How It Works

We have made switching to Hostback as easy as possible.

We take care of the transfer for you and keep you updated every step of the way.

How to switch

The first step to switching to Hostback is to select a plan that suits you or your business needs.
Once you subscribe to a Hostbacker plan all you need to do is provide us with some information about your website you have in place now.

Things you need to know

Depending on the website you have in place at the moment, will determine the complexity and time it will take to transfer.

If you have a website using WordPress or Joomla for example the process is straight forward. If you are using a website builder like Wix then we would need to recreate your website on a platform like WordPress. This will obviously take longer and we may need to charge a setup fee. Read our transfer Questions and Answers.

Remember – You get your first month free!

If you are not happy for any reason, or change your mind, we will help you switch back.

    Some websites don’t use a CMS framework and are built from the ground up.

    We would need to find out what programming languages are used and advise you if they can be transferred.

    My Website Is With... WIX / WEEBLY / GODADDY / SQUARESPACE

    This is where things get a bit tricky!

    These platfroms use their own web builders and won’t work on our hosting servers. Or any other servers because they don’t allow you to transfer the whole platform.

    We would need to recreate your website on a platfrom like WordPress. This is the only time we would need to charge a fee.
