Step-by-step guides for moving a PHP app from another host to fortrabbit, one per host. Each one says where that host keeps the code, the settings, the database and the uploads, and how they get across.
Frequently asked #
Does fortrabbit offer a migration service?No, use an agent
No, use an agent - No. A coding agent connected to fortrabbit runs the move, following the guide for the old host and the fortrabbit agent skill. Support answers questions when something does not fit.
#Can a coding agent do the migration?Yes
Yes - Connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent to fortrabbit with one command, open the project folder and ask it to move the site, with a link to the guide for the old host. It needs SSH or panel access to the old host.
#Can the site be tested before the DNS switch?Yes
Yes - Every environment has a default domain with HTTPS. Deploy the code, copy the uploads and the database, and test there before changing any DNS records.
