What’s included with Booked Cloud?

Why is it so cheap?

We have a wonderful relationship with Brickhost who has helped us streamline all aspects of hosting. Please consider Brickhost for your hosting and IT support needs.

I’m already running Booked or phpScheduleIt on site. Can I move my data to the hosted version?

Absolutely. We’ll guide you through the migration process at no charge.

Can I have FTP or SSH access to the server? How about the database?

No, one of the ways we keep Booked Cloud costs so inexpensive is having tight control over all hardware and software. Booked does have a powerful API that can be used for automated data access.

I have an existing instance of Booked on my server. Can I migrate to a hosted instance?

Yes. The process is straightforward and typically takes less than an hour.

  1. Create a zip or tar archive of the Booked directory from your web server
  2. Export your current Booked database in SQL format. phpMyAdmin and mysqldump both support SQL exports
  3. If planning to use an existing subdomain, update the DNS A record to point to our servers
