Can I transfer my existing server to Endercloud?
Yes, here's how the migration works and what to prepare.
Short Answer
Yes. We migrate Minecraft, ARK, Rust, and most game servers from any host to Endercloud, often for free.
What We Migrate
- World files / saves
- Plugin & mod folders
- Player data (whitelist, ops, banlist)
- Configs
- Custom configs and scheduled tasks (recreated)
What You Need to Provide
- SFTP / FTP credentials for your current host, OR
- A full backup `.zip` uploaded to your new Endercloud panel
How to Request a Migration

- 3Include your current host's SFTP details (or attach the zip)
- 4We'll schedule a window with you (usually within 24 hours)

Usual downtime: 15ā60 minutes depending on world size.
