We have a website built with WordPress hosted on a server, but the hosting service starts to fail or the annual fee increases considerably. Then we decide to move servers. That is where the complications begin because we will have to dedicate many hours of work to the migration of all websites from one hosting to another. But here at Neoteo we are always thinking of you, so we are going to present five plugins to migrate your WordPress from one server to another.
All environments work in a simple way, creating a site storage file; which you will have to load on the new hosting to restore the site. Some listed services do the upload automatically, while with others you will have to do it manually.
WPvivid
WPvivid is a very good free extension to migrate your WordPress with a simple click. The platform comes with a remote storage option that allows you to transfer the data files of your current site installation to the new hosting. The extension also supports scheduled backups and storing them in Google Drive, Dropbox, FTP, etc.
All-in-One WP Migration
All-in-One WP Migration you will be able to perform a complete migration of your WordPress site to different local and remote services. But in its free plan, remote destinations: Google Drive, Backblaze, OneDrive, FTP, are not compatible with the plan. If you want to do the migration to some of these hosting, you will have to download the file to your computer and then upload it to the new hosting manually. The tool has three functions:
- Export
- Import
- Backup
In the blank WordPress installation on the new server (you also have to install the plugin), you will simply have to import the file generated by “All-in-One WP Migration” and restore your site.
WordPress Migration
WordPress Migration works similarly to the previously mentioned plugin, but it does not have a commercial plan. When installing it on your website, you will have to generate a backup in ZIP format that you will then have to import into the new WordPress (blank and with the extension installed).
Migrate Guru
Migrate Guru is a plugin to migrate a WordPress from one server to another. The service also does not come with an integrated cloud storage option (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) but it is compatible with different hosting services.
The list of compatible hosting to migrate WordPress websites are:
- Go Daddy
- Blue Host
- CPanel
- SiteGround
- Host Gator
- Inmotion Hosting
- DreamHost
- A2 Hosting
- WpEngine
Simply choose a destination and then you will have to authorize it through your account to begin the migration process. If you want to do it manually, you can choose the FTP option.
Duplicator
We will finish with Duplicator, another service to migrate a website made in WordPress from one server to another. In its free plan you can only migrate one site (any weight) and it lacks cloud services support and scheduled backup support. From its interface you will create an export package that you will simply have to import on the new server (with a blank WordPress installed and the plugin).
With these five free plugins to migrate your WordPress from one server to another, you will have different options and you won't have to spend hours doing it manually.
