Move From Kinsta To Liberation: Website & Email Migration
When you move from Kinsta, a person handles this website migration for your WordPress site off Kinsta's managed platform, tested before it goes live, and schedules the cutover around your schedule, not ours.
How the move from Kinsta works
We handle each step so you can keep working.
The short answer
Moving off Kinsta means the website itself (files, database, DNS) — Kinsta doesn’t sell email hosting, so your mailboxes stay exactly where they are unless you tell us otherwise. Just the site moves, as part of one free migration handled by a person on our team.
When you move from Kinsta to Liberation, the goal is a Kinsta migration you never have to think about twice: the same pages, the same design, the same functionality, just running on infrastructure you own instead of Kinsta’s per-visit pricing tiers and overage fees. A move from Kinsta is handled by a person, not an automated plugin — every page is copied over, tested against the live Kinsta site, and verified before your domain is switched.
Business owners who move from Kinsta often ask how long the migration takes and whether anything will break in the process. In most cases a single-site Kinsta migration wraps up within a few business days of approving the plan, and because your original Kinsta site stays live and untouched throughout, there’s no window where visitors see a broken or half-finished site. If you’re weighing whether to move from Kinsta now, the practical answer is that waiting only risks another visit-limit overage fee before the Kinsta migration happens.
Most single-site migrations complete within a few business days of you approving the plan, with a scheduled cutover window so there’s no unexpected downtime.
What actually happens
We copy, we don't cut over yet
Your Kinsta site stays live and untouched while we build the copy on Liberation’s servers.
We test on our servers first
The migrated copy is checked against the live Kinsta site — pages, forms, plugins, email — before anything is pointed at it.
We schedule the cutover with you
DNS changes happen at a time you choose, and we monitor for propagation issues after the switch.
You keep your domain name and, if you’re moving Kinsta email too, your existing addresses — nothing changes for the people emailing you or visiting your site.
- Free migration no setup fee, no migration fee, no surprise line on the first invoice.
- No downtime cutover DNS changes are scheduled and monitored, not left to chance.
- U.S.-owned infrastructure and support, not outsourced overseas.

Common questions
Will my site go down during the move?
No — your Kinsta site stays live while we build and test the copy, and the DNS cutover is scheduled and monitored.
Do I have to move my domain registration too?
No. You can keep your domain registered at Kinsta and simply point it at Liberation’s servers — the DNS change is the only step, and Kinsta’s own manual migration documentation covers the same DNS cutover process from their side.
What happens to my Kinsta visit-limit overage fees?
They go away. Liberation’s WordPress Hosting doesn’t meter visits the way Kinsta does, you’re billed a flat monthly rate regardless of traffic spikes.
Is the migration really free?
Yes, for a standard site and mailbox migration, regardless of which plan you choose.
Do I need technical skills to move from Kinsta?
Yes. When you move from Kinsta to Liberation, our team handles the entire migration for you — you don’t need any technical experience, and your current site stays live and untouched until the new one is tested and ready to go.
