How Migration Works

• Sign up for a new MechanicWeb hosting account.
• Open up a support ticket requesting migration.
• Optionally, you can provide your backup files and request a restore to speed up the migration. The backup files must be full account backups.

*You can directly upload backups from your previous hosting account without downloading them at your end.

WordPress Migration Tool

The WordPress migration tool is free for all hosting customers. You can use the tool to migrate your WordPress websites, for example, if your previous server does not have cPanel or DirectAdmin or has the full backup option disabled.

Manual WordPress Migration

In addition to the WordPress migration tool, you can utilize several built-in tools and WordPress plugins to migrate a WordPress website manually.

Free Migration Terms

Free migration is available if your previous server is a cPanel or DirectAdmin based server. Full cPanel / DirectAdmin Backup must be enabled on the previous server. Get in touch with us if your previous server is not a cPanel / DirectAdmin based server; you might still qualify for free migration.

For Reseller Hosting, we will migrate all cPanel / DirectAdmin accounts initially and 10 per month thereafter. There is no restriction on the number of accounts when you upload full cPanel backups.

For Managed VPS, Quasi, and Managed Dedicated Server, we will migrate all cPanel / DirectAdmin accounts if you have root access to the previous server. If you do not have root access, Reseller Hosting limits apply.

One of our migration specialists will spend up to 3 hours migrating your websites, databases, scripts, and emails to your new MechanicWeb hosting account. If we are unable to complete the migration for some reason, we will hand over the project to you or provide you with an estimate, whichever you prefer.

In most cases, we will complete the migration within 24 hours of receiving such a request, depending on the number of accounts and websites to migrate. However, there is no guarantee that such a timeframe will be met in all cases.

We will need your full cooperation and full access to the source hosting account for the migration process to function smoothly.

All files are transferred as is. End users are responsible for changing nameservers and ensuring any website or software level settings, config files, etc., are properly configured after the migration.

Free migration is a complimentary service offered free of cost to Shared, Reseller, Semi Dedicated, Managed VPS, Quasi, and Managed Dedicated Server clients. We do not guarantee that migration will be successful in all cases.
