Wopisanje
Marathon Migration is the official plugin for moving your WordPress site to Marathon Hosting. It handles everything automatically — your files, database, themes, plugins, and media — so you arrive on Marathon Hosting with a complete, working copy of your site.
No FTP. No cPanel. No manual database exports. No downtime on your current site.
How to migrate:
- Log in to your Marathon Hosting account and generate a migration token from your site’s overview page
- Install and activate this plugin on your current WordPress site
- Go to Marathon Migration in your WordPress admin and paste your token
- Click Start Migration — most sites complete in 2–10 minutes
That’s it. Your current site stays online the entire time.
What gets transferred:
- Your complete database
- All WordPress core files (your exact version — no forced upgrades)
- All themes, plugins, uploads, and media
- Must-use plugins
What does not transfer:
- Server-specific configuration files — your new Marathon Hosting environment provides its own
- Cache files and cache plugin output — these are rebuilt fresh on your new server
- Log files and backup archives created by other plugins
- Host-specific platform code from your previous host — these belong to your old host, not your site
- The migration plugin itself — automatically removed after a successful transfer
What is not supported:
WordPress multisite installs are not currently supported. If the plugin detects a multisite network it will refuse to start the migration with a clear error before any data is transferred. Contact Marathon Hosting support if you need to migrate a multisite network.
External services
This plugin connects to the Marathon Hosting Gateway to coordinate your site migration. This service is required — without it the plugin cannot validate your migration token or connect your current site to your new Marathon Hosting environment.
The Gateway is contacted only after you paste a token and click Start Migration. No data is sent before you explicitly begin.
This service is operated by Marathon Hosting:

-
Do I need FTP or cPanel access?
-
No. Everything happens through the WordPress admin.
-
Will my WordPress version be upgraded?
-
No. Your exact WordPress version is transferred as-is. You can upgrade on your own schedule after going live on Marathon Hosting.
-
Will my site go down during the migration?
-
No. Your current site stays online throughout the entire process. The plugin only reads your data — it never modifies or deletes anything on your source site.
-
What if my site is large?
-
Large sites are fully supported. Data is pulled in batches rather than one giant archive, so very large sites transfer reliably. If a batch fails it retries automatically, and an interrupted migration can be resumed from where it stopped rather than starting over from scratch.
-
Does it support WordPress multisite?
-
Not yet. If the plugin detects a multisite install it will refuse to start with a clear error message. Please contact Marathon Hosting support if you need to migrate a multisite network.
-
Is my data secure during the transfer?
-
Yes. Transfers use a one-time token tied specifically to your Marathon Hosting account. Your database contents and credentials are never sent to Marathon Hosting’s coordination servers — the receiving server (your hosting account) connects directly to your site to pull your data. All credentials are wiped as soon as the migration completes or is cancelled.
-
Can I cancel a migration in progress?
-
Yes. Click Cancel Migration on the migration page. Your source site’s credentials are immediately removed and the receiving server stops pulling data.
-
Do I need to keep the browser tab open?
-
No. All transfers happen directly between your current server and the Marathon Hosting server. You can close the tab once the migration is underway and return later to check the status.
-
What WordPress and PHP versions are supported?
-
WordPress 6.2 or later and PHP 7.4 or later.
