At SwitchUp Marketing, we work with web designers, freelancers, agencies, and digital professionals who are looking to step away from managing websites, hosting, and ongoing client support.
Whether you’re retiring, changing career direction, reducing your workload, or simply no longer wish to manage hosting and website clients, we can help provide a smooth transition for both you and your customers.
Based in Lincoln, we recently acquired a portfolio of website hosting clients from Lincolnshire-based freelancer Jake Wells. We took over the hosting, email services, support, and ongoing management, while honouring existing arrangements to ensure a seamless experience for clients.
For business owners, nothing changed overnight. Their websites remained live, emails continued working as expected, and they gained access to a wider range of digital marketing, website, and business growth services through SwitchUp Marketing.
Handing over clients you’ve worked with for years can feel daunting. Many freelancers and agencies worry about disruption, client satisfaction, or damaging relationships they’ve spent years building.
Our approach is designed to remove those concerns.
We Can Help With:
We take the time to understand your existing setup and ensure a structured handover process that protects both your reputation and your clients.
For clients, the goal is simple – continuity. Websites stay online, email services remain active, and support continues without interruption.
We primarily work with freelancers, web designers, developers, and small agencies that manage websites, hosting, domains, maintenance contracts, and ongoing support retainers.
Whether you have 10 clients or 200, we're happy to discuss the opportunity and understand what a successful handover would look like.
Not always.
Every acquisition is different. In some cases, websites remain on existing infrastructure initially, while in others we migrate services to our own managed hosting platform.
Our priority is always minimising disruption and ensuring websites, emails, and services remain operational throughout the transition.
Where possible, we aim to honour existing arrangements and pricing structures to make the transition as straightforward as possible for clients.
This was the approach we took when acquiring the hosting portfolio from Jake Wells, helping ensure a positive experience for all parties involved.
Yes.
Not every acquisition involves hosting. Some freelancers simply want to step away from providing ongoing support, updates, maintenance, or client communication.
We can often take over these responsibilities while ensuring clients continue receiving a professional service.
There are many reasons.
Some business owners are retiring, some are changing industries, and others simply want to focus on different areas of their business. Managing websites, hosting, domains, and support requests can become time-consuming, particularly when client numbers grow.
A portfolio transfer allows clients to remain supported while giving the original provider the flexibility to move forward with their next chapter.
As a full-service marketing agency in Lincoln, we’re able to offer more than just hosting support.
Many acquired clients choose to work with us on additional services such as:
This creates opportunities for businesses to continue growing while receiving support from a local team they can rely on.
Most importantly, we’re committed to maintaining the trust that has already been built between you and your clients.
If you’re a freelancer, web designer, developer, or agency owner looking to exit website management, hosting, or client support, we’d be happy to have a confidential conversation.
Based in Lincoln, we work with businesses across Lincolnshire and beyond to provide structured website client acquisitions and hosting portfolio transfers.
Whether you’re looking to transfer a handful of clients or an entire portfolio, we can help ensure a smooth process for everyone involved.
