Switch from Bluehost
Cheaper than Bluehost – and your website looks exactly the same
Bluehost charges $9.99 a month for Starter. We make an exact copy of your website and host it for $8 a month the first year – at least 10% below Bluehost – and then our normal price minus 10%. Nothing on your website changes; you only change who you pay.
Free. No card. You see your copy before you pay anything.

Why businesses leave Bluehost
- The price at Bluehost rises by about 150% when the introductory period ends.
- Bluehost only shows its lowest price if you pay several years in advance.
- At Bluehost you pay for a server, a database and plugins your visitors never see. A CarbonCopy is the finished pages – cheaper to run and faster to load.
- You keep your domain and your e-mail where they are today – we only move the website itself.
How to move from Bluehost – about 10 minutes of your time
- Type your address above. We see that your website is at Bluehost and show what you save.
- Confirm the website is yours with a code to your e-mail on the domain.
- Look at your copy, page by page, before you pay anything.
- Point the domain here. We do it automatically where we can; otherwise you get the steps – or a ready message for your DNS company.
- Cancel the hosting plan at Bluehost – not the domain and not the e-mail.
