We look at your current website
We check what kind of website you have and whether it can be moved safely.
We’ll move your website for free.
If you’re switching to The Hosting Hotel, we’ll look at your current website first, explain what can be moved, and help move it whenever possible.
Heard us on the radio? This is the free website move offer.
What the free website move includes

We explain your options
We’ll tell you what can be moved, what may be difficult, and whether anything may cost extra.
We help with the move
If you decide to switch, we help move your website and connect the important pieces like your domain, email, and SSL.

04
We help move it
If you choose The Hosting Hotel, we handle the standard move and help connect your website to its new home.
What should you send us?
Keep it simple. You do not need to know who hosts your website or where your domain is registered.
Start with this
- Your website address
- Your name
- Your email or phone number
- What you want help moving
If you know more, include it
- Where your website is currently hosted
- Where your domain was purchased
- Whether you use business email
- Any logins you already know you have
If you do not know those details, that is okay. We’ll ask for what we need.
Every website is a little different
Most websites can be moved in some way, but not every website can be copied perfectly. We’ll explain this before you make a decision.

Common questions
These are the questions most business owners have before switching.
Do I have to buy first?
No. Send us your website address first. We’ll check it and explain your options before you choose a plan.
Will my website look the same?
Sometimes yes. Sometimes parts need to be rebuilt. It depends on how your current website was made.
Will my email stop working?
We plan email changes carefully. Email can be more sensitive, so we check the setup first.
How long does it take?
Simple moves can often be planned quickly. Larger or more complex sites may take longer. We’ll give you a clearer answer after reviewing your site.
You do not need to understand web hosting.
That is our job. If you are thinking about leaving your current provider, send us your website address. We’ll tell you what is possible, explain it in plain English, and only recommend moving if it makes sense.
