Everything Moves, Nothing Left Behind
One migration request covers your entire setup — not just the files.
Website Files
Every file, theme, plugin and media asset, copied exactly as it exists on your current host.
Database
Your full database migrated and verified, with content and settings intact.
Email Accounts
Mailboxes and message history, where the source host allows access.
SSL Certificate
A fresh SSL certificate is issued automatically the moment your domain points to us.
Four Steps, Zero Stress
Tell Us Where You Are
Share your current hosting details — we handle the rest from here.
We Copy Everything
Files, database and email are copied to your new PkWebHosting account.
We Verify It Works
We test the copied site on our servers before touching your DNS.
DNS Switches Over
Your domain points to us — your old host stays live as a safety net during propagation.
Migration Fees Are A Tax On Switching Hosts
Charging customers to move away from a competitor and onto your own platform has always struck us as backwards — you're asking someone to pay you for the privilege of becoming your customer, right at the exact moment they're least sure the switch will go smoothly. So we don't do it. Migration is included with any hosting or VPS plan, full stop, because we'd rather remove every reason someone hesitates to try us than collect a one-time fee that makes the decision harder.
The bigger reason, honestly, is that we think this is where trust actually gets built. Anyone can promise 99.9% uptime in marketing copy. What people remember is whether the move itself was painful — whether their site went down for six hours during business hours, whether an email account got lost in the process, whether anyone actually verified the new copy worked before flipping the switch. We treat the migration itself as the first real test of whether we're worth switching to, which is exactly why we keep your old hosting live and verify everything on our end before your domain ever points to us.
- ✔ Old hosting stays live throughout the process
- ✔ New copy tested before DNS ever changes
- ✔ No per-site or one-time migration fee
- ✔ Works with most cPanel, VPS and platform setups
Site Migration FAQ
In almost all cases, no. We keep your old hosting live and copy everything to the new server first, then verify the copy works correctly before switching your domain's DNS. The only unavoidable delay is DNS propagation, which is typically under an hour and doesn't take your site offline.
Your website files, database, and email accounts (including message history where the source host allows access) are all included. SSL certificates are reissued automatically once DNS points to us.
Most WordPress and standard PHP sites are migrated within 24-48 hours. Larger sites with extensive media libraries or custom applications may take longer; we'll give you a specific estimate after reviewing your current setup.
Yes, migration itself is free with any hosting or VPS plan purchase. There's no separate migration fee, no per-site charge, and no catch — we do this because getting your site moved smoothly is the fastest way to earn a long-term customer.
In the vast majority of cases, yes — cPanel-based hosts, most VPS providers, and common platforms like WordPress, Magento, and Laravel applications are all straightforward. A small number of proprietary platforms may require additional coordination, which we'll flag upfront.
