This article describes how to migrate data from another web hosting provider to your hosting.com account. When you migrate from another hosting provider, we recommend that you leave plenty of overlap time (no less than 7 days) between opening your hosting.com account and closing your previous account. Doing so helps ensure that your web site's downtime is minimal during migration.

Our migrations are processed in the order in which they are received. We take great pride in providing fast migrations. However, several factors, such as the current host's network speed, the number of sites being migrated, and migration complexity can all influence the migration speed. Our Migrations team will keep you informed of your migration's progress.

If your current web hosting provider uses cPanel, we can migrate your existing site for you by doing an account transfer. Account transfers are available for the following types of accounts:

• Shared hosting accounts.

• Reseller hosting accounts.

• Managed WordPress hosting accounts.
