Moving from Hoo.be
Move from Hoo.be to Portage.
Paste your Hoo.be address and we’ll rebuild it on Portage for you to look over. Nothing goes public until you publish.
An example page before and after moving to Portage. Before, it’s a plain grey list of four links. After, it has a lake scene at the top and coloured buttons.
- How it comes over
- From its address
- What you need
- The page’s address, and a phone or a computer
- What it costs
- Nothing. Every feature is free.

If the read doesn’t find your links, the review offers two other ways: a copy of the page saved from your browser, or a list you paste in.
What comes over
Comes with you
- Your name, your bio and your profile picture
- Your links, in the order you had them, with their section headings
- The small pictures beside your links
- Your old page’s colours and font, when we can read them, offered as the first look to pick
- Your social profiles, as a row of icons
May stay behind
- Your old stats and any sign-up list your old service kept for you. Download those there before you close it.
- Tools that only work on the old service, like its own checkout or booking calendar. The links to them come over.
Worth a look when your Hoo.be page arrives
- Some tiles on a hoo.be page only appear in a browser, so we can’t see them. Hold the list up against your page and add anything that’s missing.
What gets better on the way
While we rebuild your page, we look at the links you had and suggest what could work better. You choose, and nothing changes unless you tick it.
A live badge
A link to your Twitch or Kick channel can show a live badge while you’re streaming.
Players on the page
YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud and Vimeo links can play right on your page, so nobody has to leave it.
Your own email list
A newsletter link can become a sign-up box, and you can download the addresses whenever you want.
Files that stay put
A link to a PDF can become a file kept with your page, so it doesn’t break if the old one moves.
Codes with a copy button
A discount code gets a button that copies it, so people don’t have to type it out.
No cookie banner
Your page doesn’t use cookies, so there’s nothing for visitors to accept.
