Hi there @sagarpatil,

We do not have the native ability to migrate Droplets outside our platform. Unfortunately, we also really don’t have any straightforward instructions on how to migrate a Droplet to a new host.

However, we do have a 3 part tutorial series which covers most of the things in terms of migrating a Linux server. Whilst this is not Droplet specific is should be a good starting point if you are ever needing to migrate hosts.

Hope that helps! - Matt.
