Moving to a new web host can often turn into a daunting and painful task.

Early in my Internet career I’d put off a server move for weeks as I knew it could cause a lot of issues and as the old saying goes,“if it’s not broke why fix it.”

As we’re approaching the end of the year, we see a huge influx of new customers coming over from other web hosts as they want to start the New Year fresh.

We try to do everything in our power to help with this at NameHero providing 10 complimentary cPanel to cPanel migrations as long as we can obtain a full cPanel backup from your current host and the backup file isn’t excessive in size.

But what if you don’t want to move your entire cPanel account, just WordPress?  

What if your current web host doesn’t use cPanel?

Thankfully there are a number of pain-free options to get your WordPress website moved.

The kind folks over at ServMask have developed a plugin called All-in-One WP Migration that will help migrate your WordPress website over in a couple of clicks.

Install The All-in-One WP Migration Plugin At Your Old Host

To get started, you need to install The All-in-One WP Migration Plugin on your old web host (or the web host you’re moving from).

To do this, login to your wp-admin and go to Plugins -> Add New:

Once here, type in All-in-One WP Migration Plugin and press enter.  You can then click Install Now:

Once installed, you have to Activate it:

Export Your WordPress Website At Your Old Host

Once the plugin is activated, you’ll see it show up on your left navigation menu, hover over it and click Export:

 

From here, you’ll have a couple of options:

If you want to proceed with the default (all options) click on Export To and select your destination:

If your website isn’t that big, it maybe the easiest option to export to File.  This will package up your WordPress website and download it to your computer.

If you have a larger website, you may wish to use the FTP option to send it over to your new (NameHero) web hosting account.  In addition, you can also send it to a third-party service such as DropBox.

If you don’t want to export your entire WordPress website (for example Spam comments/post visions) you can click the Advanced Options tab and eliminate them (since it’s most of the time useless data):

Once you’ve accomplished this, you should have a nice export file on your computer (or other location):

Install The All-in-One WP Migration Plugin At Your New Host

Following the same instructions as above, you’ll install the All-in-One WP Migration Plugin inside WordPress of your new web host:

To do this, login to your wp-admin and go to Plugins -> Add New:

Once here, type in All-in-One WP Migration Plugin and press enter.  You can then click Install Now:

Once installed, you have to Activate it:

Import Your WordPress Website At Your Old Host

You’re now ready to import your website.

On the side menu, hover over All-in-One WP Migration and click Import:

This will bring up a screen where you can simply drag the export file of your website into the upload area and it will begin the import process:

If you used another option (such as FTP or DropBox) you’ll need to click Import From, select that option, and install the appropriate plugin:

You will then follow the Import wizard:

Once complete, you’ll get a success box such as this:

You’ll want to click the link called Permalinks Settings and save twice:

You need to do this twice as it will re-generate your .htaccess file and make sure your links as properly formatted.

Congratulations, you’ve now successfully imported your WordPress website at NameHero!

If You Get An Upload Limit Error On Import

When you go to import your file, you may get an error that your PHP upload limit is too low:

If you get this, you can login to your NameHero control panel -> cPanel:

From here, search for Select PHP Version:

And then click Switch To PHP Options:

And then change your upload_max_filesize and post_max_size:

Click Save and try the import again.

If it is still too large, you can upgrade to the Premium version that allows for unlimited size imports for larger websites.

If you have any trouble, feel free to let us know and we’d be happy to help!
