But one of the biggest reasons? We make switching simple.

We’ll Move Your Server for Free

When you switch to Kinetic Hosting, we offer free, full-service server migration. That includes:

• Worlds, maps, plugins, mods, configs — everything

• No need to manually upload/download files

• Minimal downtime

• No technical expertise required

You just open a ticket and give us access. We’ll take care of the rest.

How to Start the Migration

Ready to move? Just follow these steps:

Step 1: Choose a Hosting Plan

Pick the right plan for your server from our Game Hosting page. If you're unsure which one to choose, our support team can help.

Step 2: Open a Support Ticket

After signing up, go to our billing panel and open a ticket. Choose the category:
“Server Migration Request”

You can also request a migration through our Discord or via live chat.

Please include:

• The name of your current host

• Access credentials (SFTP or control panel)

• Any details about your server (game, mods, plugins, map size, etc.)

All information is handled securely by trained staff.

Step 3: Sit Back and Relax

Our migration team will begin transferring your files and settings. We’ll keep you updated along the way and confirm everything is working before you're fully switched over.

How Long Does It Take?

Most migrations are completed within a few hours. Larger servers may take more time depending on size and speed limits from your previous host.

We typically schedule migrations during off-peak hours to reduce potential downtime.

Will Anything Break or Go Missing?

No. We migrate:

• Game files and maps/worlds

• Plugins or mods

• Configuration files and permissions

• Logs and backups (if applicable)

We also test and verify your server is running smoothly post-migration. If any fine-tuning is needed, we’re here to help.
