However, this knowledge is required of the person who carries out this process. Fortunately, that person doesn&#8217;t have to be you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_86 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/knowledgebase\/do-i-need-technical-knowledge-to-migrate-a-service\/#Who_can_migrate\" >Who can migrate?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/knowledgebase\/do-i-need-technical-knowledge-to-migrate-a-service\/#How_much_does_it_cost_for_a_web_hosting_company_to_migrate\" >How much does it cost for a web hosting company to migrate?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/knowledgebase\/do-i-need-technical-knowledge-to-migrate-a-service\/#What_if_I_have_more_pages_and_migration_boxes\" >What if I have more pages and migration boxes?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_can_migrate\"><\/span>Who can migrate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can migrate yourself if you have sufficient technical knowledge. You can also outsource it to a new hosting provider. Such companies have entire migration teams, so they will quickly move your websites and mail while you drink coffee in peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"mybox-1519504284\" class=\"mybox-content mybox-entity-placement\"><div class=\"early-access-banner-inpost\">\r\n  <div class=\"banner-left-inpost\">\r\n    <div class=\"icon-box-inpost\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/square-info-icon.svg\" alt=\"Info\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"text-box-inpost\">\r\n      <span class=\"label-inpost\"><span class=\"translation-block translation-block-banner-text\">Early access<\/span><\/span>\r\n      <h4><span class=\"translation-block translation-block-banner-text\">Still need help?<\/span><\/h4>\r\n      <p><span class=\"translation-block translation-block-banner-text\">Contact our customer service team.<\/span><\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"banner-right-inpost\">\r\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/panel.mybox.com\/helpdesk2\/v\/list\/\" class=\"banner-button-inpost\"><span class=\"translation-block translation-block-banner-text\">Message us<\/span><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"translation-block translation-block-merged\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you know the IT industry and know how to migrate, you may simply not have the time to do so. This is also when the migration team of the new service provider will come to your aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In both cases, your only obligation will be to report the willingness to migrate, provide the necessary data and agree on a date for the transfer with the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_it_cost_for_a_web_hosting_company_to_migrate\"><\/span>How much does it cost for a web hosting company to migrate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How much it costs to migrate depends on the host you intend to transfer your service to. Most companies offer their customers migration of a certain number of websites and mailboxes. However, this doesn&#8217;t mean that if you own more sites, you&#8217;ll have to move them on your own. All you have to do is ask for a quote for such a service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In mybox.com, as an additional addon we migrate up to 15 websites and 30 e-mail boxes.<\/strong> All you have to do is send us a correctly completed <a href=\"https:\/\/move-to.mybox.com\"><strong>migration form<\/strong><\/a>. Our team will evaluate the data provided and set the fastest possible migration date for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_if_I_have_more_pages_and_migration_boxes\"><\/span>What if I have more pages and migration boxes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of our customers are satisfied with our offer when they change their hosting provider.
