Migration from Other Hosting Platforms

If you have a server with a different hosting platform (for example, cPanel, Confixx, or other supported solution) and want to switch from this platform to Plesk, you should migrate all hosting data from this server (source) to your Plesk server (destination server).

Plesk 12.5 supports migration from the following platforms:

To migrate data from another hosting solution, we recommend that you use the Migration & Transfer Manager utility. To install the Migration & Transfer Manager, go to Tools & Settings > Updates and Upgrades. The Plesk Installer web interface will open in a new window or tab. In the Installer window, click Add Components, select the checkbox corresponding to the Migration & Transfer Manager component, and click Continue.

Before running the utility, you should perform a number of preparation steps which may vary depending on your source platform. For the detailed instructions on how to perform migration, refer to the chapter Migrating to Plesk of the Deployment Guide.
