Migrate from Anchovy to Born Digital
Need to move on from Anchovy? Born Digital migrates your WordPress site to a faster stack with dedicated support — no more being passed between teams.
What We Deliver
End-to-end solutions engineered for performance and growth.
Zero-Downtime Migration
We clone your WordPress site to our infrastructure, run thorough testing, and switch DNS only when everything is verified. Your visitors never see an error page or experience downtime during the transition.
Full Site Audit & Cleanup
Before we migrate, we audit every plugin, theme file, database table, and media asset. Unused plugins get removed, bloated post revisions are cleaned, and database tables are optimised for peak performance.
Performance Optimisation
We configure server-level caching, upgrade to PHP 8.x, set up Redis object caching, enable a global CDN, and optimise every image. The result is a measurably faster site that scores higher on Core Web Vitals.
Security Hardening
Every migrated site receives Cloudflare WAF protection, automated malware scanning, two-factor authentication for all admin accounts, a hardened wp-config, and daily off-site backups to keep your data safe.
Email & DNS Migration
We handle the full DNS cutover including MX records, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration so your email deliverability is never compromised. Every record is pre-validated before the switch.
Ongoing Managed Hosting
After migration, we keep your site healthy with WordPress core and plugin updates, security patches, uptime monitoring, and daily backups. Managed hosting plans start from EUR 150 per month with no lock-in.
Why Choose Born Digital
No Lock-In, Full Ownership
You own your code, your content, and your hosting account. We never hold your site hostage. If you decide to move on, we hand over everything with full documentation and no exit fees.
2-5x Faster Load Times
Our optimised hosting stack — PHP 8.x, Redis, global CDN, image compression — consistently delivers two to five times faster page loads compared to budget shared hosting, improving both user experience and search rankings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you migrate my WordPress site from Anchovy?
Yes. Even though Anchovy is now part of 9H Digital, we can still migrate your site regardless of where it is currently hosted. The process takes three to five business days and is completely seamless for your visitors.
Will my site look and work the same after migrating?
Yes. We guarantee a like-for-like transfer. Your site goes live on our staging environment first for your sign-off. Once approved, we switch DNS and then discuss any optional improvements you may want.
What if Anchovy built my site and I don't have source files?
That is common, especially with agency transitions. We only need your WordPress admin credentials. From there we extract the full theme, all plugins, database, and media files without Anchovy's involvement.
How much does it cost to migrate from Anchovy?
Most Anchovy migrations cost between EUR 500 and EUR 1,500. After a free audit of your current site, we deliver a fixed-price proposal so you can budget with confidence before the project starts.
Do you offer ongoing support after migration?
We do. Monthly plans from EUR 150 cover WordPress updates, daily backups, Cloudflare security, uptime monitoring, and priority access to our developers. No long-term contracts — cancel any time.
