Hostney Migration connects your WordPress site to the Hostney hosting platform so the Hostney worker can pull your database and files automatically. No SSH access, FTP credentials, or manual exports required. Your source site stays fully operational throughout the process.
How it works:
<ol>
<li>Generate a migration token in your <a href="https://www.hostney.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Hostney control panel</a></li>
<li>Install this plugin on your source WordPress site</li>
<li>Go to Tools > Hostney Migration and paste the token</li>
<li>Click “Start migration” in the Hostney control panel</li>
<li>The worker pulls your database and files automatically</li>
</ol>
What gets migrated:
<ul>
<li>All database tables (exported row-by-row with primary key pagination)</li>
<li>All WordPress files (transferred in chunks with checksum verification)</li>
<li>File permissions and directory structure</li>
</ul>
What gets excluded automatically:
<ul>
<li>Cache directories</li>
<li>Log files</li>
<li>Backup plugin directories (UpdraftPlus, All-in-One WP Migration, etc.)</li>
<li>Node modules and .git directories</li>
</ul>
Security:
All requests from the Hostney worker are authenticated using HMAC-SHA256 signatures with timestamp validation and replay protection. Tokens are cleared automatically when the plugin is deactivated.
<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
This plugin sends the following data to Hostney servers (api.hostney.com) when you click Connect:
<ul>
<li>Your site URL and REST API URL</li>
<li>WordPress version</li>
<li>PHP version</li>
<li>Number of database tables and total database size</li>
<li>Number of files and total file size</li>
<li>Active theme name and active plugin count</li>
</ul>
This data is used solely to register and plan the migration. No file contents, database rows, passwords, or personal data are transmitted during the connection step.
During an active migration (initiated from the Hostney control panel), the Hostney worker connects to your site’s REST API endpoints to read database tables and files. All requests are authenticated with HMAC-SHA256 signatures. Data is transferred over HTTPS.

⚠️ It is strongly recommended to create a backup of both source and destination sites before exporting and importing content.
<h4>What it does</h4>
The BasePress Migration tools generates a xml file to import all knowledge base data to a new site. 
It will also update the links to any media files and internal links with the new site domain.
