Go to the Migrations Requests page, locate the request in question, and delete it:

Common Issues

Here is a list of the most common reasons why a migration could not be completed and how to solve them before editing the request:

Issue

Solution

Incorrect login details

Double-check that the website login URL and credentials (admin username and password) are correct

Two-factor authentication is enabled on your previous provider

Temporarily disable 2FA until the migration is completed

Domain is already pointing to Hostinger

Point your domain back to your previous hosting provider and wait a few hours for propagation

Insufficient disk space to create backups

Delete unnecessary files on your previous hosting provider, or upload your backup to a file sharing service and provide the link on the updated request

Websites already hosted at Hostinger are not eligible for this process. If your request was rejected for this reason, you do not need to edit or create a new request. Instead, you can consider manually moving your website to another hosting plan or Hostinger account.
