One command. Every file, database, service, SSL cert, and cron job transferred over an encrypted tunnel. Your source server stays completely untouched.
From first connection to verified and live. The entire migration is automated — you just watch.
Enter your server's IP and credentials. We establish an encrypted SSH tunnel to your source — nothing leaves unprotected. Credentials are discarded the moment migration ends.
Our scanner maps your entire server in seconds — OS, hardware, disk, every running service and database. No manual inventory. We even recommend the best matching plan.
Choose your plan and region. The scanner already recommends the perfect match, but you're free to upgrade or pick a region closer to your users. Deploy instantly.
Every file, database, config, cron job, and SSL certificate moves over an encrypted pipe. Live progress tracking shows exactly what's happening. Your source stays live the entire time.
Every service is health-checked on the new server. DNS is updated, SSL certificates validated, and only when every check passes do we mark the migration complete. You're live.
Not just files — your entire server stack is replicated exactly as-is.
All user data, web roots, configs, and home directories transferred with exact permissions preserved.
MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis — full data dumps and restores with schema integrity intact.
nginx, Apache, PHP-FPM, Node.js, PM2, Docker containers — every running service detected and restored.
All TLS/SSL certificates and private keys are securely transferred and validated on the new server.
Scheduled tasks and crontabs are detected, migrated, and verified running on the new server.
Server configurations, environment variables, firewall rules, and package lists — all replicated.
Any Linux server with SSH access. Any provider. Any distribution.
Switched from DigitalOcean. The migration tool moved 3 production apps, 2 databases, and all configs in under 4 minutes. Zero downtime. Saving $180/month now.
No. Your source server stays live throughout the entire migration. We only switch DNS after you've confirmed everything is working on the new server. There is zero downtime.
Nothing. We use read-only access to copy data. Your source server is never modified, deleted, or overwritten. Keep it running as a fallback until you're fully satisfied.
Most migrations complete in under 5 minutes. Larger servers with multiple databases or 100+ GB of data may take 10-20 minutes depending on network speed.
Any Linux distribution with SSH access — Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Fedora, and more. Windows servers are not currently supported.
Yes. Migration is included at no extra cost with every PrivateByte plan. No hidden fees, no premium migration tiers, no limits on how many times you migrate.
Your source server is never touched, so you can always fall back. If any service verification fails, we flag it immediately and you can retry or contact our support team for hands-on help.
Start your migration now. Your source stays live, your data stays safe, and you'll be running on faster hardware in minutes.
