In this tutorial you'll learn how to transfer your website from one host to another completely free of charge. This can be done on absolutely any web hosting providers and you don't have to pay their technicians or contact them at all. By learning how to transfer your website from one host to another you'll never have to pay for a website migration service ever again.

TIME TABLE
Intro - 00:00
WordPress Website Transfer (Max 500MB size) - 0:20
Updating Name Servers - 3:20
Manual Website Migration (Unlimited Size) - 4:35
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Using a WordPress Plugin (MAX Website size - 500MB)
► Plugin to Increase Transfer Size ➜ import.wp-migration.com/
In other to transfer your website to another host you'll need to take these steps.
1. Open the WordPress dashboard of your old web hosting provider and install and activate a plugin called "All In 1 WP Migration".
2. Click on "All In 1 WP Migration" button and select the "Export" option from the menu.
3. Choose to export your website as "File" and save the zip file somewhere on your computer. These are all of your website files for a successful website migration.
4. Now, to transfer your website you'll need to install a clean WordPress version on the web hosting providers account you want to transfer your website to.
5. After WordPress is installed go into the control dashboard and install the All In 1 WP Migration plugin again.
6. This time from the menu choose "Import", if your website is larger than 64Mb you'll need to install the plugin extension I've linked above.
7. Upload the File you've downloaded earlier. And the plugin will transfer your website to another hosting provider automatically.
8. Now you'll need to update your Permalink Structure. Click "Update Permalink Structure" and choose “Post Name” then click save. Your website should be transferred at this point!
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Manually Migrate Website (ANY SIZE)
1. Inside your OLD web hosting provider, navigate to the File Manager and compress all of the files there into a zip file. Then download the Zip file onto your computer.
2.Inside your OLD web hosting provider, navigate tothe PHPMyAdmin area and export all of the database files as an SQL file. Download the file onto your computer.
3. Inside your NEW Web hosting provider and install a fresh WordPress version.
4. Inside your NEW web hosting provider access the PHPMyAdmin area and remove all of the existing files. Replace them with the SQL file you've downloaded earlier.
5. Inside your NEW web hosting provider access the FIle Manager and delete all of the files there. Replace them by unpacking the zip file you've downloaded earlier.
6.Update the WP-Config files with the new prefix to merge the database and files of your new site.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
So these are the 2 methods of how to transfer your website to another host. While the first method of website migration is easier, it's limited to maximum size of 500mb for your website. If you have a larger website than 500mb you'll have to use method 2 to successfully transfer your website.

UPDATE: All in 1 Migration plugin now doesn't have the basic plan (they increased the limit by default). But if you need an even BIGGER limit, you don't need the paid plan. Just navigate to your website files via FTP or (File Manager). Find the .htaccess file and add this line at the very bottom.
php_value upload_max_filesize 2048M
php_value post_max_size 2048M
php_value memory_limit 512M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300
This will increase your limits, good luck with your website transfers!
This help a lot thanks
Insane guide, in fact, literally the first guide I've ever seen that explains how to do that stuff PROPERLY.
Thank you so much!!
Awesome man, happy I was able to help. Thanks for the comment :)
Hey, Emit! I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for your tutorial and your review on the best web hosting options for 2021. I have successfully moved from one host to another host, thanks to the help in this video (I used the all-in-one plugin method!). Stay well and keep pumping out great content! As a new RUclipsr, looking at the content you create makes me appreciate this content creation as an art form! Your editing is ON POINT!😎
it's really cool that you actually took the time to put the tutorial in the description and keep this updated via comments thanx
Love your videos, love your attitude, love your instructions. Please don’t stop making more videos. You inspired (and taught) a complete newbie like me to create a website and it turned out fantastic. You deserve more views and I want to Thank you wholeheartedly. ❤️

The oerfect guide, where were you so many days, lifesaver. thank you.
This is amazingly helpful, I know go daddy and bluehost are cheap hosting but heres now a resource that is bang on correct - Those large companies can't even create any close equivalent video.. just hours wasted on frustrating, useless support chats. I was begging them to at least guide me in the transfer process and a vid like this has saved the day. Super easy content to watch too, great pitch, bravo.
It took me 20 tutorials to get to yours.. whew.. THANK YOU!! finally.. one that makes sense..

Thanks man, I'm happy this helped you out :) Once one million people transfer their websites then maybe it'll have 1 million views haha
Thank you sir! The manual way worked PERFECTLY. I'd actually recommend the manual way as you won't have to worry about any plugins failing on you. Sounds way harder than it is!

