Why businesses are leaving IONOS Website Builder for WordPress
These are the issues owners most often report when they outgrow IONOS Website Builder.
Domain and email coordination
Domain and email settings need coordinating before the switch, so messages keep arriving on launch day.
Limited export
IONOS's help covers moving a WordPress site into IONOS, not moving out of the builder, so content is captured from the live site.
Forms need rebuilding
Contact and enquiry forms are rebuilt in WordPress and tested, so enquiries reach the right inbox.
Design rebuilt in WordPress
Builder layouts are matched in a WordPress theme, with your brand kept consistent.
Redirects protect rankings
Changed addresses are redirected with 301s, and rankings are monitored after launch.

A note from the founder
You'll work with real people, not a ticket system
Hi, I'm Anup. I started Transfer to WordPress because I kept meeting business owners who were paying too much for a website they couldn't fully control.
Every migration is rebuilt by hand by our team, and you can message us directly at any point. If something isn't right, we fix it. That's how we've earned a 4.9 rating from more than 600 businesses.
