Switch from WP Engine
Cheaper than WP Engine – and your website looks exactly the same
WP Engine charges $35 a month for Essential. We make an exact copy of your website and host it for $9 a month the first year – at least 10% below WP Engine – 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 WP Engine
- The price at WP Engine rises by about 25% when the introductory period ends.
- At WP Engine 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 WP Engine – about 10 minutes of your time
- Type your address above. We see that your website is at WP Engine 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 WP Engine – not the domain and not the e-mail.
