If you’d like to move your WordPress website from a Shared or Cloud plan to your Agency plan or within your Agency plan, there’s no need to do it manually — it only takes a few clicks!<\/p>

How to Clone WordPress or Builder Websites to Agency Plan<\/strong><\/h2>

Moving your WordPress or Builder website to an Agency plan is automated and requires just a few clicks. Follow these steps:<\/p>

Step 1: Access the Cloning Feature<\/strong><\/h3>

Navigate to your Agency hosting plan dashboard and click the Add Website<\/strong> button, then choose Clone WordPress Websites<\/strong> from the available options.<\/p>

\"\"<\/h3>

Step 2: Choose Websites to Clone<\/strong><\/h3>

From the dropdown menu, select the websites you want to copy. The cloning feature supports multiple websites simultaneously<\/strong>, saving you time when migrating several sites.<\/p>

\"\"<\/h3>

Step 3: Wait for Completion<\/strong><\/h3>

The cloning process typically takes up to 15 minutes<\/strong> per website. You can safely close or leave the page during this time. Once finished, your cloned websites will automatically appear in your Website List.<\/p>

After Cloning: Next Steps<\/strong><\/h2>

Your cloned websites will initially be assigned temporary domains<\/strong>. Before making them live:<\/p>

    \n
  1. Test your cloned websites<\/strong> on the temporary domains to ensure everything functions correctly<\/li>\n
  2. Remove the domain<\/strong> from your original hosting plan (learn how<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  3. Connect your actual domain name<\/strong> to the cloned website on your Agency plan (learn how<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>

    Important Considerations<\/strong><\/h2>

    Backup Your Destination Domain<\/strong>
    \nIf your destination domain already contains content, we strongly recommend creating a backup before cloning (    learn how<\/a>), as the existing content will be overwritten during the migration process.<\/p>

    Subdomain Preservation<\/strong>
    \nAny subdomains configured on your destination domain will remain unchanged and won’t be affected by the cloning process.<\/p>

    Migration Time<\/strong>
    \nWhile most migrations complete within 15 minutes, larger websites with extensive databases or media libraries may take longer.<\/p>

    Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>

    Can I clone websites from a different Hostinger account?<\/strong>
    \nNo, you can only clone WordPress or Hostinger website builder websites within the same Hostinger accounts. For hosting plans under the different Hostinger account, you need to perform the manual migration.<\/p>

    How many websites can I clone at once?<\/strong>
    \nThe Agency plan allows you to clone multiple WordPress and Builder websites simultaneously, streamlining bulk migrations.<\/p>

    What happens to my original website after cloning?<\/strong>
    \nYour original website remains unchanged on the source hosting plan. You’ll need to manually remove the domain from the old plan once you’ve verified the cloned version works correctly.<\/p>

    Will my website be offline during cloning?<\/strong>
    \nNo, your original website stays online throughout the cloning process. The clone is created on a temporary domain, ensuring zero downtime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
