Migrate from GoDaddy

Give your business a website that reflects where it is today. We rebuild your GoDaddy site and plan the switch around your domain, email and enquiries.

## Change what needs to change.

### Make room for your brand.

Build around your brand and content, with editing tools that suit your team.

### Keep the address people know.

Your domain can stay registered with GoDaddy. We plan the website connection separately.

### Protect the everyday details.

Email, enquiries and appointments matter. We review their settings and test the important journeys.

Moving on from GoDaddy

## Green Oak Therapies

> “They have built me a fantastic website, which I am thrilled with. They both listened to what I wanted, and did everything they could to ensure that I got it. They made the whole process so easy. They also had lots of handy tips and suggestions, that have made my website even better.”

**Nicole Biggs** Owner · Green Oak Therapies

We redesigned Green Oak Therapies on WordPress, replacing its GoDaddy site.

## Your domain. Your email. Your choice.

You can rebuild your website while keeping your domain registration and email with their current providers.

We check who controls your domain and email, then agree which DNS records need to change to connect your new website.

## Where your GoDaddy site could go.

Your domain and email can stay where they are. The website itself needs a new home that suits how you update it.

### Webflow

A hosted CMS for teams publishing services, case studies and other structured content.

### WordPress

## A new home. A controlled switch.

Your current site stays live while we prepare its next home.

### Know what moves.

Confirm whether you use GoDaddy’s website builder or WordPress hosting. Review content, services and account access.

A clear plan. An itemised quote.

### Build on a preview address.

Rebuild the pages and required features away from the live site. Review content, mobile layouts and forms together.

Content, redirects and journeys checked.

### Switch, then verify.

Schedule the DNS changes and allow for propagation. Check the live website, email routing and enquiry delivery.

A checked launch. A site you control.

## Plan for search from the start.

We prepare redirects for the pages people already visit before switching your domain to the rebuilt website.

**Map the existing addresses**

List current pages and agree which addresses stay and which redirect.

**Prepare the redirects**

Set them up on the new site before the website connection changes, then test them after the switch.

**Check the live site**

Submit the sitemap, monitor indexing and confirm that enquiries still arrive.

## Moving from GoDaddy, explained.

### Do we have to transfer our domain?

No. Your domain can remain registered with GoDaddy while the website is hosted elsewhere. We review DNS and email settings before making the agreed changes.

[How our migration process works](https://south.digital/migrate-from-godaddy#migration-process)

### Will our email need to change?

A website rebuild does not need to move your email. We review the current setup, retain the required mail records and check email routing when the website connection changes.

### What if our site is WordPress on GoDaddy?

We confirm whether you use GoDaddy’s website builder or WordPress hosting before planning the move. For WordPress, we review the content, theme, plugins and integrations to establish what needs to move or be rebuilt.

[Explore WordPress migrations](https://south.digital/migrate-from-wordpress)

### Can the existing site stay live during the build?

Yes. We build on a preview address away from the live site. You can review content, mobile layouts and forms before we schedule the switch.

### What happens to our current page addresses?

We review existing URLs and agree which to keep or redirect. Redirects are checked alongside the live website and enquiry delivery after launch.

### When should we cancel the old website plan?

After the new site is verified and any required records or files are retained. We help identify which subscriptions are still needed before you cancel.
