Questions

Before we touch your DNS.

Will my email stop working?

No. We save your current email records first and keep them through the change, then send test mail.

Can you set up Cloudflare for WordPress?

Yes. Cloudflare's free plan, set up so it doesn't break logins, forms or SSL.

How is this different from a migration?

Setup changes records and settings. A migration moves the whole site to a new host. Need both? We quote them together.

What do you need from me?

Access to your domain registrar and your host. If DNSSEC is on, we handle that too.

Can you help me pick a host?

Yes. We tell you what fits your site and your budget. We don't sell hosting.
