Looking to migrate from PRO ISP to a faster, more powerful hosting provider? You’re not alone. Many website owners, especially those running WordPress or WooCommerce, have made the move from PRO ISP to Servebolt to achieve significantly better website performance, speed, and scalability.
In fact, websites hosted on Servebolt often see at least 2x faster performance after switching from PRO ISP.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to move your website from PRO ISP to Servebolt — whether you want to do it yourself or use our free managed migration service. Let’s dive in.
Why Move from PRO ISP to Servebolt?
PRO ISP, founded in 2002, is a well-established Norwegian hosting provider offering domain names and web hosting services. While they are a strong player in the market, users who switch to Servebolt often do so for one key reason: performance.
Here’s why Servebolt is a superior hosting choice:
- Blazingly-fast performance: Our optimized infrastructure is built for speed, especially for WordPress and WooCommerce.
- Built-in security and scalability: Easily handle traffic spikes, updates, and security threats.
- Eco-friendly & sustainable hosting: More performance per watt.
- Expert support and free migrations: Zero hassle, zero downtime.

DIY Migration Instructions
Advanced users are welcome to move their sites manually. You’ll still get access to our Support team and guides.
If you’re migrating the site yourself, you’ll need to generate SSH key pairs.
Here’s how to generate an SSH key and connect to your PRO ISP server to start the transfer.
Another option to take care of migrating your site over yourself, you’ll most likely need a backup of your current installation or create a direct transfer from your current server to your new Bolt-powered site.
Step-by-Step: How to Migrate from PRO ISP to Servebolt
Before you begin the migration process, make sure to familiarise yourself with the best ways to prepare your site for migration to Servebolt.
Here’s a quick roadmap of what to expect when moving your site.
1. Create a Servebolt Account
If you haven’t already, sign up here and create your first free test Bolt — your new lightning-fast hosting environment.
2. Request Your Free Migration (Optional)
Go to our Migration Request Form and provide:
- Your current PRO ISP login credentials or SSH access
- Website type (e.g., WordPress, WooCommerce)
- Any specific scheduling or special requirements
Or reach out directly to our team via LiveChat; we’re always happy to help.
3. Prepare SSH Access
Servebolt suggests using SSH access for transfers since it usually completes in about 30 minutes. In contrast, SFTP is slower and can take several hours.
4. Test the Site on Servebolt
Once migrated, your website will be staged in your Servebolt environment. This is your opportunity to:
- Check speed improvements
- Test functionality
- Compare performance results
5. Update DNS Settings
To make your new Servebolt-hosted website live:
- Point your domain’s A record to the new Servebolt IP.
- Update DNS records via your registrar or current DNS provider.
- If you’re using Cloudflare and we manage your zone, we’ll handle this step for you.
Enabling maintenance mode during the switch ensures zero downtime, which is especially important for live eCommerce sites.
For a complete walkthrough, please take a look at our Going Live With Servebolt guide.
Go Live and Enjoy the Speed!
Once DNS propagation is complete (usually within a few hours), your website will be live on Servebolt—faster and more performant than ever.
You’ll also start benefiting from:
- Improved Core Web Vitals
- Lower bounce rates
- Higher conversion rates for your WooCommerce store or business site
