Moving WordPress to a better host doesn't have to mean hours of FTP uploads. Glitch Servers migrates your WordPress site, database, and email for free. From £2.99/mo.
You're Not Alone
Moving a WordPress site to a new UK host is one of the most common website tasks, and Glitch Servers makes it free and completely handled by our team - zero downtime, zero data loss, and zero technical effort required from you. The process of migrating WordPress manually involves exporting the MySQL database from phpMyAdmin, downloading all WordPress files via FTP, creating a new database on the destination host, uploading files, importing the database, updating wp-config.php with new database credentials, and managing DNS propagation timing to avoid downtime - a multi-step process that takes technical knowledge and careful execution to do correctly. Most site owners make at least one mistake that causes temporary downtime or data loss during a self-managed migration. Glitch Servers' migration service handles every step, run by UK engineers who have performed thousands of WordPress migrations. Your site stays live on the old host throughout the process - we only cut over the DNS once we have verified the new environment is fully working.
Why This Happens
Hosting providers make migration seem complicated in their documentation to create switching inertia - if you believe migrating is technically difficult and risky, you are less likely to leave even when performance is poor. In reality, with the right tools and experience, WordPress migration is a straightforward process. The most common errors (database credential mismatches, incorrect site URL settings, missing .htaccess files) are all routine issues that experienced migration engineers handle without incident.
The Real Cost
This isn't just a technical inconvenience - it has measurable effects on your business.
Every month on slow or unreliable hosting costs Google rankings, organic traffic, and the enquiries that traffic would have generated.
The technical complexity and risk of a self-managed WordPress migration - database exports, FTP uploads, wp-config.php edits, DNS timing - creates a significant barrier even for technically confident site owners.
The anxiety of potential downtime during a migration causing a live business website to be unreachable for hours while visitors and Google bot both notice.
Staying on poor-performing hosting because migration seems daunting has a real cost: slow page loads harm Core Web Vitals and Google rankings, frequent downtime loses enquiries and orders, and poor support leaves technical problems unresolved. The lost organic traffic and leads from months or years on the wrong host typically far outweigh any perceived migration inconvenience.
The Solution
Glitch Servers handles your full WordPress migration free of charge. Our engineers export your database and files from the old host, set up the new Enhance Panel environment, configure wp-config.php, verify the site works on the new server, and update DNS - with your site live on the old host throughout. Zero downtime. Zero data loss. Your job is to sign up and provide access to your old hosting account.
What You Get
Infrastructure built to prevent these problems - not patch them after the fact.
Database, files, emails, DNS - all migrated by our UK team. You provide access, we handle everything else. Most migrations complete within 4 hours.
Your old site stays live until we verify the new environment is fully working. DNS is only updated once we confirm everything is correct on Glitch Servers.
Your WordPress site loads faster from the moment migration completes - NVMe Gen4 SSD reduces TTFB and query times compared to SATA-backed shared hosting.
wp-config.php database credentials, WordPress site URL settings, permalink structure, SSL configuration - all verified and corrected as part of the migration.
One-Click Installs
For new WordPress installs (rather than migrations), the one-click installer in the Enhance Panel installs WordPress in under two minutes. For migrations, our team handles the transfer.
All Glitch Servers Enhance Panel plans include one-click installation for WordPress, WooCommerce, and Joomla - free with every hosting plan.
Pricing
Two straightforward plans - no hidden fees, no renewal price hikes. Cancel anytime.
