Hosting takeover

Keep the site. Change who's holding it.

If the website itself is fine and the problem is the person hosting it — the unreturned calls, the $125 a month for nothing, the change that takes three weeks — you don't need a new site. You need a new host.

The $199.99 covers the actual work: pulling your files and database, moving DNS and email without dropping a message, testing every form and page, and dealing with whoever holds it now.

What the $199.99 pays for

The messy part, done by someone else.

Migrating a website is the ugliest job in this business. It is also the part where an amateur takes your site offline for two days during your busy season. We charge for it because it is real work, and we do it in the evening so nothing breaks while you're open.

01

Nothing goes dark

We stand the site up on our hosting and test it fully before a single DNS record changes. When we flip it over, visitors never see an outage and your email keeps flowing.

02

We handle your old provider

Chasing down credentials from a developer who'd rather you stayed is our problem, not yours. You make one introduction and we take it from there.

03

You end up owning it

Domain registrar, hosting, database, email, every login — documented and handed to you in writing when the move is done. If you ever leave us, you leave with all of it.

What you get every month

The same $99.99 as everyone else.

There is no separate, worse plan for takeover clients. Once you're moved, you're on exactly what a new build gets.

Move my hosting

If it isn't worth moving

We'll say so

Sometimes a site is too old, too slow, or built on something we can't responsibly keep alive. We'd rather lose the sale than take $199.99 to move a problem.

  • We look before we quote — free
  • If it can be moved, we move it
  • If it can't, we tell you why and what a rebuild costs
  • Either way you get a straight answer the same day

Straight answers

What people ask before they move.

Will my site go down?

No. We build a working copy on our hosting first and test everything — pages, forms, images, checkout if you have one. Only then do we change DNS, and we do it outside your business hours. Most clients never notice it happened.

What about my email?

It moves with you, or it stays exactly where it is — your choice. Email lives on separate DNS records from the website, so there's no reason for a single message to be lost. If you're on something dated, we'll tell you and let you decide.

My current guy has all the logins and won't hand them over.

Common, and rarely fatal. Domains can be recovered by the registered owner, and a site can be rebuilt from what's publicly live if it comes to that. Call us and describe the situation — we'll tell you honestly whether it's a two-day job or a rebuild.

Am I locked in after paying the $199.99?

No. Hosting is month to month with no term and no cancellation fee. The transition fee buys the move, not a commitment. If you leave in month two we'll hand you every file and login on the way out.

Are there other costs?

Only pass-throughs, and only with your approval. If your site depends on something with an outside fee — a booking system, a payment processor, a premium plugin, your domain renewal — we pass it on at exactly what it costs us, no markup, and you approve it before anything is bought.
