SEEKING FREELANCER - remote - One-time Wordpress hosting provider switch and migration help needed.

I need help choosing a more appropriate WordPress host and migrating my three sites to the new host. I currently use WP Engine and pay $99/month for three sties with less than 1,000 visitors per month combined.

Two of the sites are very small and straightforward blogs. They are czstrong.com and theladude.com The other site is my businesses website - cpustorage.com. I don't think it's very complex either.

The Job:

* Recommend a new hosting solution that is less than $50/month. The cheaper the better, as long as it's reliable and easy to manage and deploy to.

* Migrate my three websites to the new provider.

* Setup SSL on the signup page of cpustorage.com

* Teach me how to manage the site. I currently use Git Push to Deploy, so if the new host had that that'd be nice. Or, feel free to teach me an even easier way to deploy!

I would like to pay a flat-fee for the whole project. I don't care if it just takes you a couple hours to do it. I'm not familiar with how much I should be paying for this, so please provide me with a quote.

If you'd like to help me with this project, please email me with your quote and telling me a bit about your relevant experience. I created these three sites myself and set them all up so I can help you get this done as efficiently as possible.

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

I run http://www.ecowebhosting.co.uk - you could host those three sites under our Standard Package for £4.99 per month.

I'll email you with more details.

Your main obstacle, the real wildcard, is going to be WPEngine. They are not very proactive about helping people to leave.
