<div dir="ltr"><div>Sadly a lot of those "button-pressing" hosting services are going to cost a bit more money vs firing up a instance on AWS or Droplet. Plus if all your friend needs is Wordpress and email. What's wrong with firing up an EC2 instance for like 10/20 bucks a month and Namecheap for the DNS? Heck you can get an email provider that does the heavy lifting for 5 bucks a month if email is a huge concern.<br><br></div>With tons of migration tools for MySQL and rsync, migration should be a breeze if you know what you are doing. Let me know if I'm missing something here.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Aug 30, 2019 at 12:43 PM Victor Odhner <<a href="mailto:vodhner@cox.net">vodhner@cox.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">A friend who is totally non-technical wants to move their WordPress from the current registry and hosting service, and is looking for is good providers of registry and hosting, with the most honest reputations within a reasonable cost.<br><div><br></div><div>A few years ago I worked with NameCheap, and have heard fairly good stories.</div><div><br></div><div>I’ve heard some registrars are in a better chance to negotiate transfer of a name which may be owned by the current registrar.</div><div><br></div><div>I’m pretty sure my friend was spoon-fed the setup with a single phone call, and might find a change too complicated.
