Thinking about switching your WordPress hosting to PressTitan?
We understand that changing hosting providers can feel overwhelming, but we’ve designed our migration process to be as smooth and risk-free as possible. Here are the most common questions we receive from people considering the switch.
Migration Process & Technical Questions
How complicated is it to switch to PressTitan?
Not complicated at all – we handle everything for you. Our migration specialists take care of moving your complete website, including all content, images, databases, plugins, and themes. You don’t need any technical knowledge, and there’s no downtime during the switch. We coordinate the entire process and keep you informed at every step.
Will my website look or function differently after the migration?
No, your website will look and function exactly the same. We perform comprehensive testing on our staging environment before making any changes live. If we discover any compatibility issues during migration, we resolve them before your site goes live on our servers.
How long does the migration process take?
Most standard WordPress sites migrate within 24-48 hours. Complex sites with custom configurations or large databases may take up to a week. Enterprise migrations are scheduled according to your business requirements and can include phased transitions if needed.
What if something goes wrong during the migration?
We maintain complete backups of your original site throughout the entire migration process. If any issues arise, we can instantly restore your website to its original state on your current host while we resolve the problem. You’re never at risk of losing your website or data.
Cost & Contract Questions
I still have time left on my current hosting contract. Will I lose that money?
Absolutely not! PressTitan offers a 150% Cost Honor Guarantee. If you have remaining time on your current hosting contract, we’ll give you that time plus 50% more – completely free after you subscribe to PressTitan.
For example:
- 6 months left on current host = 9 months free with PressTitan
- 1 year remaining = 18 months free with PressTitan
- 3 months left = 4.5 months free with PressTitan
This means you’ll actually save money by switching to PressTitan instead of waiting for your current contract to expire.
How does the 150% Cost Honor Guarantee work exactly?
Simply provide proof of your remaining hosting time (usually a receipt or account screenshot), and we’ll calculate 150% of that duration as free hosting credit. This credit is applied after you subscribe to any PressTitan plan, extending your service at no additional cost.
Are there any hidden fees or setup costs?
None whatsoever. Migration is completely free, setup is free, and there are no hidden charges. Your PressTitan subscription starts immediately, but with your Cost Honor credit, you won’t pay anything additional until that free period expires.
What if I’m not happy after switching?
We’re confident you’ll love PressTitan, but if you’re not completely satisfied, we’ll migrate your site to any hosting provider of your choice at no charge. No questions asked, no fees involved.
Feature & Service Comparisons
What will I get with PressTitan that I don’t have now?
Most clients are amazed by what’s included in every PressTitan plan:
- Automatic WordPress updates (core, plugins, themes)
- 24/7 security monitoring and malware protection
- Daily automated backups with easy restore
- Performance optimization and speed monitoring
- Staging environments for safe testing
- Premium plugin licenses included
- Technical support that actually understands WordPress
Many of these features cost extra (or aren’t available) with traditional hosting providers.
I’m currently on shared hosting. Will PressTitan be faster?
Almost certainly yes. Our infrastructure is optimized specifically for WordPress performance, not generic web hosting. Most clients see immediate speed improvements, and our performance monitoring ensures your site stays fast as it grows.
My current host provides email hosting. Does PressTitan?
We focus exclusively on WordPress hosting excellence rather than trying to be everything to everyone. For email, we recommend keeping your current email provider or we can setup a free Gsuite account for you, or FastMail which we absolutely love.
I have multiple websites. Can you migrate all of them?
Absolutely. Whether you have 2 sites or 20, we’ll migrate each one individually and ensure they’re all performing optimally on our platform. Enterprise clients with large website portfolios get dedicated migration specialists and custom transition planning.
Domain & Ownership Questions
Can I keep my current domain name?
Yes, your domain name stays exactly the same. We simply update your DNS settings to point to our servers. If your domain is registered with your current host, we can help transfer the registration to your preferred registrar, or we can manage it for you.
Will I still own my website and content?
Completely. You own all your content, custom code, themes, and data. PressTitan never claims ownership of client websites or content. If you ever decide to leave, you get everything – no restrictions or complications.
What about my email addresses that use my domain?
Domain-based email addresses will continue working normally. If your email is currently hosted with your website host, we’ll help you transition to a more reliable email provider during the migration process.
Support & Ongoing Service Questions
What kind of support will I get after switching?
PressTitan support is dramatically different from typical hosting companies. We’re WordPress specialists who understand your platform inside and out. No more explaining basic WordPress concepts to generic support staff – our team knows WordPress and can actually solve problems, not just escalate tickets.
Who handles WordPress updates after I switch?
We do, automatically. WordPress core updates, plugin updates, and theme updates are all handled by our system with testing to ensure nothing breaks. If an update does cause issues, we fix it immediately at no charge.
What if my website gets hacked or infected with malware?
We monitor for security threats 24/7 and handle cleanup at no additional cost. Unlike many hosts that charge extra for malware removal, security maintenance is just part of what you’re paying for with PressTitan.
Special Situations
I’m currently with a managed WordPress host like WP Engine. Why switch?
Many clients switch from other managed WordPress hosts for our more personal service, competitive pricing, and inclusive approach. We don’t charge extra for common features, and our support team actually knows your website instead of treating every contact like a new ticket.
My website has custom code and complex integrations. Can you handle that?
Yes. Our migration specialists have experience with custom themes, complex plugins, membership sites, e-commerce stores, and custom integrations. We test everything thoroughly before making your site live.
I’m a web developer/agency with client sites. How does switching work for my business?
We have specialized programs for agencies and developers. Your clients can migrate individually, or we can handle bulk migrations with coordinated timing. We also offer white-label partnerships where you can resell our hosting under your brand.
Getting Started
What do I need to provide to start the migration?
Just your current hosting login credentials (cPanel, FTP, or admin access) and any special instructions about your website. We’ll handle everything else. If you’re uncomfortable sharing credentials, we can coordinate the migration through backup files.
When is the best time to switch?
Now. Thanks to our 150% Cost Honor Guarantee, there’s never a bad time to switch to PressTitan. The sooner you switch, the sooner you’ll experience better performance, security, and support – while saving money on your remaining hosting costs.
How do I get started?
Simply contact us with your current hosting details and remaining contract time. We’ll calculate your Cost Honor credit, set up your PressTitan account, and schedule your migration at a time that works for you.
