FastMigrate – Direct Server-to-Server Site Transfer Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
FastMigrate moves a WordPress site between hosts, servers, or environments – no downloads, no uploads.
It connects your two WordPress sites directly, server-to-server, so your data moves between the two hosts at full data-center speed and never touches your browser or your local disk.
At a glance:
- Typical sites migrate in 1-3 minutes
- HMAC-signed, expiring keys (24-hour TTL)
- One-click rollback until you confirm
- Full site clone (database + files)
- Works on managed, shared, VPS, dedicated – any host with PHP 7.4+
- Completely free
How it works
- Install FastMigrate on both the source site (the one you’re moving) and the destination site (the new host).
- On the source site: click Prepare Migration. The plugin backs up the whole site – database, plugins, themes, and uploads – into checksummed archives.
- Copy the key that appears once preparation is complete.
- On the destination site: paste the key and click Start Migration. The destination pulls every archive straight from the source, imports the database, rewrites URLs safely, and activates the migrated site.
- Verify, then confirm. Until you confirm, a one-click Rollback instantly restores your previous site.
Key features
- Fast – data moves directly between hosts at full data-center speed, never through your browser.
- Native acceleration – automatic use of native database export, native archive tools, and parallel transfers where available, with safe fallbacks everywhere else.
- Chunked and resumable – works within shared-hosting time limits; slow or restricted hosts won’t stall the job.
- True full-site clone – database (including custom tables), all plugins, themes, uploads, and root files (.htaccess excluded by default for safety).
- Safe by default – wp-config.php itself, WordPress core files, .git, and vendor/node_modules are never touched on the destination.
- Automatic URL & path rewriting – including serialized PHP data and page-builder JSON.
- One-click Rollback – previous site kept safely aside until confirmation; nothing deleted until then.
- HMAC-signed transfers – backups are never publicly downloadable; keys expire after 24 hours or can be revoked manually.
- Exclusions – skip heavy folders, specific root files, or database tables.
- WP-CLI support –
wp hostwpio-fm backup,wp hostwpio-fm migrate <key>,wp hostwpio-fm status. - Clean uninstall – removes every folder, file, and database table it created.
Privacy
FastMigrate does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external services.
- No tracking – no analytics, no telemetry, no phone-home.
- No third-party servers – your site data travels directly from your source host to your destination host, server-to-server.
- No user data collection – the plugin only accesses your own WordPress site files and database for migration purposes.
- Keys are ephemeral – migration keys auto-expire after 24 hours and can be revoked manually at any time.
- Local processing only – all data processing happens on your own servers; HostWP.io never sees your site content.
