Migration

We are committed to simplifying processes, which is why we’ve developed an intuitive tool to automate the migration of any WordPress website. With our migration tool, you can easily migrate from any hosting provider, provided you meet a few basic requirements.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure the following:

  • SSH Access: Remote server must have SSH enabled.

  • WP-CLI: Installed and accessible on the remote server.

  • WordPress Path: Full installation path to the WordPress site on the remote server.

Setting Up SSH Credentials

  1. Navigate to the Site's SSH/SFTP Page on your dashboard.

  2. Copy the local SSH public key from the page.

  3. Paste the key into the remote server user’s ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.

  4. Once this is done, you’re ready to begin the migration process.
