Free Website Migration: What It Is and How It Works

Moving your website to a new host shouldn’t feel like a risky operation. Yet for many, the thought of migrating brings up fears of downtime, data loss, or having to tinker with code. At ScaleFair, we take that stress off your plate – completely free of charge.

If your current provider isn’t cutting it anymore, our Free Website Migration service is here to make the switch smooth, safe, and straightforward.

What Is Website Migration?

In simple terms, website migration means moving your site from one hosting provider to another. This could involve transferring files, databases, emails, domains, and settings – depending on how your site is set up.

Think of it like moving house: you want everything packed carefully, transported safely, and unpacked correctly – without losing any valuables or breaking the internet.

At ScaleFair, our expert team handles all of this for you behind the scenes to ensure your website stays live and functional during the transition.

Changing web host provider is like moving house

Why Do People Migrate Their Websites?

There are lots of good reasons to switch hosting providers:

If your website drags its feet, visitors will bounce before they even see your content. We use LiteSpeed + NVMe storage to ensure ultra-fast performance.

Endless ticket queues and unhelpful responses? That’s not how it should be. Our UK-based team offers real support that actually solves problems.

Some providers lure you in with cheap intro deals, only to hike prices or charge extra for things like backups, SSL, or migrations. Not us.

If your host doesn’t support modern platforms, has tight limits, or lacks security features, it’s time to upgrade.

How ScaleFair’s Free Migration Works

Our process is designed to be simple, secure, and seamless. Here’s how it works:

Once you request a migration, we’ll ask for some details about your current host like your control panel login or CMS setup (e.g. WordPress, cPanel, DirectAdmin, etc.).

We’ll also ask when you’d like us to start; we can do it overnight or during quiet periods to avoid disruption.

Our technical team will:

  • Copy your website files and databases
  • Preserve any emails and mailboxes (if required)
  • Move your domain DNS settings (if requested)
  • Test the site thoroughly before switching it live

If there are any snags along the way, we’ll let you know – but most migrations are completed within 24 hours, stress-free.

Once everything is safely in place and tested, we’ll update your domain to point to your new ScaleFair hosting. You don’t need to lift a finger as we will monitor the site closely during and after the migration to ensure a smooth switchover.

Who’s Eligible for Free Migration?

All new ScaleFair customers on any paid hosting plan can take advantage of our free migration service.

We support migrations from most hosting providers, including:

  • cPanel and WHM-based hosts
  • DirectAdmin
  • Plesk
  • WordPress.com or self-hosted WordPress
  • Other CMS platforms (like Joomla, Magento, etc.)

If you’re unsure whether your current setup qualifies – just ask! We’re happy to check and confirm.

What If You’re Not Technical?

That’s exactly why we offer this. Many of our customers are business owners, freelancers, or bloggers who just want their site to work – without dealing with FTP clients, database errors, or DNS propagation.

We’ve handled thousands of migrations and know how to do it right. You focus on running your business – we’ll handle the move.

Zero Cost, Zero Downtime, Zero Stress.

It’s time to break free from bad hosting. Let ScaleFair take care of the heavy lifting so you can enjoy faster speeds, better support and a service that puts you first.
