Why WordPress websites switch hosts<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Most switches happen for one of these six reasons. At WPressCloud, each of them is solved before you move.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Slow loading times<\/h3>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Overloaded shared servers and missing caching slow down your website and cost you visitors and rankings.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

With us: NVMe, NGINX caching and CDN.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

With us: answers from WordPress specialists.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t\u26a1<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Rising prices<\/h3>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Downtime<\/h3>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

When your website is unreachable, you often only find out from your customers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

With us: monitoring around the clock.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Guide: switching WordPress hosting without risk<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

What to look out for before, during and after switching your WordPress hosting.<\/p>\n\t\t

When is it worth switching WordPress hosting?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Switching is worth it as soon as your hosting slows your website down instead of supporting it. Typical signs are long loading times, recurring outages, sluggish support or a significant price jump at contract renewal.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Even if you simply lack the time for updates, backups and security, managed WordPress hosting is the logical next step: the technology runs reliably in the background while you focus on your business.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Checklist before switching hosts<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Check the notice period of your current contract and only cancel once your website is fully running with the new provider.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Find out where your domain is registered and whether email mailboxes should move too.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Have your logins for the hosting control panel, WordPress and domain management ready. When switching to WPressCloud, a short form is all it takes; our team handles the rest.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Switch WordPress hosting without taking your website offline<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We first copy your entire website to our servers and check it on a test address. Your existing website stays online and unchanged during this time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We only switch the domain once you approve. Because the old version stays reachable until the new DNS records are active everywhere, your visitors won't notice the switch.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

What happens to my domain and emails when I switch?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

You can leave your domain with your current provider and simply point it to WPressCloud via DNS, or transfer it to us. On request, we migrate existing mailboxes including their folder structure so no message is lost.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

What does switching to WPressCloud cost?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The migration is free in every plan and there are no setup fees. You only pay for your plan: from \u20ac30 per month, or the equivalent of \u20ac24 per month with annual billing.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n
