Questions
How long until my domain shows the new website?
Often minutes, sometimes a few hours while DNS caches update.
Why does my site say “Not Secure” after switching?
The new host needs to issue an SSL certificate for your domain, which usually happens automatically once DNS points to it.

We make DNS changes safely, verify the website, SSL and email, and fix anything that broke.
