MOVE your WordPress site to a NEW HOST - (Migration) #Best Education Page #Online Earning

in this video I'm gonna show you how to

move your WordPress website from one

host to another in this example we're

gonna be moving from Hostgator over to

SiteGround what I'm going to show you

this video should work with pretty much

any host now we're going to be changing

the domain name or anything like that

it's gonna be the same domain name so we

don't need to update any links or

anything like that and we're gonna be

doing it the good old-fashioned manual

way I'm not gonna be using any plugins

to do this or anything like that

we're just gonna simply take a copy of

all of the files and folders and the

database and we take copy on to our

computer then we're going to upload that

to the new hosting make a few little

tweaks here there and then we're pretty

much done so let's get started

[Music]

videos and some other stuff

like articles and infographics and merch

which of course is really cool so yeah

go check that out so anyway we're gonna

be moving a site in this video if you're

on the stream the other week you might

remember Gareth he shared his site with

us and he was complaining that it was

running really slowly I tried to get it

running faster but we just couldn't and

I've been talking to him over the last

week or so on email he's currently

hosted with Hostgator and for some

reason they just can't get the site

performing any better which is a bit

weird because I've got quite a few sites

with Hostgator and they're not too bad

in terms of performance but yeah Gharib

site was just yeah being really slow so

he decided that he wanted to change his

hosting company he decided to go his

site ground based on my recommendation

by the way they came up number one in my

hosting review test you should go check

that out

yeah be linked up in the card and also

in the description so yeah he Sun it was

site ground and he sent me all the

details and asked me if I could help him

move the site so I said yeah why not

hand I'll make a video out of it too and

that's what I'm doing right now so we're

gonna be doing it the manual method

which is basically just taking a copy of

everything and then uploading it to the

new hosting you can use plugins like X

cloner or duplicate ER or updraft few of

them off top of my head you can try

those plugins out they supposed to make

it a bit easier but in my experience

I've found they can be a little bit

temperamental they don't work all the

time it depends on the hosting company

you're using whereas the manual method

it tends to work every time and if you

can do it this way you'll be just fine

so I'm gonna hold your hand take you for

it step-by-step let's get on with it so

this is the site I'm gonna be moving

it's a Woo's own site running the

kingdom theme if you're on my live

stream the other week it may look

familiar to you it was sent to me by

Gareth who is that he WP

cool regular and he was complaining that

the site has been running really slow

now it's currently hosted with Hostgator

and he's been talking to them via their

support and they've done all they can to

try and get it running faster and they

just have been able to so he's made the

decision to change hosts and he signed

up we have SiteGround

who are my number one recommended host

at the moment that's based on a load of

tests that I did Rita me if you only go

check those out you'll find a link in

the description to a full length article

all around hosting and who's the best

who's the quickest who's the best value

and all that kind of stuff so you do

check that out so I've got a few tabs

open it's gonna make it easier for me to

get everything that I need it's

basically need to take a copy of all of

the files all the WordPress files the

plugins the themes all that kind of

stuff and I also need to take a copy of

the WordPress database which is where

all the content and all that stuff is

stored I'm going to download both of

those to my computer and then I'm gonna

upload them to the new hosting over at

site ground make a slight adjustment to

the WP config file and then repoint the

DNS and we should be all done now just

for comparison I've run this site

through the Google PageSpeed insights

tool and it's coming up with somewhere

to error so if we get an improvement on

that then we're doing well so I'll run

it through this test again

once all the move has taken place and

we're up and running on site ground so

let's get started

so in this tab let's call it the first

tamp although it's probably the second

tab really isn't it but hey this is the

Hostgator control panel and you're

pretty familiar with this if you are

with Hostgator if you're with a

different host you'll need to log into

your control panel which I'm sure will

look very similar in the next tab I've

got the site ground control panel which

tops we're going to be moving the site

to and then in this tab I've got GoDaddy

open which is where we can make changes

to the DNS which is what we'll do after

we've moved everything across so let's

go back to the host Gator control panel

what I'm going to do is go into the file

manager which is just here this shows us

all of the files and folders on our web

hosting if you've got multiple web sites

on your hosting account you'll see them

all down here they'll all be in their

own folders if you've just got the one

maybe you're on the baby plan or the you

know the basic plan with your host then

all of the files and folders that you

need will probably be in the public HTML

folder so you're going to need to think

about which one applies to you on this

account we obviously have got multiple

websites so I'm just going to choose the

one that matches the domain name I'm

moving which is this one here give that

a click and then we can see down in this

right-hand panel all of the files and

folders so what I need to do is

basically just select all of these so

I'm go ahead and click select all then

what I'm going to do is compress them

into a zip file so I'm going to click

compress up here select a zip and then

