PALM TREE CLUB
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE Joining our managed hosting:
What It Is Not
Like with the vast majority of website hosts, you’ll want to keep your domain with Google Domains, GoDaddy, etc.
Email Hosting
Each subdomain is an additional $19/month and does not include a free template. Most of our hosting clients choose to incorporate add-on pages as pages of their website instead of separate domains due to cost and ease of updating (one login as opposed to several!)
If you need hosting for a subdomain, email [email protected] and we can send you the details to get that set up.
We need to use a third party application to migrate these blog posts and we’ll pass that cost on to you. That’s something we have to pay for and depending on how many blog posts you have, the price varies. On average, a website with 100 blog posts would be about $70 to migrate.
If you have questions about this, just send your blog post count to [email protected] and we can give you a more accurate estimate!
Please note that this isn’t something we profit off of. We’re passing the hard cost of migrating your posts directly to you.
A site that works on WordPress.com, Squarespace or Showit
We recommend the WP Optimize plugin to help you go through your website to remove unused images. Be aware that occasionally it doesn’t pick up an image that is being used somewhere and may remove it so if you decide to go through this process, give us a heads up beforehand and we’ll do a backup of your site beforehand. We also recommend Imagify to help size large images down if you forgot to do so before uploading. To optimize images before uploading, check out this video.
Hands on SEO help
Our SEO course will guide you through everything you need to know about optimizing your site for search engines, but the Palm Tree Club does not include any hands on help from us (other than ensuring we’ve done all we can to help your site load quickly!)
What It Is
We’ll replace Showit, Squarespace, Bluehost, GoDaddy and other hosts. For this reason, our managed hosting only works with WordPress websites.
A complimentary full website design from our design library
Free blog post migration from Showit or WordPress
See note to the left if you’re coming from a different builder platform.
Real human support from the team that designed your template.
Malware Monitoring
So no one will see your work-in-progress-site.
FAST Managed Hosting
We’ve checked our hosting against the exact same site hosted elsewhere, and ours tend to load significantly faster. If you want to learn why this is vital, listen to this post about search engine optimization.

What happens after I join?
1
2
You’ll let us know where you currently host, if you have content that needs to be migrated, which template you would like, etc.
3
We’ll get everything set up for you on either a staging site or a live site. If you would like a live site, you can also have us turn on the “Coming Soon” page to avoid visitors seeing your work-in-progress. This is also the time when we typically migrate your blog posts from your old site to your new site.
4
We’ll add you to the setup course + the SEO course and give you your new site login. If you get stuck, you’re always welcome to email [email protected] for help.
5
Once your new site is perfect, just send us an email and we’ll take care of the technical stuff to make it LIVE! We’ll also turn on caching and CDN to help your new site load as quickly as possible.
FAQ
YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, WE HAVE ANSWERS
We’ll replace you current host (Squarespace, Bluehost, WordPress.com, Showit, etc.). Once your migration is complete, you should be able to cancel your other hosting (double-check with us before deleting anything!).
Just keep in mind that if you have email set up with your other hosting or your domain is registered with that host, you’ll either need to move those or just pay for those options. If you need to move your email, we recommend Google Business mail (it’s what we use). If you need to move your domain, we recommend Google Domains.
Are we on Google’s payroll? Nope! We just like keeping everything in one place and most people use Gmail.
The current version of The Palm Tree Club is only for WordPress users. If you’re interested in a Showit version of the Palm Tree Club, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]
Like with all website hosts, you’ll need to pay for your domain separately. Depending on how your email is currently set up, you may also need to migrate it to something like Google Business mail for easier management.
The only other fee you’ll need to pay for is an Elementor Pro license. That is $49 a year and is required for all of our Elementor websites.
Yes! Our support is one of the things that sets up apart from the hosting companies that charge only a few dollars a month. If something breaks or you need help with something, just send us an email!
Yes, by joining the Palm Tree Club, you commit to hosting with us for at least one year. Any early cancellations would incur additional fees.
No, but we can help you get set up with Google’s GSuite, which we highly recommend for business email. It’s only $6/month/user.
Yep! You can choose from any of our full WordPress website designs. Add-on pages (such as the pricing or album pages) are not included in the offer but can be added at any point.
We’re happy to help! Just inquire here for details.
If you’re coming from WordPress or Showit, your content migration is free!
If you’re coming from Squarespace, Wix or another platform, most likely we’ll need to use a third party service to export your content. That’s something we have to pay for and depending on how many blog posts you have, the price varies. On average, a website with 100 blog posts would be about $70 to migrate. If you have questions about this, just send your blog post count to [email protected] and we can give you a more accurate estimate!
Please note that this isn’t something we profit off of. We’re passing the hard cost of migrating your posts directly to you.
There should be no or very little interruption in service while we are migrating your website.
We can manage hosting for WordPress.org websites. WordPress.com websites can only be hosted by WordPress.com.
There are a few key differences between the two WordPress options. WordPress.org is free and open-source. As a a result, you’ll have a lot more flexibility in building your website. WordPress.com is still WordPress, but there are certain restrictions based on which plan you choose (because they host your website). Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] with additional questions about this.
You may claim any of our WordPress designs that are available in The Palm Shop.
