The whole process takes about five minutes.
Can I run multiple Habari sites on one plan?

Does HostPapa offer free migration if I'm moving from another Habari host?
Yes. HostPapa includes a fully managed, free website migration service with all plans. Our team transfers your Habari files, database, and domain settings with no downtime. You don't need to do anything manually.
