1. Request the migration (5 min)
Open a ticket in the client area under "Migration", or email contact@hostika-bg.com with subject "Migration". Tell us the domain and which host you're leaving — Bluehost, SiteGround, A2, local provider — doesn't matter.
2. Share access (5 min)
We need one of: (a) a wp-admin user with the Administrator role, (b) cPanel / DirectAdmin / FTP login at the old host, or (c) a ready backup file (All-in-One WP Migration, Duplicator, or a manual SQL + wp-content tar). Credentials are deleted from our systems the moment we wrap up.
3. Test the copy (10–30 min, on us)
We bring the site up on our infrastructure under a technical URL (e.g.
hostika-bg.com/sites/yourdomain).
We walk the whole front-end, forms, plugins, and admin panel. If anything
differs from the original we fix it before the cut-over, not after.
4. Switch DNS (5 min, on you)
Once it's tested, change A records (or nameservers) at your registrar. We send you the IPs and instructions. DNS takes a few minutes to 24 hours to propagate — during that window both the old and new site respond, so no visitor ever sees a broken page.
5. Cancel the old host (when you're ready)
We recommend waiting 7–14 days before closing the old account — just in case. After that you can cancel it and stop paying that monthly bill.
Ready? Start via the builder and pick "Migrate existing site" in step 1, or email contact@hostika-bg.com directly.
