We handle the move so you don’t have to
Switching hosting providers can feel risky. Most business owners worry about downtime, lost emails, or technical problems during the move.
We include free website migration with every hosting and website design package so the process stays simple and safe.
What we migrate
We can move most types of websites, including:
• WordPress sites
• Standard HTML or PHP websites
• Email accounts and forwarders
• Databases and content
• Existing domain settings (where required)
If you’re unsure whether your current setup can be migrated, just ask. We’ll tell you upfront.
How the process works
1. We review your current site
You give us access to your existing hosting or provide a backup. We check what’s involved.
2. We move everything to our servers
We copy the website files, databases, and email accounts to our local NVMe servers in Cape Town or Johannesburg.
3. We test thoroughly
Before anything goes live we make sure the site works correctly on the new server.
4. We switch DNS with minimal downtime
Once everything is ready we update the domain settings. Most migrations happen with little or no visible downtime.
5. We confirm everything is working
After the switch we check email, forms, and key pages with you.
What you need to do
Very little. In most cases you only need to provide login details for your current hosting or domain registrar. We handle the technical work.
If your domain is registered with us already, the process is even simpler.
Why we offer free migration
We want the barrier to moving as low as possible. Many businesses stay on poor or expensive hosting simply because the migration feels difficult.
By including free migration as standard, we remove that obstacle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my website go offline during the move?
In most cases downtime is minimal or zero. We plan the DNS switch carefully to keep interruption as short as possible.
Do you also move email?
Yes. We migrate existing email accounts and help you update device settings if needed.
Is this really free?
Yes. Free website migration is included with our hosting plans and website design packages.
What if something goes wrong?
We test before the final switch and keep a copy of your original site until everything is confirmed working.
How long does a migration usually take?
Most standard websites are moved within 1–3 working days once we have the necessary access.
