Switching

How to switch from GreenGeeks.

Moving off GreenGeeks means backing up files and databases, moving email and DNS records, copying SSL settings, testing the site on the new host before switching DNS, and keeping the old account until propagation finishes. Many hosts offer free migration. Use each shortlisted host's money-back window to migrate a copy of your real site, then compare speed, backups and support responsiveness before committing to a long term.

Switching checklist
  1. Export a sample of your GreenGeeks data and test an import into the new product.
  2. List the automations, integrations and permissions you would need to rebuild.
  3. Compare total cost for your real seat count, including add-ons and onboarding fees.
  4. Pilot with one team before a full cut-over.
  5. Check contract terms, renewal dates and notice periods with GreenGeeks.

General guidance, not specific to any vendor. Confirm migration options with the vendors.
