Transfer to a host that knows what they’re doing!


Have you out grown your existing host? Are you not getting the service that you’re spending money for? Has your host ignored your pleas for a reliable server and fast response time? Have no fear, Hands-on Web Hosting is here to help you!

Every day we hear from customers that are fed up with their existing host. The majority of complaints that we hear about are slow servers, lack of support and in some cases even rude support! When you change your hosting to Hands-on Web Hosting for your website and email service these things are a thing of the past!

If there’s one thing that the owner of Hands-on Web Hosting hates to hear more than “my server is slow” it’s “support was rude”. These complaints are not something that ANYONE should ever have to put up with. The support staff at Hands-on Web Hosting have been in the hosting business for more than a decade. Many of the staff members ran their own hosting companies and have since joined Hands-on Web Hosting’s team of support. Other members of the staff here have run their own design companies, and while they still run their design company, the support mantra of Hands-on Web Hosting has carried over to their own businesses.

Hands-on Web Hosting is so sure that you will love the services that we provide, we will move your site and contents free of charge to our servers! While we can currently only assist with moving complete sites using cPanel, if your existing host will provide a ZIP or TAR file of your site and also a Database Backup, we can unpack the files on our servers and set the correct permissions. If your host is unwilling to do this, we have a 3rd party that we can refer out to which will move your site and databse for you.

There are five popular hosting packages that X-Cart choose on a regular basis:

  • MiniCommerce - For those just starting out in the online business, but need an SSL for Credit Cards
  • eCommerce – Designed for Small Business. Ample space and bandwidth for those starting out or growing up
