class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Need_Of_WordPress_Website_Migration\"><\/span>The Need Of WordPress Website Migration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone migrates to a WordPress website, there can be multiple reasons. But some of the prominent ones include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The current hosting provider doesn\u2019t offer support services.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Current hosting plans are expensive.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The hosting provider has faced a data breach.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The WordPress site is not compatible with the platform.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The dedicated dashboard limits the configuration.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, due to several reasons, someone takes such a decision. And you must know these if you provide WordPress migration services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Migrate_WordPress_Website_Manually_Complete_Procedure\"><\/span>How To Migrate WordPress Website Manually: Complete Procedure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When migrating a WordPress site, the manual method gets considered chiefly due to higher control over the procedure. However, you must only follow the manual method if you thoroughly understand FTP (File Transfer Protocol).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, in the manual process, you must manually migrate all the WordPress website files and databases. Therefore, access to all the core directories and files is required. So, let\u2019s have a look at each manual WordPress migration step.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Select_The_New_Host_for_WordPress_Website\"><\/span>Step 1: Select The New Host for WordPress Website<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, when you develop a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/WordPress\" rel=\"nofollow\">WordPress<\/a> website, it gets hosted on the platform itself. But, most companies avail third-party hosting services to publish the site. However, sometimes they must change the hosting provider for lack of services, security, or other reasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you also want to migrate WordPress website from the current host to a new host. Then, you must search the internet for a reliable WordPress hosting service provider. And while selecting a provider, keep in mind to check the availability of the following factors. It would help you assess whether the services are reliable or not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SSD Storage for faster database operations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlimited Bandwidth for constant website availability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SSL for security<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Malware Scanner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free email<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Managed WordPress service and acceleration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>24\/7 Support Service<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>eCommerce Optimization support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free Migration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequent backups and uptime guarantee&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If the provider offers the mentioned services, you must consider it for availing the hosting services. And before finalizing anyone, compare it with others to better judge pricing and features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Perform_Complete_Back_Up_Of_WordPress_Site\"><\/span>Step 2: Perform Complete Back Up Of WordPress Site<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Backing up the website files is necessary, as you need to upload the files to a new host. And at this step, File Transfer Protocol will get used. You can use an automated tool for this procedure, such as FileZilla, cPanel backup, or similar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you connect with the current server, navigate through directories to find the folder containing all the necessary files. The folder must be available with the site\u2019s name or public_html. After finding it, please right-click on the folder and download it. As a result, all the files will get downloaded to your local machine. But before you disconnect, verify that all files are downloaded in the correct format.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, if any files get corrupted or don\u2019t download, perform the procedure again. Although to prevent such situations, I prefer using cPanel backup. And you will see an impeccable backup of all website files.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Execute_WordPress_Database_Backup\"><\/span>Step 3: Execute WordPress Database Backup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with other website files, you must back up the database also. And for the database, cPanel is required. It\u2019s the control panel the hosting service provider provides to manage the website and associated resources. Creating a database backup will retain details about your users, content, login credentials, and any other information your site stores.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a database backup, go to the&nbsp;<strong>phpMyAdmin<\/strong>&nbsp;option. Primarily, it would be available under the database section. Once it is located, you can create the database backup. In addition, you can also utilize it for creating a new database and downloading it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, phpMyAdmin will show you a list of all the available databases. You must check the relevant ones and then navigate to the export tab.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"803\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/positiwise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/phpmyadmin-export-database.png\" alt=\"phpmyadmin export database\" class=\"wp-image-10642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/positiwise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/phpmyadmin-export-database.png 803w, https:\/\/positiwise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/phpmyadmin-export-database-300x219.png 300w, https:\/\/positiwise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/phpmyadmin-export-database-768x560.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Export_WordPress_Database_and_Generate_a_SQL_Database\"><\/span>Step 4:Export WordPress Database and Generate a SQL Database<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>After going to the Export tab, please select the format of the database in which you want to download it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For WordPress migration, select SQL as its format.