When a site is moved from one CPanel host to another, the process is fairly streamlined. However, when the new host doesn’t use CPanel, files must be uploaded and transferred manually, which is time-consuming and carries more risk for errors. We recommend CPanel hosting because it’s the most user-friendly and popular way to manage your WordPress website - hosts like GoDaddy and DreamHost use their own custom panels, which can be buggy and confusing for customers. Due to the extra care and attention required to move sites away from those hosts, there is an added cost for those transfers.
