Transferability from Common Hosts

HostGator offers new customers an excellent opportunity to take advantage of limited free site migration services with our VPS and Dedicated hosting plans—just select a 12-month billing term! This free migration service is available within 30 days of signup, making your transition seamless. However, if you opt for a 1-month term for either VPS or Dedicated hosting, please note that a one-time fee of $149.99 will apply. For more information, please visit the HostGator Website Migration article.

Here are some hosts we can migrate your content to. Because different hosts have different structures, we may not be able to migrate all of the content from your old host. The chart below helps identify what can be migrated for common hosts.

Terms:
  • Can be Migrated - This column indicates whether we can migrate your website content or not and, if so, whether a proprietary system prevents us from migrating everything.
  • Full Backup - This column indicates whether or not we can make a full cPanel backup of your old hosting account and use that to migrate your content. This method of migrating your content transfers the most items.
Key:
 - Can be Migrated Full Backup

This host's main plans can be migrated (please note that some hosts continue to add proprietary methods that cannot be migrated).

If your account meets the requirements (under 4GB and has enough free space), we should be able to create a backup. If your old host supports cpbackup-excludes and is over 4GB, we can also create a backup and we will have to download the files manually.

This host provides a proprietary method to obtain content. Not all content can be migrated.

For proprietary services, we can only use their proprietary backups to obtain content. Not all content may be available.

 -

We are unable to complete a full backup, so we can only download website content and databases.

This host's plan does not provide transferable content.

This host's plan does not provide transferable content.

The above table is not a complete list of hosts to which we can migrate content from though we can migrate from most web hosts. If you have questions about migration, please contact us via phone or chat, and we can assist you.

 


Sites we cannot migrate

We cannot migrate from hosts that do not allow access to your website files (typically by FTP) and/or databases and/or the data in those databases. Without access, we cannot copy and migrate your site.
