hello friends I am Nishita on blog.com and today in this video I'll show you the easiest way possible to migrate or transfer your website from one domain to another domain or from one hosting to another hosting now as you can see there's an example on your screen this is my website blog to calm you can see the complete website with you now I have transferred or not transferred I have simply copied this same website on another domain now if you see this is femme dot in this was blocked or com this is Pham Totten and this is the exactly same website as you can see all the comments all the slugs all the permalinks all the content media database everything will be copied and this is the easiest way that you can do for example if you open this page resources and discounts and if you open the same page over here here you'll see this slug is resources for building the perfect WordPress website and here as well you will see the same thing so everything is copied if you see over here in this bar in this admin power it says that 39 comments over here also 39 comments so even the admin or the media the comments pages post everything will be copied in the best and perfect way now if

then give a thumbs up and also share this with your friends if you have any doubt any suggestions any comments you can leave them in the comment section below with that being said let's get into it now for this video I am considering two scenarios in the first scenario and considering that you already have a website for example like this blog - dot-com you have all the content and you have a domain name or like this and you have installed WordPress on this one now you now you want to move this website this complete website to this new domain ok so this is my first scenario and my second scenario that I am considering is that you again have a website but you want to move this same website this time you don't want to change the domain the domain should be same the website should be same you just want to change the hosting for example you're on Hostgator you want to move to tmd hosting or you're on a to hosting her side ground and you want to move to a better and faster hosting like tmd hosting so i'm considering that in the second scenario so suppose you're on Hostgator and if you want to move to TMD hosting then that is useful for you okay I'll show you step by step how you can do that without messing anything okay so let's start with the first scenario here I have a website for example if you see fam dot in and I have a domain name I have just installed WordPress on this domain this is actually a subdomain test dot Nisha calm now I want to copy the entire website all the pages all the posts and media are usernames comments everything to this website okay now let me show you how you can do that first go to your dashboard okay so simply click on vo now what you can do you can type in your domain name put a forward slash and type in WP - admin you will be redirected to this dashboard section now the first thing that you need to do is install a plug-in which is a free plugin so don't worry about that simply how our plugins and click on add new alright now you can search for all in one WP migration okay let us see alright so this is the plugin that we have to install all in one WP migration it has got more than a million active installations so that is great now there's a new update over here so instead of this update now you will see install and activate button so simply install and activate this plug-in once done you'll see our tab over here at the left hand side which says all-in-one WP migration how old that and click on export now from here click on export to and select this thing file ok so this will prepare a file for you so the size of the file may vary from site to site if you have a lot of post for example here as you can see it is 397 MB this size may increase or decrease according to the website that you have so you can simply click on this button it will start downloading it but I don't want to talk about that because as you can see I have already downloaded this file so once you have this file where you can do you can go to the other domain this is the other domain again go to the dashboard now what he can do you can simply hover plugins the same thing click on admin and here also you have to install the same plugin so let's type in all-in-one ok so you'll see all in one WP migration click on Install Now button now let's activate this plugin alright guess as I said you earlier once you do that you will see this tab over here now this time we have to hover this and click on import and click on this button input from click on file now simply select the file that you have just downloaded so this is the file ok as you can see this is 395 MB so select this file click on open now it will start importing the entire website it will import everything as I said here earlier the database username everything so this might take some time a few minutes or depending on the size of the website I think it will take around five minutes or less than that so by that time I may pause this video or if possible I fast for this video okay so the don't have to wait until this reaches 100% all right guys now as you can see this took around 20 minutes and after 20 minutes I'm seeing a screen or notification or a pop-up like this okay so this import process will overwrite your website including the database media plugins themes please ensure that you have a backup of your data before proceeding to the next step so simply click on proceed now it will you know prepare everything for you you don't have to do anything and it as you can see it is restoring around seven thousand two hundred and sixty two files so that is great now this step won't take long it will take less than a minute I guess so let's wait alright guys so as you can see now we see that your data has been input is successfully so you can simply close this thing and now wherever you click you will be asked to login again and you have to enter the credentials of this website ok the website from where you downloaded the file the website from where you exported the file actually ok so you have to enter those credentials and click on login alright so I think it was this let's click on login again okay now you see everything is looking perfectly you have all the same plugins all the same settings everything has been imported now let's visit this website let's see how it looks now as you can see we have the exact same website okey now let's go to this page or any other page and you see the slugs now again you'll see 39 comments over here so everything is just same ok nothing has changed all the media everything is present over here so this is how you do that this is how you transfer or migrate or copy your website from one domain to another domain now you can have both a domains or if you want to have only one to mean for example if you want to have only this domain what you can do you can rewrite this old domain to this one ok so whenever someone clicks or goes to this domain they will be redirected to your new domain so you can do that that would be great alright guys so we are done with the first scenario and our next scenario is that you have a website for example again in this case also we we are considering for him taught in so we have a web site now I want to move this website to another hosting plan ok for example this is I guess on I think it's on side ground this ayah this is on side ground I guess this website is on side ground now I want to migrate this to TMD hosting so that I can get better performance better security and faster speed so I would highly recommend you guys to with TMD hosting that is the best hosting provider in the market they provide cloud hosting at a very affordable price you can see the link in the video description below simply click on that link and go ahead and migrate to TMD hosting and this a coupon code that you can apply that will give you seven percent discount all right so let's see how we can do this thing first let me cut all these things okay so first of all or because you already have a website which means that you have signed up with some company so whenever you sign up or create account with any hosting company you receive a mail like this for example this is the mail 40 MD hosting this is for Hostgator this is for a2 hosting I have oh and you may also have your website or domain and/or website hosted on GoDaddy okay so for example when you see this TMD hosting or let me go to a2 hosting verse this website is hosted on a2 hosting or