How to migrate to Plesk?
Answer
It is possible to migrate directly to Plesk 12.5 or Plesk Onyx from
- any older Plesk versions
- other control panels
- any other hosting environment
Migration to older Plesk versions is not recommended, as the Plesk Migrator extension introduced in Plesk 12.5 has many benefits and extended functionality compared to previous versions of migrator tools (PMM)

If your control panel is the list of supported Panels for migration for 12.5, or for Plesk Onyx , the migration can be initiated from Plesk GUI after installing the Plesk Migrator extension.
The list of supported for migration from panels is:
• cPanel 11.5
• Confixx 3.3
• Helm 3
• Expand 2.3.2 (migration via CLI)
• Pro Control Panel 10.3.6
• DirectAdmin 1.51
If your control panel is not in the list above, the migration option is not shown in Plesk GUI. In such case, the migration is also possible but it should be done using a script that generates description of the source server’s hosting objects in YAML/JSON format ( for Linux and for Windows ). For these types of migrations, migration with assistance is recommended. Any migration to Plesk process can be represented with 7 steps:
Details of each step can be found in Migration Process Guide that is available for download from Professional Services page.