click compress files I'll take a few

moments ok so that's all done let's

click close now we have this zip file

that's just appeared and what I'm going

to do is download that to my computer so

just highlight it click download I've

got a folder that I've created on my

computer where I can put all the files

for this website so let's just click

Save it's going to take a few moments to

download

while it's doing that let's download the

database so I'm gonna go back to the

Hostgator control panel scroll down to

the databases section which is here go

into PHP my admin and here we are now in

this account again because we've got

multiple websites there are multiple

databases so I need to work out which

database is for this particular site you

may only have one database here these

are all the databases with this little

kind of silver round thing next on their

databases if you've only got one and

I'll see that is the database that you

need to get here we've got seven so I

need to work out as I say which one is

the relevant one to do that I'm gonna

just pop back into the file manager I'm

gonna look for the WP config file which

is here but then I'm gonna click edit

and then edit again and there we go the

first line why it's not quite the first

line but the first line actually does

anything the ones start to fine

gives us the name of the database

service word piece 7 perfect as closed

that don't need that right now

so back to PHP my admin select number 7

now the first thing you do is check the

size of your database so this one is 60

Meg anything over 50 Meg can be a

problem when you're importing to your

new host there's often a limit on the

size of the file you can import and even

if you zip it up sometimes it can cause

problems when you try and run the import

feature so if your size is reading over

50 make then it's best to kind of break

this down into a few different files if

you look down this column here this size

column we can see which tables are the

biggest these are all the tables in the

database see this one here is 20 and Meg

which is the wp most sorry the WP post

better tables so what I'm going to do is

I'm just going to select that one first

I'm going to put that in it's over file

so I've checked the box next to it yep

I'm gonna come down to Bob and then on

the drop-down I'm gonna slip export and

quick is fine let's press go and I'm

just gonna give it a name of WP post

maybe I should use underscores be a good

thing just so I know what that is

that's fine let's go back into database

now of course if your database is less

than 50 make them you can just grab all

of these tables together so you just go

check all and then export them all into

the one file so now I'm going to export

everything apart from that WP post meta

that big one episodes can take that all

the rest are selected then go export

then go I'll leave that fine as it is

that's fine okay so everything is

downloaded to my computer now let's go

over to psych ground and let's start

copying the files over or uploading them

from my computer let's import the

database so I'm logged in here I'm going

to go to my accounts gonna click go to

cPanel

so first thing to do is to upload the

files so I'm going to scroll down I'm

looking for that file manager again

there it is I'm gonna go to document

root for the website which is all

trained good okay you came and here we

go the directory is empty there may be

some files and folders in here the kind

of default ones that your host has added

for you you can just select them and

delete them so you've got a nice empty

directory then to upload the files so

let's click upload let's choose the file

so I want this one which is the zip file

we created if you remember within the

file manager 115 Meg it's quite big but

I don't think there's any restriction on

this oh there is 20 gigs I think we'll

be fine then so we can see that it's

uploading down in this bottom right

corner it's going to take a few moments

about 35 seconds going to this so I'll

just do a quick edit ok so that's all

done let's go back there's a zip file

what we need to do is extract it so I've

just highlighted it I'm going to click

extract and then extract files that says

it's all done perfect so all our files

are there we can have delete this zip

file we don't need that anymore let's

just I like that click delete then we're

good

so now we need to do the database and

leave this file manager open for a

second and pop back to the site ground

control panel and scroll down and go

into MySQL databases all I need to do is

create a new database you can call it

whatever you like

I'll call it Bob why not and you're

gonna want to make a note of these

things so just copy that let's fire up a

note

I'm just gonna type in database name

just like I remember this stuff to go

back then we scroll down we need to

create a user so that's this box here

just put in whatever you like

let's call it Peter why not need to

generate a password that's perfect just

gonna copy that so I know what it is

it's a press use password I'm used to

add that to my notes the username is all

one Peter let's click create user then

the final thing is we just need to add

that user to the database so squares are

bottom make sure you got the right user

and database selected press add tick all

privileges and then make changes and

that's done so our database is now

already so I'm gonna go back to the

cPanel home then I'm going to scroll

down and go to PHP my admin interface so

here's the database we just created Bob

it's empty I'm gonna press import to

choose a file let's do the big one first

and in fact the other ones actually

being after the single table write its

own WP post meta press open and then go

it's gonna take a few moments now

sometimes you do get a timeout error on

this or a gateway error although

generally it works even if you get that

error so let's just see what happens hey

we didn't get an error it worked fine so

there's our first table this one import

again import the rest which is this one

