Sound familiar?

You want to be free of client-related worries—not free of your clients.

When you’ve been building websites for years, you’ve also built relationships. So handing things over feels like letting go of something you’re proud of. And rightly so. That’s why we don’t just look at a list of domain names—we look at the companies behind them.

All at once, or just a part at first: you set the pace.

  1. You’re closing your business, or taking a permanent job.
  2. Retirement is approaching, and you’re looking for someone who takes your clients just as seriously as you do.
  3. You want to design and build, not run updates on Sunday evenings.
  4. Your agency is shifting toward strategy or content, and technical work no longer fits the picture.
  5. It’s been on your to-do list for months, but you don’t know who to turn to.

Where the Difference Lies

For us, a transfer isn’t the end—it’s the beginning.

Most hosting providers simply move servers and send a new invoice. We integrate every website into the same system we use to help our own clients grow.

01

A platform

Hosting on servers within the EU, with monitoring, backups, and updates that just happen. No more surprises.

02

A Partner

A single point of contact who knows the website inside and out. Backed by a team for marketing, development, and AI if the client wants to take things further.

03

A Roadmap

Every website receives a score and a next step in Mission Control. Your client sees what can be improved, without anyone having to sell anything.

What you hand over

You choose how much. We’ll take care of the rest.

Hosting & Domains

Management, renewals, and monitoring on EU servers that we monitor ourselves.

Maintenance & Updates

Core, themes, and plugins updated; backups tested; and performance measured.

Support & agreements

Your customers’ questions and the agreements you have with them will continue as usual.

All or part

A complete portfolio, just the hosting, or only the clients you can no longer serve.

Will you continue to design and build on your own? Then we’ll work together rather than side by side: you handle the creative side, and we’ll take care of the technology and future growth.

No minimum number of websites required.

Here’s how it works

Four steps. It’s not until the last one that anything changes.

1

Short intake

How many websites, which platform, which hosting provider. A rough estimate is enough. No logins, no customer data.

2

Health Check

Based on the public-facing portion of each site, we measure speed, versions, security, and SEO/GEO. You’ll receive that overview, even if we don’t proceed any further.

3

Custom Proposal

A personalized proposal, tailored to your portfolio and your plans. No standard price per site and no obligation.

4

Migration at Your Own Pace

Together, we’ll decide when and how your customers will be notified, and we’ll migrate site by site. No one will be left behind.

Everything you tell us stays between you and a single point of contact.

What Your Customer Notices

The same website. A whole different feel.

After a traditional acquisition

  • A new name on the invoice
  • Action only when something breaks
  • No insight into the website’s performance
  • A support ticket for every question

At Are Agency

  • A familiar face who knows the site
  • Proactive monitoring and updates
  • A score and next steps in Mission Control
  • Marketing, development, and AI at their fingertips—if they want them

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have any questions first? That makes sense.

If you don’t see your question listed here, just ask it using the form below.

No. There is no minimum. We review even five websites with the same level of attention.

You’ll receive a personalized proposal. What it includes depends on what you manage, the current state of the websites, and your specific needs. There’s no fixed price per site, and you’re under no obligation.

Only what is publicly visible: page load speed, software versions (to the extent they are visible), SSL and security settings, and the basics of SEO and GEO. We don’t need access to those.

Yes. You can hand over hosting and maintenance separately, while you keep the design and the client relationship.

No. We assess on a per-website basis whether a migration is necessary and plan it so that your customer doesn’t notice a thing.

That depends on your contracts and what is being transferred. In any case, your customers must be properly informed, and their consent may be required for contract transfers or data processing. If in doubt, have a lawyer review your contracts.

No. Hosting and maintenance stand on their own. Mission Control shows what’s possible; your client decides for themselves if and when to take the next step.

We’ll ask for those only once an agreement has been reached, and then through a secure channel. You don’t need them during the first conversation.
