Hosting & Migration
Hosting, domain and DNS configured in accounts you own, SSL installed, email routing checked, and existing sites moved to the new host with a tested cut-over.
Included in the base scope
Most hosting problems are ownership problems: accounts in a former developer's name, DNS nobody understands. We set it up cleanly in your name, document it, and move your site across with the old one still live until the new one is checked.
- Hosting account created or reviewed, in your name
- Domain and DNS records configured and documented
- SSL certificate installed and renewal confirmed
- Existing site copied, tested on the new host and cut over
- Email routing verified so mail keeps arriving
- A one-page record of every setting
Before development begins
Work starts once payment and these materials and access are received.
- Domain registrar access
- Current hosting access if a site is being moved
- A decision on the hosting plan (we recommend, you choose)
Base rate plus the add-ons you choose
One written total is confirmed before the Stripe payment link is sent. Invoicing is available in CAD or USD based on client preference. Applicable taxes are shown on the quote.
Standard website projects target delivery within 24–48 hours after payment and required project materials are received. Larger or more complex builds follow the timeline agreed in the project scope.

- Send the enquiry with what you have: page list, products, brief or existing site.
- We ask any questions and send a written scope with one total.
- You agree, pay through the Stripe link, and send the materials. Development begins.
After delivery: full ownership of the deliverables and 30 days of defect correction.
Which host do you use?
The one that fits the site; we recommend options and set up whichever you choose, in your own account. Hosting fees are paid by you to the host.
Will my site go down during the move?
The old site stays live until the new copy is tested; the DNS switch is the only step, and it is timed with you.
