Migration

Moving to or from TYPO3

Self-hosted TYPO3 lets you download the source and export the page tree as XML or T3D, but that format imports into another TYPO3 only. Manual redirects with 301 are supported.

TYPO3:

common questions

Is TYPO3 free?

Yes, the TYPO3 CMS software is free. It is open source, so there is no license fee to pay.

What is TYPO3 used for?

TYPO3 is used to run websites as a professional open-source CMS. It serves organizations, businesses and teams across industries, organization sizes and use cases.

Can I run an online shop with TYPO3?

Yes, through extensions. The documentation describes EXT:cart as a TYPO3-native shop solution, and payment providers are added with separate extensions. No built-in store plan is stated.

Does TYPO3 support 301 redirects?

Yes. The redirects extension lets you create redirects manually with a chosen HTTP status code, including 301. Automatically generated redirects default to 307.

Can I export my TYPO3 site and move it elsewhere?

Partly. You can export the page tree, or parts of it, as XML or T3D and import it into any TYPO3 instance. It is not a one-click export of a full running site, and no importer for other platforms is documented.