and let's go

so that's worked as well amazing quickly

when I was testing this out early I was

getting some air wishes I said gateway

errors and that kind of thing but it's

all working now so what do you know if

you do get an error when you're

uploading you wanted to still check

because I say sometimes it just work

even if you do get an error the best

thing to do is just come back to your

database and just check that the size

matches so we've got sixty point six Meg

now on site ground and if I go back to

Hostgator was it this one yeah this one

and scroll down

we've got sixty point six making it so

those match so you can be pretty

confident that the whole database has

come across so that's good we've got the

files we've got the database on our new

host at site ground final thing is we

just need to adjust the WordPress config

file so that it matches up with the new

database details easiest way to do that

is go back into the file manager this is

on the new host so this is on site

ground find your WP config file and then

press on the code editor let's edit then

it's these free lines here this one this

one this one this one that we want to

change so let me get my note first one

is the database name which is this I'm

just going to copy paste next is the

database username which is this

finally is the password just like that

then I'm gonna collapse a top press save

that's all done so I can close this now

don't need this anymore so the final

thing we need to do is just update the

DNS settings which you'll do as your

domain registrar generally so the main

registrar we're gonna be using today is

GoDaddy got it open here and this is the

domain I'm looking to change so I'm just

gonna click on DNS it should be very

similar with whoever your domains are

registered with you basically looking

for your DNS settings so currently the

name servers are over at Hostgator so

I'm just gonna update them to the site

ground ones now if you're running email

or things like that through the domain

and maybe that email is hosted with I

don't know office 365 some like that

then you need to be very careful with

this and you might just want to change

the a record on your name servers if

you're not sure then it's best

politically in touch with whoever's

hosting your email and just double check

with them if you update the name servers

but that basically moves everything over

to your new house could be email could

be anything basically move everything

over and it's all then gonna be running

for the new house which is generally

probably what you're gonna want to do so

let's press change and then we just need

to paste in the new name servers and you

can find them in your hosting control

panel so here's the site ground control

panel just going to copy this one back

here and paste it in and then back to

here get the second one paste it in

press save

that's all done now that can take a few

moments to update around the world

sometimes it can take a couple of hours

so you need to be patient

once that's done we can then login to

the site on our new hosting and final

thing we'll need to do is just request a

new SSL certificate on our new house so

what I'm gonna do is wait a moment and

in fact the best way to find out if your

DNS is all propagated and it's all

updated because it can be difficult to

work out when you get you know visit

your website is it on the old hosting is

it on the new hosting because office

it's going to look exactly the same what

I like to do is how I just go into the

site ground file manager and what I'm

gonna do is create a little file I'm

just gonna go a new file a new HTML file

I'm gonna call it site ground HTML Thank

You farm then I'm just gonna edit it

then we can use any of these let's go

HTML editor and edit I'm just gonna put

that there this is SiteGround perfect

and then save

we can close this so now when I'm on the

web site if I try to access that new

file site ground if it loads then we're

on site ground if it doesn't we're still

on how to cater so we got a four a four

there so that means that the DNS has not

propagated yet so I'm just gonna wait a

little while and then when I see that

HTML file load up I know we're on site

ground and I'll finish off by requesting

the SSL

so I've just refreshed and my page is

now showing which means that the NS is

updated and we're now over on site

ground final thing to do is get the SSL

certificate installed when the site was

on Hostgator it had on the free SSL

certificates running so we need to do

the same on site ground so into site

ground user area and top my head I think

we need to go into cPanel let's do that

then if we just scroll down I'm looking

for SSL there we go p--'s I'm a security

they click let's encrypt and that's the

domain that's fine install it's been

added to the queue so that's going to

take a few moments so let's just wait

for that so there we go that only took a

few moments let's go back to the site

let's get rid of this psycho HTML and

let's have our look there we go that

seemed to load a bit quicker we've got

the HTTPS working it's green perfect so

I guess the final thing is just to run

this through the PageSpeed insights see

what happens

so yeah before it was just given an

error let's just click analyzing so here

we go fingers crossed

now I'm expecting a loan mobile school

because nowadays PageSpeed insights

gives you a loan mobile school unless

you've really really optimize your site

well for teens actually too bad in order

to get this speed up you need to or the

score up even you need to kind of

optimize your images use JPEG 2000 all

sorts of things that most sites don't

have so I'm not too worried about the

low mobile school at least we've got a

school that's definitely an improvement

remember before we're just getting the

error message and now on the desktop

we've got a score of 71 which is very

respectable I think so we're all done so

that brings us to the end of this video

hopefully you got your site moved

overall okay if you're stuck or what you

got any questions and do leave them in
