Switching to Raptor Sites

Switching to Raptor Sites. Keep your domain, email and Google history.

Moving your website sounds risky, which is why so many businesses stay with a provider they are unhappy with. We do the move for you: your domain, email and phone number stay as they are, your old pages are redirected, and your current site stays live until the new one is ready.

  • No downtime
  • Domain and email untouched
  • Old pages redirected
  • Free preview of the new site first

Switching to Raptor Sites

What stays and what moves. So nothing gets lost.

  • Your domain stays yours

    We point your domain at the new site. It stays registered in your name, with the registrar you choose.

  • Your email keeps working

    We only change the records that point to your website. Your email records stay exactly as they are.

  • Your content comes with you

    Service descriptions, photos and anything else you want to keep, rewritten where it helps.

  • Your old links still work

    Every old page address is redirected to its new equivalent, so bookmarks and Google results still land somewhere useful.

  • Your Google profile is untouched

    Your Google Business Profile and reviews are separate from your website. We just update the website link if it changes.

  • Your phone number, everywhere

    The same number on the new site, in the same places customers are used to finding it.

If you are not sure who controls your domain

It happens often: a previous web designer registered the domain in their own name, or nobody remembers the login. Your registrar can tell you who the registrant is. If it is not you, ask the person who registered it to transfer it to you; we will help you work through the registrar's process.

The order we do things in

First we build your new site as a private preview, using your current content. You check it and ask for changes. When you approve, we set up redirects for your old pages and point your domain at the new site. Only once it is live and working do you cancel your old provider, after checking your contract for any notice period.

Questions

Asked before starting. Answered plainly.

Something else? Ask in the form.

Will my email stop working?

No. Your email runs on separate records, and we leave them as they are. We change only the records that point your domain at your website.

My old web designer won't reply. Can I still switch?

Usually, yes. If the domain is in your name, you can manage it through your registrar directly. If it isn't, the registrar's process for disputes or transfers applies, and we will help you through it.

What if I am still in a contract?

We can build your preview now, so you are ready to switch the day your contract ends. Check your contract for notice periods before you cancel.

What does it cost?

Get Online is $20 a month, Win Local $50 a month and Grow Online $80 a month, all with no GST charged. There is no upfront build fee and no lock-in contract, and you pay nothing until your website is live.
