How to Get Faster Help

Including the right details helps us reproduce issues quickly and give you a useful answer.

  • The domain you are previewing
  • The target server IP address
  • The preview path or page URL that is failing
  • A short description of the expected result versus what you saw
  • Your browser and device, if the issue appears device-specific

How Can We Help?

HostCheck is a free tool that lets you preview how your website looks and behaves on a new server before switching your DNS records. It's designed for web developers, sysadmins, and business owners who want to verify that everything works correctly during a server migration — without any risk of downtime or broken pages for live visitors.

Here are some of the most common reasons people get in touch with us:

  • Technical support — If you're having trouble previewing a website or the tool isn't loading your site correctly, let us know the domain and the server IP address you're testing and we'll investigate.
  • Feature requests — We're always looking to improve HostCheck. If there's a feature you'd like to see, such as support for additional DNS record types or new testing options, we'd love to hear your ideas.
  • Bug reports — Found something that doesn't look right? Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible, including the browser you're using and any error messages you see.
  • General enquiries — Questions about how HostCheck works, how DNS propagation affects your preview, or anything else related to server migrations and web hosting.
  • Business and partnerships — Interested in collaborating, advertising, or integrating HostCheck into your workflow? We're open to conversations about partnerships and sponsorships.

We're a small, dedicated team passionate about making server migrations easier and less stressful. Every message is read by a real person, and we do our best to provide helpful, detailed responses. Whether you're migrating a single WordPress blog or managing dozens of client websites, we're here to help you get it right the first time.
