FAQs: What's Involved?

You will end up with a dynamic copy of your site held in WordPress and hosted wherever you wish (maybe your desktop computer). You will also have a static copy of the site hosted on a static page provider of your choice.

Yes, you can install the plugin directly from the WordPress plugin directory and immediately use the Free Tier service to publish a static version of your site. If you have a larger site and want faster publication then you may need to subscribe to one of our paid services for the additional capacity.

Anywhere you like with with the proviso that the Make Me Static Web-crawlers can access it. Typically on a machine in your home or office so long as it's made available to the Internet by means of a proxy or Tunnel. We can recommend a number of free tunnelling solutions, please ask for more detail on the Forums.

Of course! We provide free support via our  Support Forums, alternatively we offer a very cost effective migration package where we convert your site into a static version and set-up the Plugin and all other associated configuration - starting at £25 (one-off).

Of course! We offer an un-managed service whereby we provide you with a blank WordPress instance running in it's own isolated environment for just £3 per month.

Alternatively we offer managed instances for £10 per month where we will migrate in your existing instance, configure Make Me Static, and deal with ongoing support queries.

Absolutely! Domain fees are relatively inexpensive. For example we charge £6 per year for a UK domain name or £10 per years for a .COM domain. (Please ask for a quote if you have a more exotic domain name) Typically we charge a registration fee when domains are transferred to us, which extends the renewal date of the domain by 12 months. Our fees do not cover any 'exit' fees your current provider may charge.
