WordPress migration

WordPress migration to Newt Labs hosting, included with your hosted Care Plan

Choose a Care Plan with managed hosting and we will migrate the WordPress website covered by that plan from your current host to Newt Labs at no extra charge. We plan the move, handle the WordPress migration, and update the DNS needed to bring the site onto the new setup.

If you are unsure which hosted level fits your website, we can use your current hosting plan and recent traffic levels to recommend the right starting point.

Migration is part of hosted Care Plan onboarding. It is not a separate migration service between third-party hosting providers.

There is no separate migration charge when you choose a Care Plan with Newt Labs managed hosting.

Move with minimal disruption

We move the WordPress site covered by the plan and handle the DNS changes needed to bring it onto the new hosting setup.

Why people start thinking about moving

Most people do not think about migration until something stops working well

Moving to Newt Labs hosting usually starts when the current setup feels harder to manage, less reliable, or no longer worth putting up with. A hosted Care Plan gives you a route to move the WordPress site and have the new setup supported afterwards.

Support has become slow or unreliable

Getting help feels harder than it should, and problems take too long to resolve.

The website feels slow or unstable

Performance issues, downtime, or inconsistency start to affect confidence in the site.

The current setup feels limiting

You have outgrown your hosting or setup, and it no longer supports what you need.

There have already been problems

Past issues like failed updates, outages, or messy fixes have raised concerns.

Too many people are involved

Hosting, support, and maintenance are handled in different places, which makes things harder to manage.

You want less hassle going forward

You are looking for a simpler, more dependable way to keep the website running properly.

If any of this feels familiar, staying where you are may already be the harder option.

What gets better after the move

Move into hosting that is already part of your ongoing care

Because migration is part of hosted Care Plan onboarding, the goal is not simply to copy the site somewhere new. The website moves onto a managed hosting setup that the same team will continue to support and look after.

A good migration should reduce friction, not relocate it.

A simpler setup

Fewer moving parts means less confusion when something needs attention.

More dependable support

The team supporting the website also understands the hosting environment behind it.

Easier maintenance going forward

Updates, troubleshooting, and day-to-day care are easier when the website and hosting are managed together.

Better continuity

Hosting, support, and ongoing care are already part of the same long-term setup.

A stronger long-term home

The website is moved with the future in mind, not just the immediate task.

Why the team handling the move matters

A smooth migration depends on who is handling it

Moving a WordPress website involves the site itself, hosting, DNS, plugins, and how everything works together afterwards. We handle the WordPress migration and the DNS changes needed to bring the site onto Newt Labs hosting, so responsibility stays clear from the move into ongoing care.

✓
One team, clear responsibility

No confusion about who is handling the website, hosting, or DNS during the move.

✓
Fewer handoffs, fewer gaps

The move and the ongoing support setup are handled as one joined-up process.

✓
A setup we understand from the start

The same team moving the site also understands how it will be hosted and looked after afterwards.

✓
Stronger continuity after the move

The work does not stop at migration. Hosting and ongoing Care Plan support are already in place.

Email is not migrated as part of this service. We recommend using a dedicated email provider and maintain the DNS records needed for it to keep working.

Simple migration process

A clear process makes the move feel much easier

Migration is part of setting up your hosted Care Plan. We confirm the right hosting level, review the current WordPress setup, then move the site and switch the DNS over carefully.

1

Choose the right hosted Care Plan

Choose Maintenance, Security, or Performance with hosting. If you are unsure about capacity, we can use your current hosting plan and recent traffic levels to recommend the right starting point.

2

Review and plan the move

We review the WordPress site, access, current hosting, and anything that needs attention before the migration starts.

3

Migrate the site and switch DNS

We move the WordPress website onto Newt Labs hosting, update the DNS, check the new setup, and continue supporting it through the Care Plan.

One WordPress website is covered per Care Plan. If the site has a substantial existing issue that needs separate work, we will explain that clearly before proceeding.

Included with hosted Care Plans

Migration is part of getting your hosted Care Plan set up

When you choose a Care Plan with managed hosting, moving the WordPress website covered by that plan onto Newt Labs hosting is included at no extra charge. The move is the onboarding step that brings the site into the hosting and care setup you have chosen.

You do not need to buy Migration separately. Choose the Care Plan and Hosted option that fit your website.

Managed hosting from day one

The site moves directly into the Newt Labs hosting setup matched to your chosen Care Plan.

Ongoing care already in place

The Care Plan is the long-term service, so support does not end once the migration is complete.

DNS managed as part of the setup

We update and manage the DNS needed for the hosted website and its connected services.

No separate migration charge

The WordPress migration is included when you choose managed hosting with your Care Plan.

What clients say

Experience with migrations, hosting, and long-term support

A migration is only as useful as the setup it leaves behind. These reviews reflect the wider hosting and support experience around that setup, including a client whose legacy WordPress site was migrated into Newt Labs hosting.

“The team at newt labs have been nothing but incredible when a site I was working with was largely abandoned by its ongoing host and admin. Newt took over a long standing legacy wordpress site, mirgrated it into their hosting with incomplete details, then updated, maintained, and solved a bunch of issues from bots capacity and compatibility that were crippling the site. Fantastic service, great team, do not nesitate to contact Newt if you're in a bind.”

“I’ve known Steven for a while now. He’s a good guy, really helpful and hard working. He always goes above and beyond to help his clients. When I needed last minute support with my hosting and domain, Steven was able to help straight away and managed to solve my problem within a really short period of time. During the whole process, he was really attentive and made me feel that my website and details are in safe hands. I’ve been working with him on a few different projects now and I always enjoy our collaboration. I can highly recommend Steven to anyone who needs help with their WordPress site!”

“Newt Labs have been looking after our websites and hosting them for several years. I can't speak highly enough of them. Having worked with other web companies and not been very impressed I was delighted to discover one which gave such great customer service and had such good attention to detail. Quick to respond and definitely know their stuff.”

A well-handled migration should leave you with a website that feels easier to support, easier to rely on, and better set up for what comes next.
