Reviewed 4 November 2026 · Editorial assessment, not a hands-on test or certification.
When it makes sense
A WordPress business with a clear hosting, support or performance need and a budget to maintain its site.
When we would hold off
A simple static site that already performs well, or a store hosted entirely on another managed commerce platform.
A useful first project
Audit the current site, assess migration needs, test on staging and agree a rollback plan before any DNS change.
Before you pay
Check plan limits, traffic and storage requirements, backups, migration eligibility and ongoing total cost. Confirm current terms and pricing directly with the provider.
What success should look like
Record comparable page performance, availability and support needs before and after migration; avoid attributing every sales change to hosting.
