A good impression that is! I don’t think that I’ve ever had such a seamless migration experience… It was quick too! Good job on working through everything involved in a migration and making it so easy that a kid could actually do this. Awesome plugin.

I need to PAY for someone to tell me what to do. Not reasonable since the help and support people told me to use this feature to begin with <sigh.

I have tried to use this plugin so many times, with so many different websites, and never once have I ever had this be successful. I always end up manually migrating sites.

My first site migration I did with the plugin UpDraft Plus, but this migration tool works much better! Love the ease of use and speed that it works.

This is one of the main reasons for me going with SG, but I find myself transferring manually more and more.
Garbage.

I’ve used this plugin a couple of times in the last week. It went perfectly both times.

Just started using this plugin and so far so good. It is user friendly and definitely hassle free. If things change I will add a new review.

I really love how easy siteground makes the process of transferring your site between hosts. Thank you for saving me time SiteGround!

Great tool. A little funky at times, but it works. I had a few sites where I initiated a migration… The plugin pops a message saying that the migration started, but it doesn’t display the file transfer graphic to watch the files go over, it simply goes back to the page that you’d start on. Where it asks for the token. So, no indication at all. But….. if you wait…. the site will show up on the other side. Patience is the key. I literally just watched this happen, there was probably a 10 minute delay, but I then watched files populating under public_html. Then, boom, I was able to login to wp_admin. The reason for 4 stars. otherwise, it’s a 5.

I’ve been working with WordPress since about 2007 and I’ve tried a lot of plugins and methods of transfer. I can do it all manually, but this is a great plugin from the best web host. Highly recommend the Siteground and their plugin for easy site transfers.

I appreciate Siteground’s tools that help me manage and build my websites. The migrator worked GREAT!

I just used it to transfer 7 sites. It works about half the time. The other half, it’s unclear. It freezes and never finishes. Then support says it’s finished but the logs show it’s froze and everyone is left confused. So I don’t know where we are at with this migration but it certainly hasn’t been as “easy” as they say this plugin is. I’d say if you have over 1,000 files, you’re going to have a bad time with this plugin.

This plugin has been very helpful. I’ve been able to migrate my sites with no issues. The only thing better would be to be able to migrate all of them at once.

I’ve used this many times now. I keep a template on a sub domain so I can just set up a site with all my plugins installed in minutes. Works perfectly every time.

I use this plug in all the time, almost every time I take over an existing WordPress site and need to move it. Works every single time, never once had an issue. I’ve moved a lot of sites with this plugin, it’s awesome!

The plugin works only for small sites with small files. It has no parameters so you can for example exclude some big files, all error messages are displayed only for a quick while so if you are not sitting at it, you don’t know what is the problem. The trasfer takes looooong hours, sometimes half a day or more. It is better to do it by yourself – create an empty site and use backup plugin to do the work.

I had no issues. Entire site moved over in exactly 8 min in total. Thats much quicker than manually moving files and SQL db and editing all the files after moving. Fantastic tool. Sit back and watch it go! Love it. Have used on 20 sites now. Worked perfect every time. This is one of the most useful plugins I have used. They should give an award for it.

SiteGround site to SiteGround site – followed directions to the letter. Gave it two tries. Both resulted in poor results until I reworked settings in the WP Admin panel.

I have never left a review on here but I had to this time. This migrator with Site Ground is seamless, quick, and dependable. I switched to Site Ground hosting recently and have migrated about 7 websites with essentially a click of a button. Love it!

I tried using the plugin and system to migrate a site from Dreamhost. Although the process seems to be simple and Siteground offers good support, the reality is that it does not work. At least with the aforementioned hosting.
I did a couple of tests and an additional one with the guidance of a SIteground support agent, however the process stops without throwing any error notification.
The agent gave me a special path to be able to consult the log and know what happened (it is not a path that can be consulted directly in the plugin interface) /wp-content/siteground-migrator.log
The log showed this on the 2 attempts after the first failed attempt:
[18-Jan-2024 01:23:25 UTC] INFO: Transfer started. Creating archives of files…
[18-Jan-2024 01:23:25 UTC] INFO: Updating transfer id.
[18-Jan-2024 01:23:25 UTC] INFO: Updating transfer psk.
[18-Jan-2024 01:23:28 UTC] INFO: Site domain to be changed to domain.com/
There the migration process gets stuck and nothing happens. I hope they can review it and correct it, at least so that it notifies to the admin that the process has stopped since I wasted more than 12 hours without knowing anything. I don’t rule out that Dreamhost has intentionally blocked this service.
It’s a shame as it seems to be a promising plugin.
