Inadequate or unsuitable web hosting can limit the success of your website.<\/p>\n[Tweet &#8220;Migrate your WordPress site to a new host\/domain name in 11 simple steps&#8230;&#8221;]\n<p>Migrating a WordPress site is not as frightening as it sounds. As with many complex tasks, breaking the process down into a step-by-step process makes a WordPress migration more manageable and easier to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>The process is a little different depending on whether or not you wish to use the same domain and URL structure, or are moving to a completely new domain name or directory. We&#8217;ll explain along the way.<\/p>\n<p>An example of moving to a new domain would be www.yourdomain.com &gt;&gt; www.your-domain.co.uk.<\/p>\n<p>A move to a new directory might look like www.yourdomain.com\/blog &gt;&gt; www.yourdomain.com\/news.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you are yet to register or find your new domain, be sure to check\u00a0availability\u00a0via LCNs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/domain-names\">domain name checker<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>01. Back up your existing website<\/h2>\n<p>Glitches can occur when websites are migrated, so it is essential to make sure your data is backed up before you start.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are WordPress plugins available that make light work of backing up a WordPress site. Some popular options are:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/backupwordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BackUpWordPress<\/a><\/span>: a free option that will back up all WordPress databases and files on your own schedule.\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/backwpup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BackWPUp Free<\/a><\/span>: a tool that allows users to back up their WordPress site to Dropbox, Google Drive, S3 services and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you are confident that you have a recent backup of your WordPress site, it&#8217;s time to start the migration.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. Disable Permalinks<\/h2>\n<p><em>The step is only necessary if you are changing your domain name or directory.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Go to &#8216;Settings&#8217; and then &#8216;Permalinks&#8217; in the existing WordPress interface for your website.

Make sure your select the correct folder. For instance: a sub-directory\u00a0called &#8220;blog&#8221; if you want to install at www.yourdomain.com\/blog, or just upload the install right into the root directory if you wish to not install to any sub-director.<\/p>\n<p>If you are using cPanel, you can simply upload the complete .zip file that you downloaded in the last step.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>07.
