Moving takes three steps

  1. 1

    Start the free trial

    Pick a plan; your card is not charged during the trial.

  2. 2

    We move your site

    Send access to your current host through the secure form; our engineer moves files, databases and email.

  3. 3

    Point the domain

    Change the domain's name servers to ours — the site opens from Rivervo.

What every Rivervo hosting plan includes

NVMe storage on every plan

Sites and databases live on NVMe drives, the entry plan included — there is no slower «basic» storage tier.

Free SSL that renews itself

A Let’s Encrypt certificate is issued for every domain and subdomain on the hosting and renewed automatically before it expires.

Backups kept off the server

A copy every day kept for 7 days, a monthly copy kept for 12 months and databases every hour for the last 24 hours, stored apart from the hosting server. You restore a file, a database or the whole site from the panel.

Free migration by an engineer

Write to us after you order: our engineer moves the site, its databases, mailboxes and DNS records within 24 hours. Your old site keeps working until the domain is switched.

45 days to try it

Monthly plans start with 45 free days. You add a card at sign-up and nothing is charged until the trial ends; cancel in the panel before then and you pay nothing.

The renewal price is the sign-up price

There is no cheaper first term followed by a higher renewal. Paying yearly costs 10 months’ price; Rapids and Delta paid yearly include a free .com for the first year.

Your own panel, every tool in it

WordPress and other site engines from the installer, files, databases, PHP versions and settings, cron jobs, DNS zone, SSL, security rules, SSH and SFTP and a terminal in the browser — in the Rivervo panel.

Node.js and Python next to PHP

Node.js and Python applications run on the same hosting as your PHP sites; bigger apps can move to Rivervo Applications, deployed from Git.

Email on your domain

Mailboxes come with the hosting: 10 on Stream, 100 on Current, no limit on Rapids and Delta, with IMAP, SMTP and webmail.

Help at any hour

Chat, tickets and email 24/7 in English, Russian and Azerbaijani: the AI answers at once and an engineer takes over whenever it is needed.
