We move it. You approve it.
We copy your site, email and databases, show you the before and after on a staging address, and switch DNS only when you say so. Your current host keeps serving visitors the whole time.
Ten steps. You’re needed for three.
You follow the move on a status page like this one. At every step it says what is happening, what is finished, whether your site is live, and whether we need anything from you.
- You give access once, through an encrypted form
- You review the staging copy and the before and after numbers
- You approve the switch, or don’t

All of it.
- WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, Laravel and plain PHP sites
- Databases, including large stores with millions of rows
- Email accounts and their existing messages
- DNS records, SSL certificates and redirects
- Cron jobs, FTP users and file permissions
What access do you need?
Either your current cPanel login or a full backup file. We never need your domain registrar password; you change one DNS setting, or we walk you through it.
What if something breaks?
Nothing is switched until you approve the staging copy. After the switch, your old host stays untouched, so rolling back is one DNS change, as long as your old hosting is still active.
Do you move sites from any host?
Yes, from any host where we can get files and a database export. Custom stacks may need a short call first.
Tell us what to move.
Send the address and a few details. We reply by email with the next step: a secure form for access, or a backup file if you prefer. Nothing changes on your current host until you approve the switch.
