Moving your website to me
I do the moving. Nothing to do from your end. Your website keeps running while I copy and test it, and your email stays where it is.
Freewith any plan
Let's talkYour website moves over, everything else carries on as normal
A quick chat
Call, WhatsApp or send a message. I find out where your website, email and domain live, so nothing gets missed.
I copy and test it
I copy your site to my server and test it privately. Your current site keeps running the whole time.
I switch it over
I make the switch at a quiet time, on a call with you if you like. Most moves go unnoticed by your visitors.
You deal with me
From then on, you have my number. No tickets, no queue, and the same person every time.
What I need from you
Not much. If you can tell me who you pay for your website, domain and email, I can usually work out the rest. If you're not sure, send me your last invoice and I'll find it.
- Your web address
- A login for your current hosting, or I'll talk you through getting one
- A login for wherever your domain is registered, so I can point it at my server
- A time that suits you for the switch
Keep what you've got
I always advise keeping your existing domain and website if possible. There's no need to start again just to get better hosting.

Email can break when a website moves if the settings get lost. This article explains why, and what I check first.

Richard has been nothing but outstanding from the get go, he has developed my website beautifully over the past few years and has really listened intently to every detail of how my business operates and what's involved In order to produce the most efficient and effective website for my business. I continue to be super impressed with how Richard is still checking in monthly and offering ideas on improving the website and its image further which I feel I wouldn't get anywhere else.

I recently worked with Rich from Studio Key on branding for my new business, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I absolutely love the branding he helped create, it's professional, eye-catching, and truly reflects the business. I've already received compliments from my customers! Rich also helped me set up web hosting and email, making sure everything fit within my budget, and suggested ways he could support me as my business grows. He was easy to work with, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. Highly recommend!
Questions about moving
Something else on your mind? Call me or send a WhatsApp.
Do I have to move my domain or email to you?
No. You keep your domain where it is, and your email stays put unless you ask me to move it. I only change the settings that point your website at my server. I never recommend moving a domain provider unless it saves you money.
Will my website go offline while you move it?
I copy your site to my server and test it privately first, while your current site keeps running. Then I switch over at a quiet time. Most moves go unnoticed by your visitors. Nobody can promise a move with no downtime at all, but I plan every switch to keep it short.
Will moving affect my Google rankings?
Your web address and your content stay the same, and those are what Google looks at. I check your website works on my server before I switch, and keep the switch short.
Is the move free?
Yes, for one website per plan. If you have more than one site to move, tell me and I'll give you a price before I start.
What if my current host is still under contract?
Send me the renewal date and I'll plan the move for shortly before it, so you're not paying two hosts for long.
Tell me where your site lives now
I'll tell you what's involved in moving it and what hosting would cost.
I reply today or the next working day. No obligation.
