Rocket.net's team moves WordPress sites from any host for free, with no limit on how many. You create an account, ask for the migration, and review the copy on a temporary URL before you change DNS.
Step 1: Create your account
Sign up for a Rocket.net plan first. See how to sign up for Rocket.net for the plans and the $1 first month.
Step 2: Request the migration
Contact Rocket.net over live chat, or submit a free WordPress migration request. Give the team access to your WordPress site so it can start. One request can cover all your sites, whether you have one or many.
Step 3: Review the copy on the temporary URL
Each migrated site gets a free temporary Rocket URL. Use it to check pages, forms, and logins on Rocket.net before any DNS changes are made. Rocket.net says it moves sites 1:1, exactly as they are on your current host.
Step 4: Switch DNS
When the site checks out, point your domain to Rocket.net at your DNS provider. Ask support if you need help with the records.
After the move
Cancel your old hosting once the site is live on Rocket.net, so it does not renew. See what Rocket.net costs over five years on the Rocket.net renewal price page, or compare it with Kinsta and WP Engine.
