What are you moving?
Each guide covers what to bring across, in what order, and how to check it before your visitors see it.
How a migration goes
Back up what you have
Start with a copy of your files and databases, kept somewhere separate.
Move your data
Copy it onto a new Arct Cloud server sized to match what you use today.
Check it works
Open the new server yourself and confirm everything behaves before your visitors reach it.
Switch your domain
Point your domain at the new server. The old one stays available as a fallback.
Stuck at any point?
Support is available 24/7 through the ticket system. Tickets are handled by infrastructure engineers, and the same engineer follows a thread until it is closed. Engineers can read your server logs to help with migration and setup.
Migration questions
Deploy a server, copy your files and databases onto it, check that everything works, then point your domain at the new server. The guides walk through each step for Linux, Windows Server, and WordPress.
Read the migration guidesYour current server keeps running until you point your domain at the new one. Preparing your domain settings a day ahead brings the switch down to a few minutes. Keep the old server running afterward as a fallback.
Copy your files and databases onto a fresh server instead. A cloned disk brings settings matched to your old provider's hardware, so it often will not start correctly here.
It depends on how much data you have and how many applications are involved. A single site with one database is often finished within an hour. Larger setups take longer, and you can move them one piece at a time.

Contact supportYes. Your sites, databases, and scheduled jobs move across. Windows Server images run on plans with 2 or more vCPU and deploy in 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the image size.
Windows Server guideExport your site's files and database from your current host, import them onto the new server, then update the stored site address. The guide covers the WordPress steps that a plain file copy leaves behind.
