Changed from http to https in WordPress and all was fine though. Feedback: after selecting the destination domain there really should be a confirmation dialog box; because if one were in a rush and not thinking they could accidentally overwrite the incorrect website. Imagine that! Definitely considering purchasing Premium. Cheers. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/559e77166ae7698489bc2182a9812189abd61c5b1262d6320bdc8f42e8102694? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Product & Great Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-product-great-support-186/)󠁿 [makrimo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/makrimo/) August 29, 2023 This product worked awesome! I had a few glitches but Miles was there every step of the way to help. I would highly recommend for sure. Outstanding customer service for sure. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0977d2367858db0252c496a312d01f3daf4b49eec4aca116cee73f08f14c0c69? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Absolutely PHENOMENAL support from Miles!!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/absolutely-phenomenal-support-from-miles/)󠁿 [ofiraricha](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ofiraricha/) March 13, 2023 I’m not going to lie, it didn’t work out for me very well at the beginning and I really needed to use the plugin. I opened a support ticket thinking that it will take them at least 48 hours to respond. I was shocked to get an email from Miles within an hour with a first(not automated) response to my concern. I wanted to sort it all over the phone and share my screen so e hoped on a zoom call. Miles was on quick and didn’t give up till the issue was solved and now I can easily use it. We did a test run and it works like a charm. The big thing that lead me to write this review, which btw is the first time I’m leaving a review for a plugin, is the absolutely amazing support I received from Miles. He responded quickly, he’s very professional and he really wants to help. So refreshing to be helped by someone who actually love what he does!!! Thank you again Miles!! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8d4ebc0cad34caab4f22c0ed7ab7e306520a0ac5770faaf31e1a2353fa516716? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It’s your own fault if this doesn’t work!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/its-your-own-fault-if-this-doesnt-work/)󠁿 [mmyers75](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mmyers75/) March 11, 2023 This didn’t initially work for me so I reached out to support and asked for a refund. Rather than a refund, they asked what didn’t work and took me literally step by step, through a migration process that I never, ever could have made it through. The tool worked, it was simply my very limited technical ability and I was way in over my head. Miles from Transferito hung with me until the very end. I had just about given up on customer support across the board, then a company like this comes along and restores the faith again. USE THIS TOOL and if you hit a snag, just ask for help!!!!! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6fbccd780356f09a3302543945da8451a8993fb51d3d1da8f88a1a68e3f3ec4d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[A True One-Click Migration tool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-true-one-click-migration-tool/)󠁿 [WPWiredIn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wpwiredin/) November 22, 2022 Using Transferito was easy and seamless, the system took a very short time from start to finish. Awesome Migration plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/20dc81c3850e7b09f3793571cce42b82387fa4cd7c2e2f80cccdf3debc95c439? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Most disappointing premium plugin purchase of my life! I didn’t get any benefit](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/most-disappointing-premium-plugin-purchase-of-my-life-i-didnt-get-any-benefit/)󠁿 [Rosid](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rosidnet/) September 2, 2021 1 reply Think again if you want to use the paid version. $69 is not a small amount. This plugin will not work if you are going to transfer your website to another (new) hosting, and the new cPanel hosting uses the same premiere domain as the one to be moved. I’m really upset and disappointed. Poor support, irresponsible, no guarantee of customer satisfaction, complicated developers, product that is not user friendly. I will never be sincere for my money that you take!