not eat like a site ground I forgot that I guess it is side down so when you whatever the companies you will see in this mail there is something called client area for example you can see this link you can click on this link and you will go to client area ok so whatever our website whatever hosting plan you're using you will always see this client area for example here also you have this client area login here also you have this client area somewhere here it is client portal you know this link so let's cut all these things and you know for eat for psych ground also this client area so that is called you a dot site ground com now again in this example there could be two scenarios in the first scenario it might be possible that you have both the hosting and the domain on site ground and in the second scenario which is very much common you might have your domain name on GoDaddy and you might have the hosting on our side ground so first of all we have to change the DNS settings and before that or you have to profile oh the same process to tell that you have to go to this website okay what you can do is simply go to this website install this all-in-one WP migration export the file okay just like what we have done earlier export this file download that file whatever the file that you get okie and after that you have to follow these steps okay so suppose your dog your domain name is on GoDaddy so you can simply click on here click on my products to see your domain name okay as you can see we have this thing over here for MDOT in or if your domain name is on some other hosting plan for example let me go to this because I'm not going to cite Brown because I don't have any domain on site ground that's why so I'm going to r8 to hosting so you go to client area of a2 hosting I'm showing you both these things so that you know even if you have the domain name on the same plan or on GoDaddy you can follow these steps okay so as you can see here I have one domain and if you don't see the client area link you can simply type in for example if you are using Hostgator you can go to Google type in Hostgator client area or client portal you'll see a link as you can see portal dot hostgator.com this is the link so you'll see that link as you can see here we have a domain name this is the domain name you have to click on this wrench icon or most of the time it will say manage so you have to click on that manage button alright now I have many different options over here I have to change the name servers okay so these are the name servers at present okay and for this thing if you see this is another domain okay and for example here we have this is how you do on hosting and this is how you do on GoDaddy you have this domain name over here you click on DNS Aggie here also you see your name server so this is what we have to change now first of all you have to go to your client area your cPanel so whenever you want to go to cPanel this is the cPanel of the new hosting where we want to move so suppose I want to move to tmd hosting I can go to my mail and check out that link ok here is the link I can click on this link okay it will ask me for my email address and all those things I can simply click on login okay and all these things you will get it over here okay so you simply put this thing and come over here now we have to see what is our name server so in fact you don't even have to come over here to see the name servers you can see your name servers are weaker so what you have to do you have to simply copy this name server from here come over here click on change paste in the first name server which is this so let me copy this theme till voiture let's paste over here okay copy the second name server okay copied from here paste it over here and click on save and in this case also do the same thing copy the name server one and two from here and click on change name servers now after you click on chain name servers it will take some time to change the name server of your website at present you won't see any changes on your website so sometimes it might take around 24 hours but most of the times it will take just within one hour or a few minutes okay so it all depends so you can wait till then and till then let me explain you what you can do now by the time those name servers are changing let's do one thing go back to that mail that you got from tmd hosting this is the mail that you get when you sign up with TMP hosting or any other hosting now at the bottom you will see this control panel link simply click on that link and here you have to enter the username and password so you can simply copy your username FTP username cPanel username and password from here paste it over here okay let me see and click on login alright so once you come to this what you have to do you have to click on add-on domains ok click on add-on domains and put in the domain name that you want to transfer so in this case we want to transfer for him dot in just put in this much for him dot in and in the sub domain type in fam it will automatically type actually in the document root also type in family and click on add domain alright as you can see this is the domain name has been created now we can click on go back click on cPanel now you can go at the bottom and click on WordPress this you see under Softaculous app installer click on WordPress now click on install now search for for him da teen that you have just created and delete this thing from here WP okie make sure you have selected HTTPS so that you get the secure socket like this one secure HTTPS but for now I am just selecting HTTP you can change the site name site description but you don't need to do these things because everything will be changed automatically so we can select a username from here but it is not very useful because you have to enter the username and password for the website from where you have you know exported the file ok so simply put in username password go at the bottom click on install this will take some time and let's see what happens now as you can see we get to us let's click on the second one fam dot in slash wp-admin this says the page could not be found now that is happening because I think the name servers have not yet changed so that is basically why it is happening okey if the name server has changed you will see something different okay you will see a blank page over here or whenever you install a new website you get that boring page you will see some piece like that okey so again this will take some time this might take a lot of time actually so I will have to pause this video whenever the name servers are updated I'll continue and show you what you can do after this okay alright guys so as you can see who you finally the website is now changed and this is how it is looking now we have to click on which you're on the dashboard and we have to follow the same and simple process let me show you how you can do that simply how our plugins first dismissed this our plugins click on add new and let's install the same plug-in again all in one WP migration all right install now now let's activate this now we have to import the file that we have earlier exported okay so first of all we have to hover this and click on import okay so this was the file so I'll select this thing and click on open and this will take some time obviously to import all the website data all the pages the post F whatever was present on that website it will import everything it will also import the database and all okay so let's see how much time it takes it should take hardly a minute or two now you have to click on this proceed button and it will start importing all the databases so it will take a few more seconds alright now it's all done you can simply click on this close button and go to your website now as you can see exactly the same website all the URLs all the pages you can see it's all the same okay so everything all the media all the comment everything is imported successfully alright so this is how you do this thing obviously you're going from one domain to another domain is quite easy but from one hosting to another hosting it's easy but it takes some time because you have to wait for you know 12 13 or sometimes 24 hours okay but this is quite an easy stuff you don't have we don't need any technical knowledge for this one it's all one single click and it will do the thing for you okay so I hope this video was helpful for you guys if you like this give a thumbs up to this video share it with your friends leave a comment if you have any doubt any suggestions for me and please don't
