How To Transfer Your Website To Another Hosting Provider

[@Emit.Reviews]

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

[@Anthony-cz2fe]

Bought hostinger 4 year with your discount. Since this video is 4 years old, should we still use guidelines for transferring a website or do you have an updated video for that? Have you found out if the new AI website builder with SEO functionality works with search engines like Yandex, bing or google? Thanks kindly.

[@dangohar1837]

Insane guide, in fact, literally the first guide I've ever seen that explains how to do that stuff PROPERLY. Thank you so much!!

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 KZbinr, looking at the content you create makes me appreciate this content creation as an art form! Your editing is ON POINT!😎

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!

[@AlexNewton1]

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

[@techpiton]

Great tutorial. It worked for me. However, guys please note in 2021 the maximum upload size is 250MBs by default.

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

[@Emit.Reviews]

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.

[@DreadPitt]

Really good video, very wel edited. Thanks!

[@mattyboi789]

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

[@Emit.Reviews]

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.

[@mattyboi789]

@@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

[@janlaurencik7171]

so as I said I have to put old name of the database and other other old credentials Am I right?

[@Emit.Reviews]

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.

[@AjayKumar-ge9gf]

Thanks .. it is very helpful. Can we uninstall/delete the plugin (all in one WP plugin) after migration

[@Emit.Reviews]

No problem, yeah you can delete it afterwards, there's no need for it anymore.

[@Awais_Khan_Tanoli]

Now I'm clear that we have 2 methods for migration. I was confused that some KZbinrs 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

[@burhankarim8938]

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

[@Emit.Reviews]

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

[@janlaurencik7171]

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

[@j.roblesBV]

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

[@Emit.Reviews]

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 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/noCngaiDq92NsKs Good luck!

What is I have a main website with a subdomain? Does this work also?

[@henriquedossantos6519]

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?

[@rankontop5041]

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?

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.

aw thanks man! Always nice to read such comments :D

[@actualhustle2734]

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?

[@Emit.Reviews]

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.

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?

[@Emit.Reviews]

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.

How to migrate a django website with database and others contents from one server to another?

[@jamiekoh6113]

I'm confused. Does switching the DNS from old host to new host automatically transfer the WordPress files over? I felt like there was definitely a step missed here? I thought the purpose of this video was to show how to switch an existing website to a new host with the same domain name.

[@Emit.Reviews]

Switching the DNS does nothing in terms of file transfer. It only redirects the IP address from your old server to the new (which should already have the files transfered to them via the plugin). There were no steps skipped, If you're transferring to a new host with the same name, all of the steps apply the same way. Think of it like this. 1. You download files from your server 2. You upload the files to a new server 3. You switch your domain nameservers so it would display files from the new server instead of the old.

Thr first method yeah, the second method works for any site. But I use a WordPress one as a showcase. I recommend you do a backup of your site before you start in case something goes wrong.

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.

[@stepndance]

@@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.
