Domain Transfer & Wordpress site

SkidMarkKing · 23 May 2022 at 11:03

Hi guys,

i've transfered a domain name from 123-reg to cloudflare.

There is a wordpress site hosted by 123-reg (used there wordpress site builder to create).

Presume the website hosting stays with 123-reg unless I transfer that seperatly to cloudflare?

Thanks

Your hosting will stay with 123-reg unless you move it to a new host, Cloudflare is a proxy service.

Ok, probably leave it with 123-reg then?

Had a few people ask me if I would look after there website hosting as well as domain.

Probably need to signup with a company like fasthosts for the hosting side then?

Do you already offer web hosting / design, if you don't it's a slippy slope to go down everytime they have issues with the site or speed of it loading.

Please stay away from 123-reg and fasthosts if your going that route.

I was looking at offering web hosting services but not the design/development.

My own domain/hosting is with 123-reg and i've just moved my domain from them. Next task is to do the wordpress hosting (Any recommendations?)

Bluehost get good reviews?
