FAQ on Website Migration

What do I need to successfully migrate my site?

Before transferring your site, please prepare the following items from our migration checklist:

  • An active link to the administration area of your current host (for example, the login screen, wp-admin URL, etc.).
  • Your login credentials, including your username and password. For WordPress sites, ensure the account used has administrator rights.
  • A sufficient amount of disk space on your current host to accommodate the site during migration. You can check this information in your control panel.

Please note that our specialized team can also manage the migration of WordPress multisite setups. For more details on the prerequisites and additional steps, please consult our dedicated tutorial.

If you prefer to perform the migration manually, download the following:

  • Your site's files. Although the procedure may vary depending on your current host, the backup method is generally similar.
  • The database. For more details, refer to our guide on exporting a database via phpMyAdmin.

Ensure that both the files and the database are transferred to our platform during a manual migration, otherwise your site will not function properly. Once completed, make sure your domain name points to Ex2 so that your visitors can access your site.

Is it possible to transfer emails and domain names to Ex2 as well?

Absolutely. We recommend centralizing the management of your emails and domain names with Ex2 for simplicity.

If you own your domain name and it has been active for at least 60 days, follow our guide on transferring your domain name to Ex2. Once the transfer is validated, you can then migrate your email service.

When should I point my domain name to Ex2?

Your domain name should be pointed to Ex2 after your site has been migrated. We will notify you via email as soon as the transfer is successfully completed.

What types of sites are not compatible with migration to Ex2?

Sites built using closed-code website builders cannot be migrated to Ex2. Platforms such as Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, and others fall into this category.

In such cases, it might be advisable to start from scratch using the site builder offered by Ex2, which allows you to quickly create your site with AI while transferring the content from your old site.

How many sites can I migrate?

With the Ex2 plan that suits your needs, you can migrate an unlimited number of sites for free. Whether it's one site or several hundred, we're here to help.

For multiple migrations, please submit a separate request for each site.

How long does it take to migrate a site to Ex2?

The migration duration depends primarily on the type of site and the platform it was built on. For example, an automatic migration of a WordPress site is typically completed in under two hours. In contrast, a site hosted on cPanel and built with another open-source CMS (such as Laravel, PrestaShop, etc.) may take over 20 hours.

Should I notify my current host about the migration?

Generally, it is not necessary to inform your current host. However, make sure not to cancel your hosting service before the migration is fully completed.

Will my site remain accessible during the migration process?

Yes, your site will remain operational during the transfer, meaning you won't lose any visitors or sales. However, a short period of downtime may occur during DNS propagation after the migration.

What do I need to prepare to ensure a successful migration?

Before starting the migration, please ensure you have:

  • The source domain name of the site to be migrated.
  • The login URL to access your hosting account or your site's administration interface.
  • Your credentials (username and password) for accessing your hosting account or administration interface.
  • Sufficient disk space on your current host to proceed with the transfer. This information is usually available in your control panel.

Our migration team can also handle WordPress multisite migrations. For more details on the requirements and additional steps, please consult our guide.

If you perform the migration manually, remember to:

  • Download your site's files (the backup method is generally consistent across hosts).
  • Export the database (refer to our guide on exporting via phpMyAdmin).

After transferring the files and database to our platform, don't forget to point your domain name to Ex2 to ensure your site remains accessible.

Does Ex2 support other content management systems (CMS) besides WordPress?

Yes, our services are compatible with a wide range of CMS platforms, including Joomla, Backdrop CMS, ClassicPress, CMS Made Simple, Composr CMS, Concrete CMS, Drupal, GRAV, MODx, and PHP-Fusion.

We also support various programming languages and frameworks such as HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, Laravel, and many more.
