Is it possible to migrate to a localhost website?

No. The migration tool will only be able to connect to your website if it is accessible via the Internet.

Updated over a week ago

No, migration to a localhost (local server) is not possible.


Why?

The MigrationPro tool can only connect to a website if it is publicly accessible via the Internet. A localhost environment is only available on your personal computer or local network, which prevents the migration system from accessing it.


What You Can Do Instead

  • If you want to test migration before going live, set up a staging website or a temporary online domain that is accessible online.

  • Once migration is complete, you can later move your staging site to localhost if needed.
