You’ll need:
* An account on the new web hosting service.
* A domain on the new host, with WordPress installed.
* The destination’s FTP/cPanel details(optional).
Migrate Guru requires an email address to send you updates on the migration process, notify you of any errors that occur during the migration.
Migrate Guru can move a 1 GB (files & database) site in <30 Mins*
(*Approximate & depends on a number of factors).
Yes. We’ve enforced a limit of 5 site migrations/user/month (developers can request to have this limit extended). This cap ensures that our servers aren’t overburdened. Each of the 5 sites can be moved unlimited times.
No.
Yes.
Yes.
Migrate Guru requires FTP/cPanel details primarily as a fallback. The plugin generally doesn’t need these details, relying instead on Migration-key based migration. However, in cases where this primary method encounters issues, the plugin uses FTP/cPanel details as an alternative to ensure a seamless migration.
When installed on a WordPress multi-site network, the plugin automatically becomes ‘network activated’. Once this is done you can go by the same steps as a single site.
Yes, we do. You can access it here: https://migrateguru.freshdesk.com/support/home

Everything you could ask for in a simple to use site migration tool.
A little slow but 100% accurate
By Terence Milbourn (PubDirLtd) on October 2, 2026
I have to migrate three websites to the same server and I chose Migrate Guru to do the job. I moved the first site, and I am very pleased with the result. I will use this plugin again the next time I have to migrate a site. Everything works as described.
Worked like a charm

After series of trial with some other tools, this plugin help to migrate my website seamlessly without any download or upload. No upgrade plan is needed to get started. It was 100% FREE. I simply connected both old and new site and hit the migration button and the magic happened. I am ever happy for this level of ingenuity. Keep it up guys!
