ONIWC
Bring your website

Move your website to ONIWC in minutes.

Already have a website or app? Bring it as it is. We set up everything it needs, put it online with SSL and back it up every day. You manage it all from one simple dashboard.

How it works

Three steps, no servers to set up

  1. Step 1

    Bring your files

    Upload a ZIP of your website, connect a Git repository, or start a new WordPress.

  2. Step 2

    We set it up

    We recognise what it is, install what it needs and build it if it needs building.

  3. Step 3

    It goes live

    Your site opens at its own secure address straight away. Add your own domain whenever you’re ready.

What you can host

Made for the websites businesses actually run

WordPress

  • Start a new WordPress in one click, database included
  • Or upload your existing site and import its database
  • Plugins, themes and media uploads all work
  • Daily backups of files and database

PHP and Laravel

  • PHP 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4, and switch any time
  • MySQL databases with their details given to your code
  • .htaccess, pretty URLs and the common PHP extensions
  • Laravel uploaded with its vendor folder is served from public/ automatically

HTML websites

  • Upload your folder as a ZIP and it is live
  • Your own 404 page if you have one
  • Edit files right in the browser
  • Served fast, with no app to keep running

React and Vite

  • We install and build it for you
  • Every page link works, even on refresh
  • Served as fast static files

Next.js

  • Server rendering and API routes

  • Scheduled tasks that run inside your app
Git

Deploy from your repository

Connect a public repository on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket and choose the branch. Press “Publish latest code” whenever you want the newest version online. Code in a private repository? Upload it as a ZIP instead.

  • Every deploy is kept as a version you can go back to
  • A failed build never takes your live site down
  • Build and app logs one click away
  • Environment settings and API keys stored encrypted

Moving your website: common questions

Can you move my website for me?

Yes. Website migration and transfer are available as a separately quoted service, priced on your site’s size, data and complexity. Open a ticket from your dashboard and we will send a quote before any work starts.

How do I move a WordPress site myself?

Upload a ZIP of your WordPress folder, then import your database export (an .sql file) under Databases. We connect your site to its new database automatically.

Will my site be down while it moves?

Your old hosting keeps serving until you point your domain at ONIWC. Set everything up on your oniwc.com address first, check it, then switch the domain.

Is there anything you cannot host?

Sites built on Python, Ruby, Go or .NET, Docker images, and apps that need special software installed on the server are not supported. If you are unsure, ask us before you subscribe.
