Key belongs to this site

[daniel87Participant]

I purchased the Business subscription, last night to migrate three sites from GoDaddy to a different hosting service.

All three sites had the same issue. I created the key, applied it to the appropriate sending site and was told in an error message for each site that the key was for that site.

What am I missing on this process? I have a half dozen more to migrate and do not want to spend the time downloading backups, uploading them, again, to the new server then restoring them. The largest site I need to migrate is over 7GB in photos.

Hi,

Are you attempting to migrate the sites without changing the URLs for the sites?

If so, I’m afraid that the direct site-to-site migration method will not work. You will need to use one of the alternative transfer methods to move the backups to the new hosting.

These can be found in Step 3 of our migration guide:

We also have a guide on changing hosts:
