Are you a web designer, agency or hosting provider who is closing down, retiring or stepping away from hosting? CherryWire can take over your clients’ websites, email and domains, so they are looked after and you can step away knowing they are in good hands.
We’ve done this before
Taking over hosting is how CherryWire started. When a web designer who hosted our customers’ websites disappeared, we recovered the sites and hosted them. Since then, web designers who were closing down have asked us to take over hosting for their clients, and we have taken those clients on.
What we take over
- Websites: from simple sites to PHP and MySQL, WordPress and online shops.
- Email: mailboxes at your clients’ own domains.
- Domain names: .uk, .com and other domains, transferred to CherryWire.
- DNS: we can host your clients’ DNS, or provide the records to whoever does.
How it works
- Get in touch and tell us roughly how many clients, websites, mailboxes and domains you have.
- We agree a plan with you, including when and how your clients are told.
- We move the websites, mailboxes and domains across, and check that each one works. Websites stay online throughout, no emails are lost, and we can copy existing mailboxes across. How we avoid downtime.
- Your clients then deal with us directly, with a personal service.
Common questions
I'm not closing down, I just want to stop hosting. Can you help?
Yes. If you want to keep designing websites but stop looking after servers, we can take over the hosting, email and domains for your clients.
Can we talk before I tell my clients?
Yes. Get in touch and we’ll talk it through in confidence, and agree a plan with you before anything changes for your clients.
What happens to my clients' domains?
We transfer them to CherryWire and look after renewals from then on. If a client would rather keep their domain where it is, it can stay there and point at our servers instead.
