Why I Moved From Wordpress to Carrd (And How to Stop Wasting Money on WP Hosting, Too)

In this episode, Ian discusses his recent decision to migrate a large portion of his dormant web projects and products from expensive WordPress installations to Carrd. With dozens of inactive sites sitting on managed WordPress hosting, the monthly costs were quickly adding up without generating any real return. By transitioning these domains to simple, elegant landing pages, he managed to eliminate unnecessary hosting fees while keeping the domains active.

Ian explains how he and a virtual assistant converted these sites into streamlined Carrd landing pages focused on email capture and newsletter growth. He shares his perspective on why modern creators with multiple ideas should prioritize newsletter-centric landing pages over traditional, heavy WordPress blog layouts. He also touches on using alternative platforms like Ghost for memberships and Framer for rapid development.

Finally, the episode provides a quick walkthrough of how to configure custom domains and DNS settings within the Carrd backend. Whether you have a handful of dormant projects or a massive portfolio of fifty sites, this migration strategy offers a highly cost-effective and agile way to build an audience without the financial burden of traditional web hosting.

Key takeaways

• Managed WordPress hosting can become incredibly expensive when maintaining dozens of dormant or semi-active sites.
• Migrating inactive domains to Carrd landing pages with email opt-ins keeps the domains productive by building an email list at a fraction of the cost.
• A simple landing page focused on newsletter signups is often more effective and easier to maintain than a complex, multi-page WordPress site.
• Platforms like Ghost and Framer offer modern, elegant, and cost-effective alternatives to WordPress for memberships and design-heavy projects.
• Setting up custom domains in Carrd is a straightforward process that requires only basic DNS record updates.
