If you wish to migrate your website to Hostinger, our migration team would be more than happy to do this for you for free! All you need to do is fill out a <a href="https://hpanel.hostinger.com/hosting/migrations" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">migration request</a> in your panel. You can find out more about it here: <a href="https://support.hostinger.com/en/articles/4455931-how-to-migrate-your-website-to-hostinger">How to Migrate Your Website to Hostinger</a>.

Alternatively, you can transfer your website manually. First, you will need to download a backup of your website's files from your current hosting.

Next, upload the files to our server. This can be easily done with our <a href="https://support.hostinger.com/en/articles/1869114-how-to-upload-backup-with-file-manager">File Manager</a>, or you can use an <a href="https://support.hostinger.com/ftp-file-manager/how-to-upload-backup-with-ftp">FTP client</a>.

If your website is using a database, you will need to complete these steps as well:

Backup the database on the old server by <a href="https://support.hostinger.com/en/articles/4529011-how-to-export-a-phpmyadmin-database">exporting it via phpMyAdmin</a>
