To move your website away from UENI, first check who owns your domain and what your contract says about notice, then set up your email on the new domain settings, rebuild the site elsewhere, redirect the old pages and only then cancel. UENI is a UK website builder for small businesses on a subscription; as with any builder, the domain and email are the parts that need care.
What to check before you start
- The domain: did you bring your own, or did the package include one? Ask who the registrant is.
- Your contract: the term, renewal date and any notice period.
- Email: is your business email on that domain, and who provides it?
- Your content: copy your text and photos before you lose access.
Rebuilding without losing Google
List the pages Google sends visitors to (Search Console shows this), keep the same topics on the new site, and set up a permanent redirect from each old address to the new one. Update your Google Business Profile with the new website link.
Where to go next
WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace or Wix can all work. Choose based on who will update the site and what it needs to do, and make sure the domain, hosting and email are all in your name this time.
We move sites off UENI, GoDaddy, Yell and other builders: website builder help.
