# Move your Minecraft server from GGServers

> Get your world and plugins out of GGServers, import them here in one step, and switch the address without losing players.

Moving is three steps: get the files out of GGServers, put them here with the importer, point your players at the new address. Your world, plugins or mods and configs come along; nothing is retyped.

## 1. Get the files out of GGServers

GGServers runs the Multicraft panel at mc.ggservers.com. **Files**, **FTP File Access** signs you into a web file client with your Multicraft password, and GGServers points at FileZilla, WinSCP or Cyberduck for anything large; the same host, port, username and password go into the importer. The world sits in the server root and the panel's **World** box shows its folder name, `world` by default, with `world_nether` and `world_the_end` beside it on Paper. Note the server type and version from the panel before you start. An extra port added under **Advanced**, **Additional Port** for a plugin such as dynmap does not travel, so that config needs the new port after the import.

## 2. Bring them here

1. Create the server on FadeHost with the same software and Minecraft version as the old one. Do not start it yet.
2. **More for this server**, **Import from another host** (also under **Settings**, **Import**).
3. Choose SFTP or FTP and enter the old host's details, or upload the zip you downloaded. Pick what to pull: the world, plugins or mods, configs.
4. Start the server and read the console. A plugin that stored the old address or an absolute path needs a config edit.

## 3. Switch the address

Players take the new address from the server page, or from the join page you share. A custom domain moves by changing its SRV record, or by connecting the domain in **Settings**, **General**, **Your own domain**. Keep GGServers for a day while people switch, then cancel it: **Services**, **My Services**, the service, **Request Cancellation**, then **Immediate** or **End of Billing Cycle**. If you paid through PayPal, cancel the PayPal subscription there as well, and import before you cancel, because GGServers deletes the files when the service is terminated.

## What is different here

- The price is per gigabyte, not per plan: 4 GB is 4 GB, and RAM changes any day without a migration.
- Player slots are a setting, not a plan tier. See [Difficulty, gamemode and slots](/docs/difficulty-gamemode-and-slots/).
- Modpacks, plugins and mods install from the panel; the crash doctor explains a failed boot in plain words.
