SWITCHING HOSTS

Switching from another host?
Bring your server with you.

Your world, saves, configs and mods are just files. Download them from your old host, upload them to Monolith, and test everything on a free 24-hour trial before you cancel anything.

HOW IT WORKS

Six steps to move a server.

01

Start a free trial.

Pick the same game on Monolith and start a 24-hour trial with code TRYMONOLITH. Card required, £0 today, one trial per verified card. Cancel during the trial to avoid paid billing.

02

Back up from your old host.

Stop the server cleanly, then download world or save folders, configs, plugins or mods, and any MySQL dumps over SFTP or with your old panel’s backup tool. Keep that archive until the move is finished.

03

Match versions.

Run the same game version, server software and mod or plugin framework as before: Paper, Forge, Fabric, RocketMod, OpenMod, Oxide, Carbon and so on.

04

Upload to Monolith.

Upload over SFTP or the panel’s file manager. SFTP is easier for large worlds. Every plan includes database slots, so you can create a database in the panel and import your SQL dump.

05

Test privately, then switch.

Join from outside your own network, check inventories, permissions and mods, and restart once. Then update your server list entry, Discord and any DNS records. Keep the old server stopped but recoverable for a few days.

06

Stuck? Open a ticket.

We don’t run a managed migration service. If something blocks you, open a support ticket and we’ll help from there.

FAQ

Before you switch.

Do you move my server for me?
Not as a managed service. The steps on this page are self-serve, and if you get stuck you can open a support ticket and we’ll help from there.
Can I try Monolith before I cancel my old host?
Yes. Start a 24-hour trial with code TRYMONOLITH, move a copy of your files and test it with your players. Card required, £0 today, one trial per verified card.
Will my server address change?
Yes. You get a new IP and port, so update your server list entry, Discord and any DNS records once you are happy with the new server.
Where can I move my server to?
Germany or São Paulo, Brazil. You pick the region at checkout; São Paulo costs £1–3/mo more.
