FAQ

As many of the answers as we could compile!

I want to move my sites right now! How do I get started?!

The fastest way to get your sites on Flywheel is by using our free WordPress plugin. This allows you to run migrations on your own time while still handling all the technical details for you! Just download the plugin and sign up for Flywheel to get started.

If that’s not an option, our team offers expedited migrations for $49. Our migrations team completes these requests during our regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm CST). The time to complete an expedited migration depends heavily on the complexity and size of your site, but our goal is to complete expedited migrations within 8 US business hours, or we’ll refund the fee. If you have questions about the expedited process or timeline, feel free to chat with one of our experts by filling out the form above!

How do I cancel my previous hosting plan?

While we can’t cancel your previous plan for you, we’d be happy to help provide step-by-step instructions or assist with getting you out of your current contract with another host!

What do you mean by "free"?

We mean zero dollars! We’ll move your site from your current host to Flywheel for free. We only ask you to choose a hosting plan for your site when you’re happy. The migration costs you nothing!

I have a bunch of sites. Will you move them all?

Absolutely! We know moving all of your sites built on WordPress from one host to another can be painful, but we love doing it. So much so, in fact, that we’ve hand-crafted a smooth and seamless process for “group migrations,”so we’re easily able to transfer your sites over to Flywheel on a schedule that works for you and your clients, and you can track progress all along the way. If you send over dozens or even hundreds of sites on WordPress to be moved, we’re on it (at NO extra cost to you)! Just fill out this lil’ form and we’ll take care of the rest.

Will my site go down during the process?

Nope! We move a copy of your site built on WordPress to Flywheel and put it on a temporary domain for you to review. When you’re ready to go live, you’ll repoint your domain and only have to wait for DNS propagation. During the process, visitors may see your previously hosted site or your new Flywheel-hosted site, but they should never experience an outage.

How long does a migration take?

While the timeline can depend heavily on the complexity and size of your site, most migrations are completed within 1-3 business days. If you need a migration completed faster, we offer Expedited Migrations or you can follow this nifty guide to manually move your site to Flywheel. Details for expedited migrations can be found in the next question!
