Migrate Website & Services to OVHcloud
Switching to a new host is easier than you think. OVHcloud offers fast, secure, and affordable hosting with global reach. In this guide, you’ll learn how to move your website, email, and domain to OVHcloud step by step, without downtime.
Overview of OVHcloud
OVHcloud offers fast, secure, and eco-friendly cloud hosting, dedicated servers, and scalable solutions. With global data centers and predictable pricing, it ensures performance, trust, and data sovereignty for businesses of all sizes.
Step 1: Get your OVHcloud hosting plan
Choose a plan that fits your site. After you place the order, OVHcloud sends you an email with FTP login details to manage your files.
Step 2: Set up a DNS zone
Sign in to the OVHcloud Control Panel and create a DNS zone for your domain. This ensures your site stays online during the transfer.

Step 3: Back up your old website
Save a copy of all your website files and database from your current host. For databases, you can export with:
mysqldump -u user -p dbname > site_backup.sqlStep 4: Upload your site to OVHcloud
Connect via FTP (e.g., FileZilla) and upload the files to the www folder in OVHcloud. If your backup is zipped, unzip it first before uploading.
Step 5: Create and link a new database
Import your backup and create a new database in your OVHcloud panel:
mysql -u newuser -p newdb < site_backup.sqlUpdate your site’s config file with the new login details so it connects to the database correctly.
Boost your site’s performance with an OVHcloud domain transfer.
Step 6: Move your email accounts
Recreate your email accounts in OVHcloud. Then update the MX records at your DNS provider:
@ IN MX 1 mx1.mail.ovh.net
@ IN MX 5 mx2.mail.ovh.net
@ IN MX 100 mx3.mail.ovh.netThis step makes sure new emails arrive in your OVHcloud inbox.
Step 7: Transfer your domain
When your website and emails are working fine, unlock your domain with your current registrar. Use the transfer code (EPP/AuthCode) to move it to OVHcloud. After DNS changes finish spreading, your site and email will fully run on OVHcloud.
Keep your services online using OVHcloud Failover IP configuration.
