Quick answer
The best host for free website migration is Kinsta: its team moves an unlimited number of WordPress sites for free on every plan. Hosting.com (formerly A2 Hosting) also does unlimited free moves, including email. For a cheap plan, Hostinger moves as many sites as your plan allows, from $1.99 a month.
Be careful with Bluehost and HostGator. Both now charge $149.99 per site if you want their team to move it on a shared plan.
Moving a website to a new host sounds scary. Files, databases, settings and email all have to arrive in one piece, and your site should not go down while it happens.
The good news: many hosts will do the move for you, for free. The bad news: “free migration” means very different things at each host. Some move every site you own. Some move one site, only within 30 days, only with a plugin. And some now charge.
We read the migration policy of 12 popular hosts in November 2026 and compared what is really free.
