20i is perfect!
I’ve been looking for a company like 20i for years. Mary Poppins may be practically perfect, but so far 20i is perfect! At last, a company (bar my own) that meets my high expectations.

I have been with 20i for a few years now. The service is top notch, their dashboard is absolutely amazing and what is most important is that their support is second to none.

Best hosting company of all time!
Roughly once a year I feel I need to write a review for 20i as they are just so brilliant! I've got nearly 600 websites hosted with them. You need to have a lot of trust in a hosting company to do that.
Darren Strudwick
Incredible service!
I have been a customer of 20i for many years, and you couldn't pay me to leave them. Having used many of the other well-known hosting companies in the past, I can tell you hand-on-heart, they are embarrassing compared to the extremely high standards that 20i adheres to.

How website migrations used to work
The traditional way to transfer your website between web hosts would involve locating your website files at your old host and then downloading them locally, to your PC desktop, for example. You’d have to do the same for databases using a tool like phpMyAdmin, ensuring that you’ve got all the relevant data and content.
Then, it would be a matter of uploading your files to the new hosting provider, using their file manager or FTP with software like FileZilla. Then the databases would need to be imported. You’d also need to make sure the ‘engine’ for the site (e.g. WordPress core) is loaded on to the webspace. And don’t forget the email: you’d also have change settings for that, so that you don’t lose access to emails when you leave your previous host.
Not only is this time consuming, but also prone to error or file corruption. While for popular CMS like WordPress there are shortcuts through plugins, it can still be a hassle.
With the 20i Migration Centre, all these steps are carried out automatically, with no risk of data loss or downtime.

Migration Centre FAQs
How much do your charge for website migration?
No cost at all, ever! Whether you use the Migration Centre or ask our Support Team to help you out, it’s always free, for any number of migrations.
Can it migrate WordPress and Linux-based sites?
Yes, both WordPress and Linux. If you wish to move a WordPress site from Linux Hosting to our WordPress-optimised hosting (or vice-versa), you can use our Platform Transfer tool.
Can you transfer my website?
Yes: if you have any concerns about site migration, our 24x7 Support Team will be able to help you. You can chat with them now if you have any questions.
How long does a migration take?
It all depends on the size of the site. The time it takes to move is dependent on the amount of data being transferred and the complexity of the website. Some migrations can take up to three hours, although the average time to migrate is 30 minutes. For most sites, it will be as quick as clicking ‘migrate’, making a coffee – and your site will be migrated!
Is there anything that the Migration Centre doesn’t migrate?
Yes: it doesn’t migrate your domain name to 20i automatically. To take advantage of our great value domain renewal prices , you can transfer using our Domain Transfers tool. It works in much the same way as our Migration Centre: enter your details and proceed to transfer the domain.
Prefer to keep your domain at another registrar? No problem. All you’d need to do is log in to your provider’s control panel and change the nameservers to 20i’s Google nameservers.
What could go wrong?
Even though the chances of any issues when using our Migration Centre are vanishingly-small, we understand…
The simple answer is that nothing can go wrong. No files at your current host are deleted in the process of transferring your website. So, even in the extremely unlikely event that something happened, you can always try again, and/or contact our team.
The migration process will never cause downtime: your site will remain live on your previous hosting until you’re happy with your 20i site.
Do I have to use the Migration Centre?
Not at all: if you’d prefer to migrate your websites over to 20i in the ‘manual’ way, you can. We have a support article covering this for you: Migrate Manually.
