+# arcline-migrate
+
+CLI tool for migrating sites from cPanel/Plesk servers to Arcline. Connects via SSH, exports files, database dumps, and DNS zone into a structured tarball ready to import.
+
+Reduces migration friction for new customers coming from GoDaddy, Bluehost, SiteGround, and similar hosts.
+
+## Status
+
+Planned. Not yet started.
+
+## Stack
+
+- Go — single static binary, no runtime dependencies on the client side
+- Requires SSH access to the source server and `mysqldump` available remotely
+
+## Supported sources
+
+- cPanel (primary target)
+- Plesk (stretch goal)
+- Generic LAMP/LEMP via SSH (fallback — manual DB credentials)
+
+## Usage
+
+```sh
+arcline-migrate export --host example.com --user myuser --domain example.com
+arcline-migrate export --host example.com --user myuser --domain example.com --out ./export
+arcline-migrate verify ./arcline-export-example.com-20260303/
+arcline-migrate import --bundle ./arcline-export-*.tar.gz   # future
+```
