How to Move a Site to a New Host Using cPanel

[@Kullaniciadibulamadi]

I seriously don't know anything about web page design let alone website migration and thanks to your video, I managed to move my website to a new host. I didn't need to do the user credential part - thank god coz that bit was a bit scary for me . The only problem I faced was my website was no longer linked to my Instagram account. Now I'll try to figure that out too. Thank you so much once again!

[@clevmartin]

I am so sorry, I thought I came back and posted an update. Everything works great. The error was on my part. Site is working perfect. All the information you provided was correct, easy to follow and accurate... I didn't listen and watch close enough the first time while watching the video. I was trying to do more than one thing at a time. So sorry I didn't correct this post. Your instructions are PERFECT. Just a word of advise to people on KZbin making a website, Don't DRINK and start changing stuff on your WP, lol

[@CreatingaWebstore]

+clevmartin Yes drinking can always make things seem a bit more difficult :) Thanks for coming back and letting everyone know things worked out. I figured that you did things right since you actually got to see the log in screen. If your entire site was down, it would have been a different story. Either way, WP sites are some of the easiest sites to move.

I just want to applaud you for your concise tutorial! This was so helpful. I just saved myself a lot of trouble and money by completely transferring my website to my hosting platform.

[@k5ttt]

Thanks for taking the time to put this up. Worked like a champ! I modified it a little. I took my main site files and database and cloned them to a test subdomain on the same host. I created a new database and imported the live database into the new test db. I had the ability to add the live DB user account to my new database so I didn't have to change anything but the new database name. My configuration differed from yours. I had to modify configuration.php rather than local.xml for Joomla, but all I had to do was change the DB Name. Everything else was very similar. Thanks again!

[@ritwickhalder1085]

I logged into youtube to thank you for creating this video. It helped me to migrate my websites to a different host and assure me that I was doing it the right way. Thanks :-)

[@gabrielnwatarali5557]

I was looking for a quick refresher and this was spot on. Thanks!

[@LeeSargent]

Thanks for this tutorial - I had to transfer a wordpress site this morning and this helped a lot!

[@justmakingvideos1567]

This indeed did help me 100%. I moved my Joomla website, so, the configuration file is located at someplace else. Other than that, your instruction worked well. Thank you for sharing this info.

[@LawofattractioncoachingNet]

Thank you so much, this video helped me out when my host wouldn't. I appreciate the time you took to make this! Thank you!

Hi can I use this method to make a backup of my Wix site? Wix sites cant be backed up yet

[@ricard458]

so simple and effective. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! :) I moved a joomla site

[@HimawanWijaya]

Very nice and simple tutorial, thank you for sharing.

[@NickLaBran]

Followed your steps exactly and it worked beautifully!! Thank you!!!

[@AdelheidBantle]

Excellent explanation, thanks very much!

[@medsarscorp-tinamunang5206]

Thanks very much. Your video helped me a lot.

[@3rdtwirl494]

I have a domain from a client I’d like to migrate over can you help

[@AndresCadungog]

Hello there, this a nice and neat tutorial, a great help. A quick question, are the plugins included in the backup? I manage to install a backup plugin but haven't tried it yet.. what's the best option for this?

[@CreatingaWebstore]

Andres Cadungog It depends on where those plugins are located but in very rare cases will you find that data separate. So if they are located in the directory which you're saving, then the plugins will be included. Since most plugins also contain MySQL data, the MySQL data associated with those plugins will also be saved as long as the MySQL data is in the same database.

[@AndresCadungog]

wow, gonna try them out. thanks for the fast response.. really appreciated it a lot!

[@Action_Reloaded]

I'm having trouble even getting started. The word press templates always seems diff when I add them to use. I.e....my background image always covered by a white from page. And then im not sure how to add pages onto my menu tabs...like I'd create a menu tab named library....so when I click library I can work my way through loads of posts etc but not sure how to do that. Is there a tutorial? On how to use cpanel word press

[@JasonTRogers]

How do I backup the database without the backup wizard? I don't have a backup wizard on Bluehost anymore.

[@michellecollins2712]

I worried about that before but when I saw reviews about techcyber100 via gmail , I migrated all contents from my website over to godaddy with all the files intact... we spoke on 12012979269...

[@johnadamkidd]

You have just saved me countless hours!!! Thank You So much! Now Im just going to use Filezilla for small files eg config....

[@CreatingaWebstore]

John Kidd Glad it helped. Yes, FileZilla works great as an FTP client and so do many others.

[@CreatingaWebstore]

@Lisa Franklin for some reason I can't reply to your comment. The site which I backed up wasn't that big. I don't know how long it would take 50 gigs of data to backup but from what I've read, it's recommended to keep the browser open while it compresses but I don't know how factual that statement is. You can always try to backup and close and then see whether everything was backed up by downloading and opening the compressed file on your computer.

