Performing Migration

To transfer accounts and websites with applications from other hosting servers:

1. Log in to Plesk on the destination server.
2. Go to Server Management > Extensions > Plesk Migrator > Start New Migration.
3. Specify the following:
   • The source server's address and port number. Specify either the IP address or the host name of the server from which you want to transfer data.

     If the source server is on an IPv6 address, then you should specify the server's host name instead of IP address.

   • The username and password of the administrator of the source server. If migrating to a Windows-based destination server, also specify the Administrator's password for the destination server.
   • The path to the directory where temporary files will be stored.
4. Specify whether you want to transfer all data related to user accounts and domains from the source server, or only specific items.

   If some of Plesk objects from the source server (such as user accounts, domains, and so on) are already present on the destination server, you can replace them by selecting the Replace existing objects checkbox.

5. To ensure that websites and email services are operating after migration, select the Check the operability of services after migration checkbox.
6. Click Next.
7. If you have chosen to transfer only specific items, in this step, select the checkboxes corresponding to the user accounts and domains that you want to transfer. Also, specify what types of data should be transferred: websites, email accounts, databases.
8. Click Next.
9. If the system detects potential transfer issues, such as missing required components, you will see a list of these issues. We recommend that you resolve all these issues using the links available on this page and then proceed by clicking Next.
10. Specify the new IP addresses that should be used by websites, if you want to assign the addresses manually. By default, IP mapping is carried out automatically.
11. Click Next. The data transfer process will start immediately.