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the Go button to initiate the process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"803\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/positiwise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/phpmyadmin-export-database-format.png\" alt=\"phpmyadmin export database format\" class=\"wp-image-10643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/positiwise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/phpmyadmin-export-database-format.png 803w, https:\/\/positiwise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/phpmyadmin-export-database-format-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/positiwise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/phpmyadmin-export-database-format-768x409.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As an outcome of the export process, you will see database files with a .sql extension on the system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, it\u2019s time to move to a new host and set up the WordPress site. If the new hosting provider also uses cPanel, it would be effortless to set up the database. Otherwise, it would help if you discovered their dedicated panel for importing the SQL files. However for cPanel, follow the below instructions:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Step 1:<\/strong>&nbsp;Log into the cPanel of the new WordPress hosting service provider.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 2:<\/strong>&nbsp;Navigate to the Database section.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 3:<\/strong>&nbsp;Under database, select the MySQL Databases option.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 4:<\/strong>&nbsp;Generate and remember a new SQL database with a user name.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 5:<\/strong>&nbsp;Now, go to the phpMyAdmin interface.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 6:<\/strong>\u00a0Select the Import tab and upload the SQL files that you downloaded\/exported previously.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the procedure mentioned, your new host will run the WordPress site database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Upload_WordPress_Site_Files_on_the_New_Host\"><\/span>Step 5: Upload WordPress Site Files on the New Host<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the database import on the new host, you must now upload the website files. Like the second step, connect to the new host using the File Transfer Protocol. Then, open the root folder and right-click anywhere. It will display the option to upload.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Further, click on Upload and select all the associated files, folders, and directories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After that, initiate the upload process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will see all your files on the new host as soon as the procedure is completed.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the new WordPress site host contains the database and site files.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Configure_the_wp-configphp_File\"><\/span>Step 6: Configure the wp-config.php File&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The new host server will not run the site even after uploading all the files and databases. To let end-users access the WordPress site, you must navigate the host toward the new database. And it would happen by modifying the content of the wp-config.php file.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will find the wp-config.php file in the root folder. And by right-clicking on it, you can access and view its content. Further, search for the below three lines in the file.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre class=\"CodeMirror\" data-setting=\"{&quot;showPanel&quot;:true,&quot;languageLabel&quot;:false,&quot;fullScreenButton&quot;:false,&quot;copyButton&quot;:true,&quot;mode&quot;:&quot;css&quot;,&quot;mime&quot;:&quot;text\/css&quot;,&quot;theme&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;lineNumbers&quot;:true,&quot;styleActiveLine&quot;:false,&quot;lineWrapping&quot;:true,&quot;readOnly&quot;:true,&quot;fileName&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;CSS&quot;,&quot;maxHeight&quot;:&quot;400px&quot;,&quot;modeName&quot;:&quot;css&quot;}\">define('DB_NAME, 'db_name');\ndefine('DB_USER, 'db_user');\ndefine('DB_PASSWORD, 'db_pass');<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, replace the variable in small case letters with the database name, user, and password. You must put all three details of the new database created on the new host, within which you import the SQL databases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, save the file and access the site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_7_Update_the_DNS_Domain_Name_Service\"><\/span>Step 7: Update the DNS (Domain Name Service)&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, update the Domain Name on the server. It will ensure that the DNS server provides the end user with the correct website address. To update the domain name, you can follow any of the below methods:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Transfer the domain purchased from a hosting provider to the new host.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Switch your DNS nameservers.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, check the guide of the new hosting provider to get insight into the DNS update process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"rounded py-3 px-4 has-base-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#151e2c\"><em>Recommended Read: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/positiwise.com\/blog\/how-to-migrate-from-net-framework-to-net-core-a-detailed-guide\">How To Migrate From .NET Framework To .NET Core<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Another_Migration_Method_Migrating_WordPress_Website_With_Plugins\"><\/span>Another Migration Method: Migrating WordPress Website With Plugins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people think that WordPress plugins are only for extending the website\u2019s functionality. However, it can also be used for WordPress migration purposes. There are plenty of plugins developed only for helping in migrating from one host to the other. All such plugins can perform database backup, site file backup, and all other tasks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most prominent WordPress migration plugins include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>All-In-One WP Migration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duplicator<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>UpdraftPlus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WP Migrate DB<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Migrate Guru<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use any plugins mentioned, but most professionals prefer the All-In-One WP Migration plugin.
