How to Migrate WordPress Site to a New Host or a New Domain Using Plugin
In this video, I have explained how to migrate a WordPress site to a new web server or a new domain. You can follow this method if you want to migrate your website from Localhost to a Web server.
I have used a plugin, 'All-in-One WP Migration and Backup.' This plugin makes the process smooth. The plugin is free to use.

Export:
1. On the existing website, install the plugin and export the backup of the website.
2. You can create the backup file in one click. The backup contains the website's files and database.
3. Then, you need to download the backup file. The file will have .wpress extension.
Import:
1. Create a new WordPress website on the new hosting (either with the existing or new domain).
2. Point the domain to the new host (If you are using the same domain).
3. Log in to the website's dashboard.
4. Install the 'All-in-One WP Migration and Backup' plugin.
5. Import the downloaded backup.
6. It will overwrite the new blank site, and you will see the new website after the process is complete.
***If the size of the downloaded backup is large, you may need to increase the server's upload limit. You will find it on the PHP configuration page, or you can ask your hosting provider to change the limit.
