Overview

This article describes the various ways you can move from DreamPress to another hosting plan.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, make sure you have already purchased the hosting plan you'd like to move to, such as a Shared, VPS, or Dedicated Hosting.

How to move from a DreamPress plan

The following sections explain how to move from a DreamPress hosting plan to another plan.

Downgrading to Shared Starter

If you would like to downgrade from a DreamPress plan to a Shared Starter hosting plan, make sure you fall within the limitations described in the Adding a Shared Starter hosting plan article. If you would like to proceed, Contact Support to request this.

Moving to another hosting plan

Your DreamPress plan will be deleted 5 days after you move it. If you wish to keep your DreamPress plan and just copy your site, view the Copy Existing Site option in this article.

  1.  Navigate to the Manage Websites page.
  2. Click the Manage button to open the Domain Settings page, which allows you to adjust various settings for your site.
    • If in Grid view, click the Manage button at the bottom of the website box.
    • If in List view, click the Manage button at the far right of your domain name.
  3. Select the Hosting tab at the top.
    Your DreamPress plan displays.
  4. Click the Change Plan button.
    The DreamPress plans page opens.
  5. Scroll down to the bottom and click the Migrate off DreamPress button.
    A popup displays.
  6. Select your Shared, VPS, or Dedicated Hosting plan from the dropdown menu.
  7. Click the Migrate off DreamPress button.

Do I need to remove any other files or plugins?

When you move from DreamPress, any DreamPress specific code (such as the Nginx Helper Plugin) is removed from your WordPress site.
