# Importing Existing Instance
If you already have a WordPress Instance you would like to import into PanelAlpha, you can do that in the same way you would create a new instance, on My Instances page. After clicking on Add New Instance pick Import Existing WordPress Instance.
Type in your current WordPress instance URL and continue.
In order for PanelAlpha to download your instance, it need to connect via FTP/SFTP, so you will need to enter the FTP details.
