Great job! Mike was very courteous and helpful. He completed the migration of our website quickly without any problems. He took the time to answer a few questions in person. It was a pleasure working with him.

- Paul from Toronto

Really impressed with the level of service provided. Mike on the migration team is especially helpful. I highly recommend!

- Chris Bruce

Been using Rebel as a domain registrar since the early 2000s when they were called DomainsAtCost. I’ve stuck with them for almost 20 years already because of one thing: the best customer service. No matter what happens they’re always there, ready to help, and just a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended for any services they offer.

Hosting plans with you in mind

Rebel offers both shared and private hosting. Shared hosting is an affordable and secure option for smaller websites and those with lower traffic levels. If you run a large website, a virtual private server (VPS) offers the extra space, security, and administrative access you need to control and configure the hosting environment. All of our hosting plans use the Plesk control panel for easy, intuitive management.
Power
Power hosting packages offer an affordable, secure way to get started online. Each Power plan provides space on a shared server; these plans are great options if you have a smaller website, or if your monthly traffic is low. Choose from a variety of budget-friendly packages based on your storage needs, email requirements, and number of domains.
Web Hosting
Managed WordPress
Super Power
If you run a large, high-traffic website or a booming e-commerce business, a virtual private server (VPS) offers the extra space, speed, and security you need. Each of our VPS packages comes with full administrative access, so you can control and configure the hosting environment to suit your company's needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

It usually takes a few days to complete the migration process. Your website will stay up and running the entire time, so you won't notice an interruption in service.

Our migration team copies all the files in your website, including your email mailbox and folder structure. During a Joomla, Drupal, or WordPress migration, we'll also copy your dashboard; the back end of your site will look exactly the same. The only thing that we can't copy is your address book — your migration representative will advise you to back up your contacts.

Your website is made up of a collection of files that are stored on your hosting company's server. Migrating a website simply means that you move your site files from one server to another. For most site owners, it's only necessary to migrate a site when switching hosting providers or moving to a private server.
When you switch to Rebel, we migrate your website for free. Our no-cost migration service is available with all hosting plans, so you can make the switch with confidence and peace of mind.
