You may need:

  • your FTP, SFTP, or SSH credentials
  • your primary domain
  • any redirect domains
  • any HTTP authentication credentials, if the site is protected

  2. Go to the Websites overview screen.
  3. Click the Migration drop-down action button.
  4. Select Migration Request.

The Website Migration Request screen opens.

Complete the migration request form

The migration request form asks for the information our team needs to access, review, and migrate your WordPress site.

Depending on your current host, this may be FTP, SFTP, or SSH access.
