Straight talk
Where each one wins
Where Wix may still be the better fit
- You want to build a site with zero technical care
- You don't plan to grow past a simple brochure site
- You're happy inside Wix's app ecosystem
- You don't care about owning the underlying files
Our honest take: for a simple brochure site that will never move, Wix is fine. If you want to own your site, rank freely, and never be locked into a builder, managed WordPress on our hosting is the honest choice.
Frequently asked questions
Can I move my Wix site to WordPress?
Yes. We help you move your content, pages, images, and blog posts from Wix into WordPress, and point your domain over with no downtime.
Will I lose SEO when I leave Wix?
Not if it is done carefully. We preserve your URLs or set up redirects so your existing rankings carry over during the migration.
Do I own my website files on WordPress?
Yes. Unlike Wix, on WordPress you own your files, database, and content outright, and we hand over exports free if you ever leave.
