Server Migration FAQ
Why do I have to migrate my server?
We’re always looking for ways to improve the user experience, with one being these migrations. Requiring you and others alike to migrate servers is necessary for this goal – as you’re more equipped with tools for better changes / performance. Due to our decision, those who do not migrate themselves will automatically be transferred to Apex Hosting by our team.
How long does the migration process take?
Migrating one server could take several minutes to hours, depending on the size of your files. This becomes amplified when transferring multiple servers. Check the status of your migration by visiting the new Apex panel.
Are my server files safe during migration?
Yes, absolutely! These migrations transfer all server files to Apex Hosting, while also verifying that each one was successfully moved. Nothing should be missing after migrating the server.
Does my dedicated server IP and/or subdomain migrate too?
Subdomains are entirely transferred, while dedicated IPs are moved when possible. This depends on the space and hardware of where your server is being sent.
Does my billing information transfer too?
No, your billing details and subscriptions don’t migrate to Apex Hosting – only the server.
