Moving from Wix or Squarespace

Moving from a closed website builder like Wix or Squarespace is a little different from a standard hosting migration, because those platforms do not give you a normal backup of files and databases to import. But you can absolutely move to Dirham A Day, and our team will help.

Why it is different: on Wix and Squarespace, your site is built and locked inside their own system, so there is no cPanel-style archive to hand over. Instead, moving usually means rebuilding your site on an open platform such as WordPress, which you then host with us - giving you full control and no monthly builder lock-in.

Typical routes:

• Rebuild on WordPress. Recreate your site using WordPress on your Dirham A Day hosting - often a good moment to refresh the design. You can copy across your text, images and structure.
• Export what you can. Some builders let you export certain content (for example blog posts). We can help you make use of anything that is exportable.
• Keep your domain. Your domain name can point to your new site with us regardless of where it was registered, so your web address stays the same.

Things to sort out:

• Your domain - we will help you point it to your new hosting (and you can transfer the registration to us if you wish).
• Your email - we can set up professional email on your domain here.

Because these moves involve rebuilding rather than importing, the best first step is a quick chat about your current site and what you want to achieve. Our UAE-based team will map out the simplest path for you - WhatsApp +971 58 553 6767 or support@dirhamaday.ae.
