Free House Dance Plus — Hosting Migration & Ongoing Support
A zero-downtime hosting migration and an ongoing IT support relationship with Free House Dance Plus, a Calgary dance studio with 40 years of history and a WordPress & Elementor site their own team keeps up to date.
A Website That Couldn't Afford Downtime
Free House Dance Plus runs over 100 classes a week across 21+ dance styles, and their website is how students find and register for classes — so it's a business-critical part of their day-to-day operations. When it came time to move to a new hosting provider, the site couldn't just go dark while the move happened. I handled the migration end to end, and I've stayed on as their go-to for anything technical since.
Moving Hosts With Minimal Interruption
Everything was copied over to the new host first, tested and fixed in place, and only switched over once it was ready — so visitors barely noticed the change.
Recommended a Host
Assessed their needs and recommended a hosting provider suited to the site and their budget.
Set Up the New Accounts
Configured the new hosting account and set up their business email addresses on the new host.
Migrated Everything
Copied the full WordPress site — files, database, and media — over to the new server.
Fixed What Broke
Worked through the configuration errors that came up during the move before anything went live.
Once everything was tested and working, I pointed the domain to the new host — no lost bookings, no downtime, no disruption to their students.
Support That's Still Going
The Free House Dance Plus team publishes their own updates and manages the day-to-day content on their site — they don't need me for that. But when something comes up that they can't solve on their own, I'm the one they call. It's the kind of ongoing IT support relationship I offer alongside web and graphic design: available when it matters, out of the way when it doesn't.
