A Website Hosts UK-first comparison
Find the right service before you start a provider move
A provider can bundle domains, email, websites, ecommerce tools and servers in one account. That does not mean they have to move together. This hub helps you identify what you are actually moving and match it to the correct Website Hosts UK route.
Choose Website Hosts UK when you want a clear route
Start with straightforward website hosting for a normal site, move to Shared Cloud Hosting when capacity needs to grow without root access, or choose VPS and VDS only when your project truly needs a self-managed Linux environment.
Use the detailed guides for the move itself
Each guide explains where a provider may still fit, what is not a direct replacement, and how to plan a safer move for domains, website builders, WordPress, email, ecommerce and server workloads.

Know what can move, stay or need rebuilding
The service you are leaving may bundle several jobs together. This quick map helps you plan each one separately.
| What you are moving | What to check first | Website Hosts UK route |
|---|---|---|
| Domain and DNS | Where the domain is registered, where DNS is managed and which website or mail records must be preserved. | Domains — keep the domain where it is or transfer it later. |
| Standard website or WordPress site | Website files, database, forms, images, redirects, logins and SSL settings. | Web Hosting, WordPress Hosting or Business Hosting. |
| Provider website builder | Whether the project can be exported in a usable format or whether the website needs rebuilding before the old service closes. | Choose a suitable website route first, then build or migrate the replacement site before DNS changes. |
| Business email | Mailbox list, existing mail data and the MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records that protect delivery. | Business Email Hosting — prepare mailboxes and records before changing DNS. |
| Online shop | Products, checkout, payment notifications, transactional email, shipping rules and key customer journeys. | Ecommerce Hosting — select the suitable store route before cutover. |
| Custom application or server | Operating system, installed packages, users, services, databases, scheduled tasks, ports, firewall rules and backups. | VPS or VDS — self-managed Linux with root access. |
A clearer migration process
Move in the right order
The easiest way to avoid disruption is to prepare the Website Hosts UK service first, test it properly and only then update DNS. That keeps your website, email and customer journeys protected throughout the change.
For a normal website, that can be a straightforward hosting move. For a custom application or provider-specific website builder, the plan may be more involved — which is exactly why it is worth choosing the right route before cancelling anything.
1
Inventory the setup
List your domain, DNS, website, databases, email and critical integrations.
2
Choose the route
Select the Website Hosts UK service that matches the project rather than the biggest plan.
3
Build and test
Prepare the destination, check pages, forms, email and important user journeys.
4
Change DNS last
Keep the previous service active until the change is confirmed and working.
The Website Hosts UK difference
Choose the service that solves the job — then grow with confidence
Website Hosts UK gives you a clear progression from domains and email to website hosting, Shared Cloud Hosting and self-managed Linux servers. You do not need to take on server administration before there is a genuine technical reason to do so.
- Start with a service that fits your current website.
- Keep domains, DNS and email as deliberate decisions.
- Use Shared Cloud Hosting for capacity without root access.
- Use VPS or VDS for self-managed Linux projects only.

FAQs
Provider comparison and migration questions
Practical answers before moving a domain, website, email setup, shop or self-managed server.
No. These services can be moved separately. Record the DNS settings that connect them, prepare each destination service and update records only when the replacement is ready.
Yes. You can point an existing domain to Website Hosts UK hosting or email with DNS, then decide later whether a domain transfer is worthwhile.
Start with Web Hosting, WordPress Hosting or Business Hosting. Use Shared Cloud Hosting for a growing website that needs more capacity without root access.
Usually not. VPS and VDS are self-managed Linux services for projects that need root access, custom software, an API, a private service or server-level configuration. VDS is the dedicated-CPU option.
Check whether the project can be exported in a usable format. Provider-specific website-builder sites may need rebuilding, while the domain and email can still move separately.
No. Keep the previous service active while you test the replacement website, forms, redirects, email delivery and other critical integrations. Cancel only after the move is confirmed.
