If you migrate your web from a different service provider to Active24, you can use our automatic migration tool to transfer the content of your web. This tool allows automatic migration of FTP content, e-mails and databases.
FTP Migration
If you need to copy a folder on FTP on ours or external servers, you can use our Migrator. All you need to do is fill all required details to connect to the FTP account and select the target directory, where you want to copy your data. After the migration is requested, it will be set for processing. The processing might take some time – in matter of minutes or hours, depending on the system load and size of your website. You can see the progress of the migration in the migration records (page requires refresh to update).
All you need to do is to log in to WebAdmin and select your domain in the Services. In the Web section select Migrator and click Start a new migration. This migrator is to be used to migrate FTP from your original hosting to our servers.
- Fill in the address of the original FTP server to FTP server
- use login of the original FTP server
- use password of the original FTP server
- Select directory path on the original FTP server from where you want to copy content
- Click on Continue
- Select path to director on our server, where you want content to be copied to
- Click Start import. The data will be copied to our server 1:1
Note
Please be mindful that migrating data from your original hosting to another does not guarantee the functionality of the website. You need to migrate the database and in most cases also edit the code of the web application itself as well.
E-mail migration
If you need to copy your mailbox located on ours or external servers, you can use our Migrator. All you need to do is fill all the required details to connect to your mail server and choose the mailbox, where you want to copy the original mailbox to. After the migration is requested, it will be set for processing. The processing might take time in matter of minutes or hours, depending on the system load and size of migrated mailbox. You can see the progress of the migration in the migration records (page requires refresh to update).
1. Click on the Migrator and then on Start a new migration
2. Fill in the mail server of your original provider
3. Fill in the connection port
4. Username to the mail server is your e-mail address
5. Fill in the password to your mailbox
In the second step choose your destination mailbox. You can choose to move the mailbox content to the existing mailbox or create a new one. To migrate to an existing mailbox, choose an address from the list. While migrating to a new mailbox, fill in new username and password to create the new mailbox.
Migration of the e-mail address is possible in bulk by CSV file.
Database migration
If you need to copy your database from external location or from another user account, you can use our Migrator. All you need to do is to fill all required information to connect to your original database and credentials to create your new database with the copied content. After the migration is requested, it will be set for processing. The processing might take time in matter of minutes or hours, depending on the system load before completion. You can see the progress of the migration in the migration records. (page requires refresh to update)

2. Fill in the original database server
3. Fill in connection port
4. Enter the database user login
5. Enter the password for the database
