Peace of mind
Backup and restore
Automatic, reliable, and granular. Restore what you need, when you need it.
Daily automated backups
Your files and databases are backed up automatically every day. Backups run on geographically independent backup servers, not on your hosting server.
14-day retention
Backups are kept for 14 days, giving you two weeks of restore points. Enough time to catch issues even if you don't notice them immediately.
Granular restore
Restore individual files, specific directories, or single databases. No need to roll back everything when you only need one file.
One-click full restore
Need everything back? Restore your entire account - files, databases, and configuration - with a single click from the dashboard.
Backup downloads
Download any backup snapshot to your local machine. Files are prepared on cloud storage with a secure link that expires in 24 hours.
WordPress migration
Two ways to move your sites
Whether your current host gives you SSH access or not, we have a migration method that works. No manual file transfers, no database exports, no downtime.
Plugin migration
No server access needed
Install our WordPress plugin on your current site, generate a migration token in the Hostney control panel, and the plugin handles the rest. Works with any WordPress host, including shared hosting with no SSH access.
SSH migration
Direct server transfer
Provide SSH credentials for your source server and our tool connects directly. It auto-discovers WordPress installations, transfers files and databases, and configures everything on Hostney automatically.
Plugin migration
Move from any host, no SSH required
Install our WordPress plugin on your current site and let it handle the transfer. No SSH, no FTP, no manual exports.
Generate a migration token
Create a migration token in the Hostney control panel. This connects your source site to your new Hostney account securely.
Install the plugin
Download the Hostney Migration plugin and install it on your WordPress site. Enter the token and the plugin connects automatically.
Watch the transfer happen
The plugin pulls your database tables and files over REST API with real-time progress tracking. Pause and resume anytime during the transfer.
Why plugin migration
Works on shared hosting
No SSH or server access required. If you can install a WordPress plugin, you can migrate.
Pause and resume
Pause the migration mid-transfer and resume later. No need to start over.
Real-time progress
See database tables, files transferred, and bytes moved as it happens.
REST API transfer
No FTP, no zip files. Everything transfers securely over HTTPS.
Ideal for shared hosting, managed WordPress hosts, or any environment where SSH access is unavailable.
Complete transfer
What gets migrated
Both migration methods transfer everything you need. Your site works on Hostney exactly as it did on your old host.
All WordPress files
Themes, plugins, uploads, and core files. Everything in your web root is transferred.
MySQL databases
Your database is exported and imported with a new user and credentials configured automatically in wp-config.php.
Automatic wp-config.php update
Database connection details are updated automatically. No manual editing required.
Migration history
Every migration is logged with searchable history. Review what was transferred and when.
You can run up to 2 migrations at the same time. Migrate to any subdomain, even without an existing WordPress installation.
SSH migration
Direct transfer for full server access
Provide your source server's SSH credentials and our tool handles everything else. Auto-discovery, file transfer, and database import.
Enter SSH credentials
Provide your source server's SSH details. We support password, private key, and public key authentication methods.
Select your WordPress installation
Our tool scans the source server and auto-discovers WordPress installations. Use the interactive file browser or enter the path manually.
Automatic transfer and setup
Files, databases, and wp-config.php are transferred and configured automatically. Track progress with real-time log streaming.
Why SSH migration
Auto-discovery
The tool finds WordPress installations on your server automatically. No need to know the exact path.
Three auth methods
Password, private key, or public key authentication. Whatever your server supports.
Interactive file browser
Browse the source server's filesystem to select the right WordPress installation.
Real-time logs
Stream migration logs as they happen. See exactly what's being transferred.
Best for VPS, dedicated servers, or any host where you have SSH access to the server.
Did you know
Your websites are protected by behavioral bot detection
Every Hostney server runs built-in behavioral bot detection with 20+ scoring signals, proof-of-work challenges, and cross-server bans. Malicious traffic is stopped before it can compromise your sites or waste your resources.
Origin-level protection
Bot detection runs on the server itself, catching threats that bypass CDN filters or serving as the first line of defense.
WordPress-aware
Brute force login protection, WooCommerce-safe rate limiting, and wp-admin specific rules built into every server.
No plugins needed
Protection runs at the server level, not inside WordPress. No performance overhead, no plugin conflicts, nothing to configure.
Always protected
Every plan, every feature
Daily automated backups, both migration methods, and the full suite of WordPress tools are included in every Hostney plan. No add-ons, no extra charges.
