This guide describes how to transfer hosted content to Plesk Obsidian using the Plesk Migrator and Site Import extensions. It is intended for the following users:

  • Hosting administrators migrating content from other platforms to Plesk.

  • Customers and resellers importing websites and/or mail accounts from other servers to Plesk.

Supported Source Hosting Platforms

Plesk Migrator supports migration from the following source platforms:

  • Plesk 8.6 and later (Linux and Windows)

  • cPanel 11.5 and later

  • Confixx 3.3

  • Helm 3.2

  • Plesk Expand 2.3.2

  • Parallels Pro Control Panel for Linux 10.3.6

  • DirectAdmin 1.51 (when migrating from DirectAdmin installed on Ubuntu 10.x, only custom migration is supported)

What Data Are Transferred

Plesk Migrator transfers:

  • Service plans.

  • Subscriptions with all associated domains.

  • Websites with content — files, mail, databases, and more.

  • Extensions and extension settings (when you migrate from Plesk).

  • Admin settings (when you migrate from Plesk).

  • Mail settings (when you migrate from Plesk).

Plesk Migrator does not transfer the following items:

  • Reseller and customer accounts that do not have any domains are not transferred.

  • Plesk service settings — installed PHP handlers, Fail2Ban settings, ModSecurity settings, firewall settings, and more.

Note: You cannot choose to migrate individual domains. Only individual subscriptions can be chosen for migration, and they are migrated together with all associated domains.
