Discuss in our Forum Discuss in SlackWelcome to Pantheon! We want to make it easy for you to move a site from another hosting provider to Pantheon. There are a few methods for migrating your site to Pantheon. Use the following instructions to migrate your site to the Pantheon platform.
Note
If you are moving a Drupal site and want to upgrade to the latest version of Drupal, use one of the following guides instead:
- Your site is Composer-managed: Migrate a Composer Managed Drupal Site from Another Platform or Import Drush Site Archives with Terminus
- Your site is not Composer-managed: Migrate a Drupal Site from Another Platform
Guided Migration
This method uses the Migrate Existing Site button on the User Dashboard and is the method described in this guide.
Migrate Manually
Use this process when any of the following apply:
General Scenarios
You want to debug a failed migration.
- It can be helpful to migrate your code, database, and files separately to help debug edge-cases that are not supported through guided migration.
The site or site archive is greater than 500MB.
Drupal-Specific Scenarios
The site uses Drush 9 or later (
drush ardis only available on Drush 8 and earlier).The site is managed with Composer.
