I need some advice on moving my website and setting up professional email. Right now, my site and domain are with GoDaddy, but I want to switch to a better provider. Here’s what I need:
Move my current website to a new host
Set up a professional email using my current domain
Register a new domain and host it on the same provider
Create a separate professional email for the new domain
Questions:
Which web hosting provider would be best for this setup?
Can I manage both websites and emails easily in one place?
I’ve looked into Ionos and SiteGround, but I’m open to other suggestions. Are these good options?
Budget & Tech Details:
Budget: Around $5 per month
Location: USA
Website Type: WordPress
Traffic: ~1,000 visits/month
Experience: No experience with Linux servers or VPS management
I appreciate any recommendations or insights. Thanks in advance!
Check out Hivium. It’s within your budget, and they offer free website migration if you need help moving from GoDaddy. Since you have a WordPress site, the migration should be pretty easy.
I recommend NixiHost. I host 5 WordPress websites with them and have never had issues. Their support team helped me migrate everything from my previous provider, and they’re based in Texas, USA.
If you pay annually, you can get a shared hosting plan for $5 per month, which includes unlimited emails, SSL, and security (Imunify360)—all features that I had to pay extra for with my last provider.

If you’re changing the domain name of your WordPress website, you’ll need to set up proper redirects so you don’t lose your Google rankings. It’s best to have someone who knows web migrations handle it.
Check out Netcup Webhosting. They have great uptime, and their support forum is active with quick responses. If you’re moving to a US-based hosting, they have affordable options.
