Moving to Anchor Hosting is easier than you think.

There are no forms to fill out or buttons to click. We’ll work with whatever level of access you have to your current website. Here are typically the steps to take:

  • Add a new WordPress administrator account for support@anchor.host or share current login info. If WordPress access is not an option then we can work with any full site backup or SFTP login info.
  • Grant domain access, see here, or share current login info. If domain access is not an option then we can work with DNS access or with someone who has DNS access.
  • Billing begins 1st of the month after a successful site migration. We’ll just need a billing email address on file for your account. Billing is charged based on the number of WordPress sites, storage, and visitor as outlined here.

That’s pretty much it. Simply reach out to support@anchor.host with any questions. For new folks just discovering hassle-free WordPress hosting, Welcome aboard!
