Marathon Migration is the official plugin for moving your WordPress site to <a href="https://marathonhosting.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Marathon Hosting</a>. It handles everything automatically — your files, database, themes, plugins, and media — so you arrive on Marathon Hosting with a complete, working copy of your site.
No FTP. No cPanel. No manual database exports. No downtime on your current site.
How to migrate:
<ol>
<li>Log in to your Marathon Hosting account and generate a migration token from your site’s overview page</li>
<li>Install and activate this plugin on your current WordPress site</li>
<li>Go to Marathon Migration in your WordPress admin and paste your token</li>
<li>Click Start Migration — most sites complete in 2–10 minutes</li>
</ol>
That’s it. Your current site stays online the entire time.
What gets transferred:
<ul>
<li>Your complete database</li>
<li>All WordPress core files (your exact version — no forced upgrades)</li>
<li>All themes, plugins, uploads, and media</li>
<li>Must-use plugins</li>
</ul>
What does not transfer:
<ul>
<li>Server-specific configuration files — your new Marathon Hosting environment provides its own</li>
<li>Cache files and cache plugin output — these are rebuilt fresh on your new server</li>
<li>Log files and backup archives created by other plugins</li>
<li>Host-specific platform code from your previous host — these belong to your old host, not your site</li>
<li>The migration plugin itself — automatically removed after a successful transfer</li>
</ul>
What is not supported:
WordPress multisite installs are not currently supported. If the plugin detects a multisite network it will refuse to start the migration with a clear error before any data is transferred. Contact Marathon Hosting support if you need to migrate a multisite network.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the Marathon Hosting Gateway to coordinate your site migration. This service is required — without it the plugin cannot validate your migration token or connect your current site to your new Marathon Hosting environment.
The Gateway is contacted only after you paste a token and click Start Migration. No data is sent before you explicitly begin.
This service is operated by Marathon Hosting:

<h4>SiteGround Migrator: the easiest way to move your site to SiteGround</h4>
This plugin is designed to automate the transfer of a WordPress instance to a SiteGround hosting account. It can’t be used to transfer a WordPress instance to another hosting provider.
Important: This solution is not suitable for migrating localhost WordPress sites or for Full Multisite installations (separate Multisite blogs are fine).
<h4>How to Use</h4>
First, you need to get a transfer token from your SiteGround account. You can do this through the WordPress Migrator tool located in the WordPress section of your SiteGround hosting control panel.
Once you select the domain name that you want to initiate the transfer for, our system will generate a transfer token for you.Paste the token in your SiteGround Migrator plugin and press Initiate Transfer. That’s all!

With all other ISPs I will only set up Wordpress migrations manually - upload files, revise the DB to match the final url, upload data to the new home, update permalinks if necessary. Just recently I decided to give SiteGround's migration plugin a try. And ohmygosh is it simple and non-intrusive and perfect. Nice work, y'all.


I normally HATE giving up full control, but...


Has never worked for me, even when moving from one SG account to another. Have tried it on maybe half a dozen sites.


Never worked


Thank you SiteGround for such a brilliant plugin - it makes launching new websites so smooth and easy, and we love teaching our DIY website students how to use this plugin when they launch their beautiful new websites!


Makes launching so smooth!


Solo una de cada 10 transferencias funcionó.



useful and necessary plugin for beginners and not only

Every time I use this, and I've used it a dozen times or more, I have to double and triple check which site is the source and which site is the destination. The documentation does not make it clear, and it's easy to make a mistake. Getting it wrong will wipe your existing site and replace it with the blank site you're attempting to migrate it to. There's no reason why they are unable to explain their own product in plain English, using simple words like FROM and TO.


Terrifyingly vague

Transfer your WordPress website to SiteGround without any hassle in a completely automated way using SiteGround Migrator.
