Compare website migration cost
Listed below is a comparison table detailing whether the web hosts reviewed offer free or paid website migrations.
- Migrating websites (files and database) is one thing, migrating an admin panel (e.g. emails, subdomains, etc.) is something else;
- Migrating a website isn’t that challenging i.e. you can do it yourself and avoid some of the fees charged by web hosts. If it’s a WordPress installation, all you typically need are the web files and a copy of your database, as well as an FTP client and access to phpMyAdmin;
- If you want to migrate an admin panel then web hosts will typically only migrate like-with-like e.g. cPanel to cPanel; GoDaddy, Fasthosts and 1&1 are some of the web hosts that utilize custom admin panels;
- Some web hosts treat website migrations like an upsell opportunity e.g. Siteground offers website migrations but only to paid customers on its more expensive shared hosting packages. Customers on its “StartUp” package don’t qualify.
- HostGator seemingly offers free website and admin panel migrations for all new customers within 30 days of sign-up;
