Moving Your Hosting Does Not Have to Be Complicated
Many business owners stay with poor hosting providers because they are worried about losing emails, breaking their website, or dealing with complicated technical settings.
That is where we come in.
Our team handles the technical process for you, including the website transfer, hosting setup, DNS guidance, email setup assistance, and final testing. We make sure the move is planned properly so that your business can keep running while the migration takes place.
You do not need to understand cPanel, DNS, nameservers, SSL certificates, or databases. We take care of the technical side and guide you through what is needed.
What We Can Help Migrate
We can assist with moving most standard websites and hosting setups, including:
- WordPress websites
- Business websites
- cPanel hosting accounts
- Website files and databases
- Domain-linked email accounts
- SSL setup
- DNS and nameserver changes
- Domain transfers where required
If your website uses WordPress, we can also check that the site loads correctly after migration and confirm that the main pages, forms, and basic functionality are working.

How the Website Migration Process Works
Our migration process is planned, practical and handled step by step so that you know what is happening and what is needed from your side.
Step 1: Tell Us About Your Current Website
We start by finding out where your website is currently hosted, what platform it uses, and whether you also need help with email or domain settings.
Step 2: We Review the Migration
We check what needs to be moved and confirm the best way to handle the transfer. This helps us avoid unnecessary downtime and surprises during the process.
Step 3: We Set Up Your Rhino Hosting Account
Your new hosting environment is prepared, including the required hosting space, database setup, SSL certificate, and email configuration where applicable.
Step 4: We Move the Website
We migrate your website files, database, and required settings to Rhino Hosting. Once moved, we test the website to make sure it loads correctly.
Step 5: We Assist With DNS Changes
Once the website is ready, we guide or assist with the DNS and nameserver changes required to point your domain to the new hosting account.
Step 6: Final Testing
After the migration is complete, we check that the website is loading, SSL is active, and the main website functions are working as expected.
Free Website Migration When You Move to Rhino Hosting
We offer free standard website migration when you move your hosting to Rhino Hosting.
This applies to most standard websites and hosting accounts. If your website is very large, highly customised, infected with malware, or requires advanced development work, we will review it first and advise if any additional work is required.
Our goal is simple: make it easy for you to leave poor hosting behind and move to a hosting provider that gives you better support.
Is Hosting Migration Right for You?
You should consider moving your website if:
- Your website is slow or unreliable
- Your emails keep giving problems
- Your current support is poor or unresponsive
- You are paying too much for hosting
- Your website keeps going offline
- You do not know who to contact when something breaks
- You want local South African hosting and support
If any of these sound familiar, Rhino Hosting can help.
Website and Email Migration
If your email is hosted with your current provider, we can also advise on the best way to move your email accounts.
Email migration needs to be handled carefully because every setup is different. Some clients use cPanel email, while others use Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or another external email provider.
Before making any changes, we check how your email is currently configured and guide you on the safest migration process.
Local Hosting Support You Can Rely On
Your website and email are too important to be left with a hosting provider that does not respond when you need help.
At Rhino Hosting, we focus on reliable hosting, practical advice, and support that makes sense. We work with South African businesses that need their websites online, their emails working, and their hosting managed properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my website go offline during the migration?
We plan the migration carefully to reduce downtime as much as possible. In most standard cases, the website can be moved and tested before the final DNS change is made.
Can you move my WordPress website?
Yes. We can assist with WordPress website migrations, including the website files, database, and basic post-migration testing.
Can you move my emails as well?
In many cases, yes. Email migration depends on your current setup. We will first check whether your emails are hosted through cPanel, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or another provider.
Do I need to contact my old hosting company?
Sometimes we may need access to your old hosting account, cPanel, domain account, or DNS records. We will tell you exactly what is needed before we begin.
Is migration really free?
Standard website migration is free when you move your hosting to Rhino Hosting. If the website requires advanced work, malware cleanup, custom development, or large-scale email migration, we will quote separately before doing any extra work.
How long does a website migration take?
Most standard website migrations can be completed fairly quickly once we have the correct access details. The final timing depends on the size of the website, the email setup, and how quickly DNS changes update.
Can you help if my current website is broken?
Yes. We can review the website first and advise whether it can be migrated as-is or whether it needs repair work before or after the move.
