Moving a WordPress site to another domain or hosting

Today’s guide will deal with moving a WordPress website to another domain or hosting. Changing the domain is not so frequent, but it is useful, for example, when moving a website from a local server (a domain of the “interval.l” type) to a sharp version of the website.

If you only need to change your domain, you can continue to the last part of this article.

Copying content from FTP
A basic requirement for moving a site is to have FTP access to the existing site. We will connect to the FTP server through your preferred program. If you don’t use one, Filezilla will suffice , which is free for all platforms.

On FTP, we get to the folder with WordPress, mark all the files and download them together, for example to a folder on the desktop. Due to the number of files, this may take longer.

 

Subsequently, we move the entire contents

of the folder to the root directory of the new website using an FTP client on the new hosting. We usually receive the data by email when ordering web hosting. Sometimes it is necessary to request FTP data in customer administration. If you are unsure, contact hosting support.

Copying content from the database
We have to export all the tables from the thailand phone number data database of the old website to a SQL file, which we will then insert into the new database server.

It is possible to use a tool for managing

the database directly from the hosting provider, or you can use the Czech Adminer tool – and I will use it in this guide as well. Adminer consists of a single PHP file that just building a community around needs to be uploaded to FTP in the same folder as seen in the image above. I usually name it as adminer.php (don’t forget to delete it afterwards). Subsequently, I open the addresse old website and enter the login information to access the database.

If you don’t have access data to the bz lists database, it doesn’t matter – they can be found from.
