Your website.
A better home.

Choose Web Hosting for a business website, blog or portfolio. WordPress Hosting uses the same accessible starting point for WordPress sites. DreamPress adds managed WordPress services and tools such as staging and Essential CDN. Managed VPS gives growing sites their own resource allocation with server management; Self-Managed VPS provides root access and leaves operating-system management to you.

Compare the site count, storage and other limits in the cards. Ask us to help match your current setup before you buy if you’re unsure.

Keep your old hosting active while you copy and preview the new site. Change DNS only after checking pages, forms and any store checkout. For frequently changing sites, agree a final content sync or a brief editing pause so new orders and updates aren’t lost.

A planned cutover helps minimize disruption, but timing depends on your site and DNS. Monitor both the live website and email before canceling the old services. Learn how to preview your site before changing DNS.

Choose a DreamPress plan and check its included professional migration allowance. After your account is ready, use the migration options for your website in the DreamHost panel to request help. Our team reviews eligibility and the site’s requirements before the move.

See professional and automated WordPress migration options. Professional service for other products or additional sites may have a fee; confirm it before requesting the work.

For compatible sites, you can upload files and databases yourself or request professional migration. The published Site Transfer service is $99; the team reviews your site first and the fee is refunded if the migration cannot be completed.

Proprietary Wix, Squarespace and Weebly sites, and Windows/ASP sites, aren’t supported by this service. You may need a rebuild or a different hosting setup. Check the migration service scope.

No. Traffic and Performance Dashboards are included with Web Hosting, DreamPress, Managed VPS and Dedicated Hosting. Web Hosting scans are run manually; the other listed plans also get weekly performance scans. Self-managed server customers maintain their own software.

Essential CDN is included with DreamPress and is a paid add-on on other eligible hosting. Backup features, migration allowances, domain offers and email trials vary by plan. DreamShield is an optional paid service. Read the selected plan card and any add-on terms.

Refund eligibility depends on the product, purchase and payment method. Web Hosting and DreamPress offers have their own guarantee terms; don’t assume those apply to Dedicated, domains, email or add-on services. Check the selected offer and current terms before you buy.

Many automated WordPress migrations finish in under an hour, but large sites, connection speed and complex setups can take longer. Professional migration timing depends on the site and service selected; our team can confirm the current schedule after reviewing your request.

Allow time to test the copied site and for DNS changes to spread.

Add your domain and WordPress hosting in the DreamHost panel, then follow the migration setup instructions. Install the DreamHost Automated Migration plugin on your existing self-hosted WordPress site and connect it to your destination. It copies the website’s files and database.

Check the copied site before updating DNS. The tool does not transfer your domain registration or email mailboxes. Follow the plugin guide and eligibility requirements.

Yes. For an eligible self-hosted WordPress site, you can use the free Automated Migration plugin even when your DreamPress plan includes professional migration help. Choose the route that suits how much of the transfer you want to handle.

No. You can keep your domain registration elsewhere and point its DNS to your new DreamHost site. You can also keep your current email provider. If you change nameservers, preserve the records those services use.

Transferring a registration and moving mailbox contents are separate from moving the website. Check domain transfer eligibility or compare email hosting.

The plan cards show the initial monthly equivalent and the renewal rate. Annual and multi-year subscriptions are paid upfront for the full selected term; monthly plans are billed monthly. Taxes may apply.

Domain registrations, email after a trial, and optional services can renew separately. Compare those costs alongside hosting. Read billing, cancellation and refund terms.
