The number of websites you can migrate depends on your hosting plan’s capacity. Generally, you can migrate as many as your storage and hosting resources<\/a> allow.<\/p>\n If you plan to migrate multiple websites, for example, a domain and subdomains, submit a separate migration request for each one<\/b>.<\/p>\n You can submit up to five active requests at a time<\/b>. Once you have fewer than 5 requests in the queue, you can submit more. Bulk migrations aren’t allowed.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div> Learn more about the migration process for each type of website:<\/p> If your site is offline or you have a backup, you can easily upload your website files and database using the ‘Upload Backup Files’<\/b> option.

Note that credential-based migration supports WordPress admin<\/strong> and cPanel<\/strong> logins only.<\/p>\n If your WordPress website is a self-hosted, single-site installation and it’s currently online, follow these steps:<\/p>\n Enter your source domain name and you will be redirected to a page where you can fill in your WordPress login details. Please confirm that you won’t change your domain’s DNS settings until the transfer is complete.<\/p>\n Review the migration summary to ensure everything is correct, and click Submit request<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n NOTES<\/b><\/p>\n If your website is hosted at WordPress.<\/b>com instead of self-hosted, follow this tutorial: Moving from WordPress.com to WordPress.org<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n We do not currently support WordPress multisite migrations at Hostinger.

<\/div>Step 5 – Point a domain to Hostinger<\/h2>
Migrate your website to Hostinger first and only point your domain after the migration is completed<\/b>. This way, your original website stays online until the migration is finished. The migration estimated time may vary. You can track the progress in the Migrations<\/a> section in hPanel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n You will need to manually migrate your email<\/b> service. For instructions, refer to this tutorial: How to migrate email services to Hostinger Email.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n The migration process includes website files and databases. It does not include cron jobs, DNS records, custom SSL configuration, and FTP accounts.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Bulk migrations are not available at Hostinger.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul> See how website migration works in action. Click below to try the interactive demo:<\/p> \n You are eligible for a free website migration if:<\/p> Your website is currently hosted with another hosting provider other than Hostinger.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Your website is built with an open-source CMS, such as WordPress.org or Joomla.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Your hosting resources are enough to host your website.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Your website complies with our Terms of Service and Hosting Agreement regarding the type of content that can be hosted on Hostinger.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul> Websites created with custom builders like Blogger, Canva, Google Sites, Shopify, Squarespace, and others, cannot be migrated using this method. You will need to re-create your website – Hostinger Website Builder<\/a> is an excellent tool for this task.<\/p>\n<\/div> Our Terms of Service<\/a> outline the types of websites that cannot be hosted on Hostinger. Examples include websites that encourage illegal activities, infringe on intellectual property, host viruses, transmit spam, or serve as file repositories. You can also refer to our Hosting Agreement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div> We also recommend the following:<\/p> Disable two-factor authentication<\/a> and anti-bot verification<\/a> on your current hosting account and website admin page.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Ensure there is enough free disk space in your current hosting to create a backup.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul> If your website meets these conditions, proceed to the next step<\/a>. Otherwise, if it is already hosted at Hostinger, refer to the information below regarding internal migrations.<\/p> Transferring websites between Hostinger accounts or hosting plans does not qualify for free migration. You must perform these migrations manually or by using our paid internal migration tool.<\/p> Here are some helpful guides to assist you with the process:<\/p> After validating that your website meets the requirements, make sure you have an active hosting plan with at least one domain added<\/a>.<\/p> If you haven’t set up your hosting plan yet, you can request website migration as part of the setup process<\/a>.<\/p> Use either of the following methods to reach the migration form:<\/p> Open the Websites<\/a> <\/b>section and click Add Website <\/b>→ Migrate Website<\/b>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n Click Home<\/b> → click the drop-down under the Websites<\/a> <\/b>section and click Migrations<\/a><\/b>:<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>Step 1 – Requirements<\/h2>
