Can I transfer CMS hosting from one Webflow project to another, without needing to buy new hosting or restart the live site?

Yes, it is possible to transfer CMS hosting from one Webflow project to another without needing to purchase new hosting or restart the live site. Webflow provides a feature called "Project Transfer" that allows you to transfer a site from one project to another.

Here's how you can transfer CMS hosting:

1. Open the project that currently has the CMS hosting you want to transfer.
2. Go to the project settings by clicking on the gear icon in the left sidebar.
3. In the project settings, click on the "Transfer" tab.
4. You will see a transfer form where you can specify the project you want to transfer the hosting to.
5. Enter the Webflow.io subdomain of the destination project and click on the "Transfer" button.
- Make sure the destination project has CMS hosting available, as it is required for the transfer.
- You can check this by going to the destination project's project settings and checking if CMS hosting is enabled.

Once you initiate the transfer, Webflow will handle the migration process, including transferring the CMS collections, content, and hosting settings to the destination project. The transfer typically takes a few minutes, and you'll receive an email notification when it's completed.

It's important to note that during the transfer process, both the source and destination projects will be inaccessible, and any changes made during this time may not be included in the transfer. Therefore, it's advisable to plan the transfer during a time when the site's content doesn't frequently change.

By using the project transfer feature in Webflow, you can seamlessly move CMS hosting from one project to another without any additional cost or interruption to your live website.
