Website, Domain, Email & eCommerce Consolidation / Migration to One Platform

Job ID: 40296019

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

Project Overview

I need an experienced web migration specialist to help consolidate and migrate my websites, domains, email, and eCommerce setup from multiple providers into one centralized platform that is easier to manage and more cost-effective.

Right now, my setup is spread across:

SiteGround for website hosting

GoDaddy for domain registration and DNS

Shopify for eCommerce

Possibly separate email services for custom email accounts

My goal is to move everything into one platform I can manage more easily, reduce monthly costs, and make sure nothing breaks during the process.

This project is very important to me because I do not have the technical expertise to do it safely on my own. I need someone who has done this before and can manage the migration carefully with minimal downtime and no loss of data, SEO, email, or store functionality.

Main Goal

Consolidate all websites, domains, DNS, email, and eCommerce into one manageable system, with a strong preference for:

Hostinger for hosting/domains/email

WordPress + WooCommerce replacing Shopify

Optional evaluation of Zoho Mail if better for email

I am open to recommendations if there is a better approach, but I want simplicity, control, and lower long-term costs.
