Yes, Rusted Web moves existing WordPress sites to our hosting, usually with no downtime. We copy the site, test it on a temporary link, then switch your domain when everything works. Migration is free for clients on a 12-month hosting or Care Plan agreement, otherwise it is quoted from R750.
You can move your site to any other host whenever you like, with 30 days notice. You own your website and domain, and we send you a full backup and help your new host with the transfer at no charge. There are no exit fees.
Email on your own domain can be added to your hosting. Ask us for the options. For teams that need shared calendars and large mailboxes, we set up Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, billed by those providers per user. Either way you get an address like hello@yourbusiness.co.za, which looks far more professional than a Gmail address.
Yes, but not on this plan, which is for WordPress sites only. For Next.js, React apps and other non-WordPress projects, Rusted Web offers separate managed hosting on Vercel and Supabase from R750 a month, with monitoring, backups and support. See Next.js and app hosting for the details and a quote.
