Moving to Deploykin — no reinstall, no downtime.

A running server is connected as it is: the panel scans its packages, sites and databases and takes them under management. There is a separate wizard for Ploi and a clear order of steps for shared hosting.

  • No server reinstall
  • Sites keep running
  • You start it — the panel does it

Server ready to connect — no reinstall required

Three cases

Where are you moving from?

The move depends on where your sites live now. In all three cases you start the actions yourself — in the panel or over MCP.

The server is already running

Connect it as it is

The panel scans the configured server and takes it under management. Sites stay where they are and don't stop.

  • Any Ubuntu server, not only ones set up by other panels
  • The packages, sites, databases, certificates, cron jobs and daemons it finds appear in the panel
  • Nothing is reinstalled
What the scan finds
Currently on Ploi

The Ploi migration wizard

The server stays the same — what changes is who manages it. The wizard rewrites the Nginx and PHP-FPM configs for Deploykin.

  • Sites, PHP-FPM pools, daemons and deploy keys
  • Started from the panel or over MCP
  • Sites keep running throughout the move
How the move from Ploi goes
A site on shared hosting

Moving to your own VPS

From shared hosting you move the site yourself — with the panel's tools. The old site keeps working until you switch the domain.

  • Files — as an archive or from Git
  • Database — by importing a dump
  • SSL and the domain — at the end, in one step
The four steps of the move

Connecting a running server

What the scan finds.

The scan doesn't change the Nginx, PHP or site configs. A deploykin user is added to the server and root login is disabled; key-only SSH login and an SSH port change are up to you.

  • Sites

    Nginx virtual hosts with their domains and directories.

  • SSL certificates

    Issued certificates and their expiry dates.

  • Cron jobs

    Schedules of the system users.

  • Daemons

    Background processes and their commands.

  • Repositories

    Where each site is deployed from.

  • Packages and services

    What is installed and what is running.

  • Users

    The server's system users.

  • Databases

    MySQL databases and users. Site credentials are taken from their .env files.

  • Configs and logs

    Nginx, the PHP-FPM pool, .env and the logs of every site.

Migration from Ploi

The same server, a different panel.

The wizard connects to a Ploi-managed server, scans it and moves it to Deploykin: the same server, the same sites, a different panel.

  • Nginx configs and PHP-FPM pools are rewritten for Deploykin
  • Daemons and deploy keys are carried over
  • Key-only SSH login and a port change — if you choose so
  • At the end, what Ploi left behind is removed from the server

From shared hosting

From hosting to your own VPS — in four steps.

There is no automatic transfer from shared hosting: every host gives access to files and the database in its own way. But on the VPS side every step is a button in the panel.

  1. Regular hostingthe site is up and serving visitors
  2. 1

    Connect a VPS

    Rent a server from any provider and add it to the panel — it installs the stack itself.

    5 minutes
  3. 2

    Create the site and upload the files

    Deploy from an archive accepts eight formats. If the code is already on GitHub, connect the repository.

    archive or Git
  4. 3

    Import the database

    Upload a dump as .sql, .sql.gz, .sql.zst or .zip — the panel restores it into a new database.

    dump
  5. 4

    Switch the domain and issue SSL

    Once the domain points to the new server, Let's Encrypt is issued in one click. Your own certificate can be uploaded in advance.

    DNS and SSL
  6. Your VPS under Deploykinthe old hosting can be switched off

For WordPress, after a domain change you'll want the site address replaced in the database — it's in the site card. WordPress
