Troubleshooting

If you see an error message after entering your credentials please ensure that these are correct, if you believe that these are correct but are still encountering errors then feel free to contact us by opening a support ticket.

Limitations and Considerations

Currently, there are some limitations to the Migration Center that you will need to be aware of before beginning your migration process. 

  • Accounts larger than 30GB cannot be migrated through the Migration Center, due to the excessive strain the restore process places on the servers themselves
  • It is currently not possible to migrate the 'Primary' domain / account of your reseller
  • You cannot migrate accounts in between our own servers

If you require migration assistance for any of the above, then feel free to reach out to our support team who would be happy to help.
