How do I migrate a site via FTP?

You can migrate WordPress sites by means of FTP using our Migration Center. This will duplicate over the site files and database into a package  that it makes for you.


To do this:

1. Login to Hamro.Cloud

2. Head to the Hamro.Cloud Migration Center and click Start New Migration.

3. Select the option, Migrate a WordPress site utilizing FTP and click Next.

4. Here you'll be required to include 4 pieces of data:

- Hostname: the FTP hostname, so the server you'd connect  with through FTP

- Domain: the domain name of the site you'll be migrating

- Username: the FTP username you'll use , it is all the time the domain of the site e.g. example.com

- Password: the FTP Password you'd use to connect with FTP.

5. When you've entered those details select Next.

6. The Migration Center will at that point demonstrate to you which packages will be migrated across, just select Start to begin the migration.


For a normal size site, you can expect that the migration should take 30 minutes to 60 minutes. You'll get an email informing you when the migration is finished as a matter of course; this can be deactivated in the Migrations Overview.


If you then want to migrate in the emails for the package, you can do this utilizing our Email Migrations instrument.
