, and every skipped update is a security fix you don't have.
You've never restored a backup
If the only backup is on the same server, or nobody knows how to restore it, you don't really have one.
When you should stay where you are
Moving isn't always the answer. You're probably fine where you are if:
- Your host keeps PHP on a supported version and tells you before it changes
- Someone is already running your CMS and add-on updates
- You have backups stored somewhere else, and someone has restored one
- The site is fast enough and the bill is reasonable
- You're about to rebuild or replatform the site. Move once, when that's done.
If that's you, stay put. If you ask us, we'll tell you the same thing.
What we move
Everything your site needs to run. You don't have to make a list.
- Site files, templates, and uploaded images and documents
- The database, with all your content
- Your CMS and its add-ons or plugins
- SSL, so the site stays on https
- DNS records, including the ones your email depends on
- Redirects and server rules
- Scheduled tasks, like search indexing or imports
How the move works
Your current site stays live the whole time. Nothing switches over until you've checked the new copy.
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.
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.
We copy the site to its new server.
Files, database, and uploads. Usually within 24 hours.
You review the copy.
Click through your pages and log in to the control panel before anything changes for your visitors.
We switch DNS at a time you choose.
No downtime. Your email keeps working, and your URLs and search rankings stay the same.
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.
