Common Issues
Here is a list of the most common reasons why a migration could not be completed and how to solve these issues:
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 account, 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.