I have one question for you can I use total commander to upload and extract zipped WP content? instead off file manager on my hosting I mean web ftp?
With Best wishes,
Jan
So a question, if you have sub domains, is it the same process? what about email set up and passwords? set up a new subdomain and recreate everything? then upload site files and connect to database?
Thank u bro
awesome guide.. billions of thanks to you my friend. It helped me a lot to understand the process.
Billions of thanks accepted :P Happy I could help!
Would this also be a good way to move a website you built on your server to your clients server and hosting?
thanks a lot
Thank youuuuuuuuu.
Super Amazing! Among the best tutorials on hosting migration.
Does this your no-bluff guide work on a website with subdomains?
Don't ever doubt on your skill you are the best. Kiss from central african cameroon
Thanks man :)
Thank you very much I think now I really know how move website manually Thanx
What is I have a main website with a subdomain? Does this work also?
Thank you 😊 my friend
I have one question I don`t have put an old name of the database and user and Server because I import old database with old information so that is not need to override the name of the debase in the wp config file?
You still need to do that if you use my method. Because the way I do it is I create a new blank website automatically. So the system creates all of the necessary folders and files. And then I just put the old files into the new containers.
But the config file still looks for the "new" names so you have to change that.
Hi community, I'm confused at 09:03, when Emit says, upload the zip file, does me mean the exported .wpress file ? Do I need to zip this?
THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perfect
Hi my hosting paln is almost finished at name cheap and I don't want to renew the paln it is possible to choose another plan With same provider namecheap
i need a help
how to increase upload limit of phpmyadmin
i got only 256mb max memory
how to increase it
i tried to edit .htaccess bit nothing happened
is possible to create a website on editor x and run it true hostgator?
Great tutorial. It worked for me. However, guys please note in 2021 the maximum upload size is 250MBs by default.
So if I want to keep the same domain name, do I point the nameserver first? Or migrate the site itself first?
It doesnt matter it will work both ways :)
Is there a way I can migrate my website to another hosting provider using the same website name and domain only with WP, without name servers because the previous guy that works for the company I am going to now doesn't want to give us access to the old web hosting provider.
So I am stuck with only WP login info and we want to keep the same name.
Hi, emit thanks for your video. Can you confirm does All in 1WP really allows to import up to 2GB file size? Because it shows 2GB now instead of 65mb. Thanks
They keep changing the "limit" but it has nothing to do with the plugin. Its just a PHP file transfer setting (you can even change it yourself at any time). So it should work no problem
Thanks .. it is very helpful. Can we uninstall/delete the plugin (all in one WP plugin) after migration
No problem, yeah you can delete it afterwards, there's no need for it anymore.
How long does it take to realize that you haven't migrated your email accounts? What do you do if you realize it after the original hosting service closes your account? It didn't happen to me but very few migration tutorials ever mention email.
Thank you thank you thank you!
No, thank YOU for watching! :P
Will all the plugins automatically be transferred too?
Great, fast-paced video. Here are 4 open questions I have that hardly any migration tutorial talks about:
1) How about moving the email files (when the hosting package one initially bought was domain name + web hosting + email hosting), lets say all under the old domain name (just moving to a new host)
2) How about moving things like additional DNS records (CNAMEs, TXT records) that one installed over the years, e.g. to authenticate SMTP providers to send mails on behalf of your domain
3) How about other databases and files that reside out of the WP database/wordpress directory - e.g. ecommerce module that has a folder in the root of the domain, next to the wordpress files and that has also its own tables in the
4) How to deal with ecommerce transaction that still "hit" the website on the old host after you took a copy but before you moved to the new host. How long does it take for nameserver to update? - what to do with transactions that still got processed on the hold database during the DNS updating period?
Any suggestions, pointers to and of these questionsß
so as I said I have to put old name of the database and other other old credentials Am I right?
You don't need to change the name of the database, because if you followed the steps as I've done in the video the wp-config should already be created with the new names. But you do need to change the PREFIX to the old one from the new one. Let me explain why this happens.
1. You create a "blank" website it autocreates a database and config file. It links everything together.
2. You enter inside the database and delete all of the information there, then change it with the old info. (Since you're only changing the CONTENT of the database, not importing it from scratch you don't need to change the database name in config)
3. However, the database PREFIX won't match now and it's part of the content so the only thing you need to update is the config.
If you follow the steps in the video exactly it should work no problems :) It's kinda hard to explain this via text.
How to migrate a django website with database and others contents from one server to another?
If I migrate my site to hostinger from go daddy then do we need to renew hosting on go daddy??
No, you can cancel it. Because you'll have a plan on Hostinger and you'll be using Hostinger servers
My website is extremely slow at hostgator I want to transfer to Hostinger but do I need to migrate all my website or would it become faster by just transferring the old domain to hostinger? Please help I’m a bit confuse
You need to transfer the whole website. But before that make sure you're actually optimizing your website and content. Hostgator isn't a particularly fast hosting company but it can be optimized for an okay result. Don't spend more money before trying to solve your problem, do the research, see what helps. If at the end the speed still doesn't satisfy you then yes - switch providers or upgrade your plan.
How to speed up your website video - ruclips.net/video/hODPuMvxZzI/видео.html
Good luck!
rest of the pages were okay but the homepage is not loading. Can u help me ???
