Can I move my wordpress website to this account?
-
A few years back, a friend of mine help me set up a website for my videos. It is a wordpress website but it’s hosted through whatever host he uses. I want to transfer the site to a new host. Would it be possible use this WordPress account as the new host? And if so, can the site stay the same? Can I just move all the files over to the new host account? How easy is that to do?

Hi there,
You can host your site with us, yes. Just a few things you need to keep in mind:
To connect a custom domain to your site you will need one of our paid plans.
To host video files directly in your media library you will need to have at least the Premium Plan. This plan comes with a total of 13GB storage for your media files.
To continue using any plugins or custom themes you’re currently using on your site you’ll need the Business Plan. This plan has unlimited storage for media files.
Neither option provides FTP access, so if you need the ability to directly edit the site’s source code or to upload files directly to the server, we are not the right fit for you.
You can follow this guide to migrate your site’s content:

If you buy the Business Plan we might also be able to help you transfer the entire site, plugins, theme, everything, using a migration plugin, but for that it would be best to first purchase the plan and then contact us via live chat so we can advise you on the best option there.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
