SiteGround migrationHere’s how to migrate your website to SiteGround.

You should have been given a SiteGround migration token by UKcentric. The token looks a bit like this: 1610996911-83733f1805692f3-f166c12866b33f50. If not, please contact us.

  3. Click “Add New”
  4. In the “Search plugins” box, type “SiteGround” and hit Enter
  5. The SiteGround Migrator plugin should appear in the list of possible plugins. Make sure it’s the one labelled “By SiteGround”
  6. Click “Install Now”
  7. Click “Activate”
  8. A new menu item appears in your admin (left-hand) menu labelled “SG Migrator” – click this
  9. In the “Migration Token” box, paste your migration token
  10. You can optionally enter an email address to be notified when the migraiton is complete. This is handy because for large sites, migration can take some time.