Now I'm clear that we have 2 methods for migration. I was confused that some RUclipsrs use plugins to migrate while others do it manually. We can do this manually whether the website's size is more than 500MB or not. Excellent tutorial but I have a suggestion please slow down a bit it may mess up things for those who don't know much about WordPress
can I take elementor account and all other accounts into another hosting with this methods??
You can transfer your elementor accounts anytime u want. Just change the domain you're using their service on within the settings on their website
On siteground i have grayed out extract option :(
Great guide but following the manual website migration section but my file upload limit is 500mb on hostgator... so sad
moving from them to interserver.. better than HG
When I extract the file I only have a .wpress in my file manager, but no folders, what am I doing wrong?
The .wpress file is generated by allin1migration you need to use the plugin (import function) if you want to extract these files
How can I change my hosting provider name?? It’s not showing our company it’s showing something different company name
when using the same domain name how is it possible to install wordpress on the new hosting provider? I have changed the name servers to my bluehost account however cannot install wordpress unless I also transfer over the domain.
Hey ktimas, you can add your domain on bluehost as an "Add on" domain using their advanced controls. Then you'll be able to install wordpress
@@Emit.Reviews Hi Emit.great video! I have the same question as Ktimas.. I am migrating to a new hosting but using the same domain name. It won't allow me to add-on the domain unless I delete subdomains from the previous one. If I'd unassign from the old hosting, will there be any problem? please help.- Jessa from the Philippines.
I have migrated from dreamhost to bluehost while keeping domain same from dreamhost only using your steps. After i changed my DNS named servers in dreamhost i started getting SSL certificate warning and if i click proceed i am getting 404. I am getting same problem on wordpress admin as well kindly help it URGENT my site is down :(
hey please make a video for lite speed cache plug in
Great - 1st method is easy and workable. One thing to know which is very important i.e. do I need to transfer domain name first or website file? Because on new host provider it might be mandatory which comes first to them!!!! Please assist. Regards
There's absolutely no difference in what you transfer first. I usually transfer my website files then the domain to have a little bit less downtime on my website.
Thanks Emit! I'm a little confused about something: When you log in to the newly installed WordPress, do you create a new login or use your old WordPress login? If it's the same login, can you use this to edit several different domains with the same WordPress login? Thanks
When you create a new instance you'll need to create login information (it can be the same as your old site, but you still need to create it)
The way these WordPress logins are handled is "per instance". So, 2 multiple sites can have the exact same login info.
Every website has its own WordPress instance installed, so while the login information can be the same. You'll see info in regards to that specific site when you log in.
Hope this clears it up a bit.
@@Emit.Reviews Yes, I think I'm there! I will use the same email and password for all Wordpress I use on different sites, and it won't conflict in any way :) Thanks Emit
Hey, Emit! excellent guide. Always find your videos helpful. Keep rocking. I have a doubt (more of a dumb question maybe).
The thing is, I have created a few domain emails using my current web hosting's cPanel. If I migrate my website to a new web host, what happens to those domain emails?
Hey man, not a dumb question at all. Once the migration is over I recommend deleting your emails at the old host and re-creating them at the new host. Since you'll be using different Ip address and MX address to send the emails now.
@@Emit.Reviews Gotcha. Thanks 🍻
Can you transfer a registered domain cPanel to another web hosting cPanel?
Yes you can transfer the domains around between any 2 hosting providers.
Can you do something like this if you’re self hosting?
Absolutely, the process is the same. Just instead of pulling the file from the server, you should already have them on your computer
thanks for the guide need to know about my email data
The emails won't be transferred and you'll need to delete the old box and create a new one in your new host. Best thing you can do is archive the emails or "forward" them to another box to still have them available.
@@Emit.Reviews by pointing my domain to hostinger i can,t be able to login my previous web hosting server
In the second method I couldn't upload my website, it says: max. size 125 MB. My website size is 950, so what should I do? please help me
That's probably a limitation of the control panel your host is using. You can bypass that by using a program like FIlezilla to connect to your FTP account directly and upload the files that way.
@@Emit.Reviews then uploading using FileZilla would be a third way of doing it, and if you are kind, maybe a video tutorial would be helpful for those not familiar on how to use the ftp method. Thanks 🙏 for your help and tutorials.
For me, The first method causes a bug, my backup file is around 380mb in size. It gets stuck at 2%
Can you help?
Hey Nina, you could try downloading your backups and then migrating the website without backups. Then using a plugin like UpDraft to put the backups where they belong :) Or just use the 2nd method, it's unlimited.
Why does my export download always get stuck on 9.6mb everytime?
unable to download export content. Any idea why? it just keeps reloading until 9.6/160MB and then restart again. in the end it says "failed-file incomplete"
Immediately click on resume then it will be resume where it paused
I’m having the same problem rn
Can you easily find out how big your website is, before choosing the type of switch you will use to migrate from one host to another? Thanks for your time and expertise
You can go to your control panel and download a backup
Good tutorial...BTW whats the hurry - are you going to miss your train or something? This tutorial is like sooooooo faaaassttt
I'm trying to save peoples time :D I personally hate slow reviews, so I try to make mine faster. Because I know people can rewind the video to watch certain parts a couple of time if it was unclear.
@@Emit.Reviews The tutorial was good for me ...not so to the people around me. Just an observation if you can slow the pace down by just 0.25 will be great. The video was informative and good. Just the speed of it. Have a Good one ahead
