Try an ordinary update
Instead of judging only the template gallery, test adding a page, changing a navigation label and replacing an image. Ask the person who will maintain the site to try the same tasks. Their day-to-day experience is part of the decision.
Check what can move
Read the export options for content, files and other data. Some parts may be portable while a layout or integration is tied to the service. Record any limitation you accept before investing in a large amount of content.
Price the working version
List the features your project actually needs, including forms, redirects, custom domains and collaboration. Check the relevant plan’s current terms. HostRat does not rank providers or imply that one tool suits every project.
