Move WordPress - how to do it

With WordPress you can create your own website - without programming skills. The free content management system helps you to design your website according to your wishes. If you want to change the server you use for your website, then this is possible manually or with a tool.

How to move WordPress

If you use WordPress very often, you can easily make the move to a new server. Note that you will need FTP access to your current site, access to your database and a web hosting package from a provider of your choice.

1. First, back up your WordPress files and database. For this, you can create a database backup using phpMyAdmin, for example. The backup is then backed up locally. Using an FTP client, such as FileZilla, you can also save the other Wordpress files locally.
2. Now create a new database at your new web host and create an FTP access.
3. The next step is to customize and upload the WordPress files. Make sure that you also enter the new database information in the "wp-config.php".
4. Note in the SQL file that the domain has changed, if this is the case.
5. Now import your database and complete the WordPress migration. Es kann vor allem an dieser Stelle zu Fehlern kommen, die Sie zunächst lösen müssen.
6. Alternativ können Sie Tools, wie Wordpress Move oder All-in-One WP Migration, verwenden.