[@metegg]

hey! thanks for the video it's really great! I have one question though, How can I migrate a single site that's on my server and not all of them?

[@malikdamartian6863]

Is Wordpress the only website I can transfer web hosting? I know that I cant with wix because their server is exclusive, I think square space is the same. Not sure about Weebly? can you confirm or deny this? Thank you!

[@nitulkm]

Hi. I want to migrate my site from Shared Linux Hosting to Cloud Hosting in Bluehost itself. I did the migration. But when I am running my site, it is not switching to Cloud Hosting. Can you please help?

[@arjunbogati6388]

Danny when I moved, my themes didn't come out right? What am I doing wrong?

[@MeryamsGh]

hi I did the same with a wordpress site, but the URL didn't change .. any idea how to update the URL? thanks!

[@chriswotton5507]

Great video, one question though, when people are on my website does it now pull the information from both the host's? or do I just need to update my domain nameservers?

[@BartStobienia]

so I download DB and public_html.zip, I have 4 sites in public_html.zip, how do I upload just the one that I need?

[@blogmodi7528]

[@amandaa3524]

@CreatingaWebstore Thanks so much for this awesome video! Everything worked great for me! One quick question for you: if I'm using this process to move from one web host to another (with the intention of cancelling my original web hosting account that I'm migrating my sites away from), won't I also need to add the domain for the site I just migrated to my cPanel account as an AddOn domain? And shouldn't I then change the nameservers for the domain in question, too - if the domain was purchased via a third party domain name provider (rather than via either of my web hosts)? Thank you so much! :)

[@fatihtasdemir7812]

some domains unavailable where completely finding cant im, however before using was i.

[@tayneilson]

If I didn't name it Public_html do I need to do the move at 13 minutes?

[@RobertPearson777]

I haven't studied this whole video but have a question. If CPanel is software on a web host, how does it switch itself over? Does one log in to the new host and reboot CPanel?

[@enigmagroup413]

Robert Pearson It doesn't. Your new hosting account or server has to have Cpanel on it.

[@jalaenleake8366]

Under the backup wizard step, nothing shows up for database in step 2. Please help! ):

[@AdamKaan]

My Cpanel doesn't have a backup icon or a backupwizard icon why is that?

[@lightsandglass]

Same here..

[@muhammadirshad4950]

contact your hosting provider. majority of the times hosting company disable this option because backup consumes extra resources.

[@AnuragKumar3137]

i have taken domain name from big rock and hosting through hostgator so can you plz explain how to change the name server ,bcz when i am changing it at big rock i am getting error as Your DNS Management service is not configured correctly

[@MastaChris]

Hi, great tutorial, everything worked for me except then admin area. Whenever I try to access the admin side i get an error message saying: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 85 bytes) in /home/admin8899/public_html/lib/Varien/Object.php on line 270

[@CreatingaWebstore]

Masta Chris Hello glad somethings worked. It seems like your memory level is too low. Try raising the memory_limit in your php.ini file.

Hi, I've moved my Magento site to the new host by following exactly the steps from the video, but it not working. What went wrong?

[@CreatingaWebstore]

Tommy Chong This depends on whether you are receiving an error. Maybe you haven't updated your Magento configuration properly. I'd also make sure that the database tables and files were moved correctly.

[@CreatingaWebstore]

Tommy Chong Also make sure that the hosting account or server is setup properly to support Magento.

[@OtarPorchxidze90]

[@CreatingaWebstore]

Mai Crompton Thanks for watching the video. The steps are the same for multiple domains. Only issue I can see is that your web hosting account may need to be setup a certain way to work with the programs or CMSs which you are hosting.

My site is all jacked up now, lol.... I cant even log in.... Be careful people...

[@CreatingaWebstore]

+clevmartin With WordPress, it could be as simple as deleting your cookies and browser cache if you can't log in. Either way it's best to understand the process of moving the site fully prior to proceeding with the move. Best way to do it, is to move the site but not take the original down. Test the new site and once you see that it's working properly, take down the original. Note that the server settings on your new site might not be setup right.

[@jasond3270]

WARNING: Go daddy makes you believe you are migrating to a new hosting server, but all they do is pointing your domain to a new account. The new server stays empty. Stay away from Godaddy! i have dealt with this BS for years, but I'm moving out of there. We are done!

[@ff7936]

so have you learned to speak without holding your nose closed yet?

[@clevmartin]

Seemed like a good video, but now I cant even log in to my wordpress

[@CreatingaWebstore]

+clevmartin If everything else is working on your Wordpress site, just try clearing your browser cache and cookies because this is usually the cause of Wordpress login issues after moving a site.

[@clevmartin]
