Room101 offers a free website migration service to transfer websites from their current hosts or designers to Room101's servers. The migration ensures all parts of the website are moved without losing data or breaking functionality. Migrations that take less than 3 hours are free, with additional time charged hourly. Customers can review their migrated site at a temporary URL before it goes live. Room101 also offers ongoing hosting and support options after a migration is complete. To get started, customers can call for a no-obligation consultation to determine if Room101 can help migrate their site.
