Feature by feature

Every Transferito feature, checked against Duplicator.

IN BRIEF

Duplicator zips your site into an archive on your own host, then you move it and run an installer. Transferito does the heavy work in the cloud, so your host’s limits don’t decide whether it finishes.

1

Large sites finish

Duplicator Lite stalls around 500MB and even Pro can fail above about 2GB, depending on your host. Transferito has moved sites up to 50TB, and works even when the disk is full.

2

No FTP, installer or empty database

A free Duplicator move means downloading two files, uploading them by FTP, creating a database and running an installer. Transferito moves are fully automated.

3

Nothing left behind

Leftover installers and archives on public servers are behind most of Duplicator’s security issues. Transferito’s Cloud Bridge connection is cleaned up automatically.

4

Pay for the move, not a subscription

Duplicator’s first-year price renews at full rate, roughly double. Transferito is from $1 per domain.

WHERE DUPLICATOR FITS

Developers with cPanel access who are comfortable with FTP and databases, or Pro users who also want scheduled cloud backups.
