To start this process, go to the wp-admin dashboard.
Then install the wpvivid backup migration plugin.
After activating, the plugin page will appear.
You will see the backup and restore options from these two different places.
Now click on "Backup now" from the plugin dashboard.
It will start taking a backup file immediately.
It may take several minutes, based on your website size.
Backup finished.
If you scroll down you will see the backup file here.
We need to download the backup files now.
Click on the download button.
Here you will see the backup files here. Here I have one backup file because of having a small website. You may see multiple files. Download all the files from here.
Download done.
Now we need to set up our new hosting with our current domain.
First of all, open the login details of your newly purchased hosting. Normally they send this server information and login details when you buy the hosting.
Here you will see the server IP, nameservers, and cpanel login details.
If you ever failed to get this, then contact your new hosting provider. They will send you that again.
After finding that email or this information, go to your domain registrar company.
We need to change the domain nameserver of it.
Copy the new nameservers from your email, and replace the old nameservers.
Nameserver changed successfully.
Now our domain will be connected with our new host. But this process is not instant.
The domain and hosting will be connected within 48 hours. But normally 1 hour is enough.
Let it happen silently. We will install WordPress on our new hosting now.
Copy the server IP address.
And paste it with a cpanel directory.
And copy the cpanel username and password to log in.
Click here.
Then click install.
Now select HTTPS, and choose the domain name.
Blank the subdirectory.
Remember the admin username and password, we will need this later.
Scroll down, and click install.
WordPress is installed successfully. Now we will wait for several hours so that the domain connects to the new hosting.
After an hour, we will visit your website. This time I am refreshing the page.
Look, if you don't see any change to your website design, then you can be sure that the domain and new hosting is still did not connected.
Normally 1 hour is enough for this, but if you have a hurry then you can use VPN to work early.
Let us connect to a VPN and check our website.
Here I am using a VPN extension in a different browser, you can use VPN software for this too.
Look, our domain is now showing like this. If you wait and check your website constantly for several hours, then you may see this interface in your main browser. If you don't have VPN, then please wait for several hours for showing this interface.
Go to wp-admin login.
Log in with your username and password you used while installing WordPress.
Now install and activate the wpvivid migration plugin here.
Scroll down, and click upload.
And upload the backup file you just downloaded.
Upload done.
Now under the backup section, you will find the backup file.
Click on Restore.
The restoration process is being started.
Restore completed successfully.
It logged out automatically.
Let's check the website homepage first.
Well, the webpage is finely loading.
Which means migration of WordPress site to the new host is done.
If you check in your main browser, then you will see you had only these themes. Those default themes were not installed.
But when you come to VPN enabled browser, the default themes will be visible. Actually, when you see the default themes in your original website, then you can start editing or making any changes to your website.
I prefer to wait a day after restoration.
After 6 hours, I am entering to my website from my primary browser, let's see what happens.
Yes, on the themes page, I am seeing the default themes. This means my website is now live with new host.

You do not change the name servers until you have actually put up your new website.
Yaa, rest all was good and helpful, but we should first upload our website then change the name servers
Best simplest way of backup and restore in all over the world. thanks buddy❤❤❤❤
Great job! I tried using the host service site to migrate my website and it was a total bust. This worked the first time!

None of the plugins I used were 100% fool proof, and they try to get you to buy the premium package. I migrated my site off my home server using VS Code. No plugins whatsoever.
If hosting was moved and before I could back up the website… I lost access to admin section. How do I move forward? Website is live, but parts are not functional.
Nice TUT, thx. I have 1 problem; media gallery did not take it, idk why...
Thanks a lot, best method so far! 🤝👏👏👏
Amazing. This worked. Thank you so much.
thank you! one thing to note that if your old site was hosted in an older php version, you might have to downgrade the php version in the new host.
thanks for a great video!

This is very useful and easy to learn. thanks
will it backup everything including the plugins and plugin settings?
Thanks! Should I delete the wpvivid plugin for wp dashboard? Also it creates a file in cpanel what about it?
After the migration you can simply delete the plugin. But i prefer to use this for regular backup.
Thank you
Thank you brother you help me lot ❤
Ok ....what about previous wp account...the website still hosted on previous one?
@2:13 does incoming mail server = Nameserver ?
I can only find incoming mail server.
This video is very useful I really recommend this video this plugin is also very use I use this first time and it is very useful ❤

thanks bro
thanks , it was helpful
well done, thank you!
Great video...Thanks...just one question now, what do you do if you have more than one file to download and how do you upload all at the same time?
What about webmail, will that work properly as working on previous hosting or that will configure again manually?
Do plugins transfer with it?
Question. Will the darabase be auto created in the new host when restoring?
Great content, thank you.
In my case I have a website associated with two subdomains and I cannot lose none of them. One of the subdomains' WordPress site is even more important than the WordPress site on the main domain, as the subdomain has much more organic traffic on Google than the main domain. So, I would like to know how to proceed in order to move the WordPress site on the subdomain from my old host to SiteGround? I am guessing that if I change the nameservers on my domain registrar all of my sites on the old host will no longer be live, so how to proceed in order to move the websites of the main domain and both the websites of the subdomains to SiteGround?
Worked Very well!

Hello to you Sir!

Same in my case, I had multiple files, I uploaded all and restored but site crashed and I could not reach admin log in. All I had was error
Thanks buddy
thanks a lot..
Hey does the migration restore my old emails?
thank you
WPVivid tool failed. Appeared to work but getting all sorts of 504s 503s and 502s and database error connections. Will try a different plugin next time. Have to migrate nameservers back to original host. Oof.
does this work for web mails too or i have to creat new web emails
my website back up downloaded in four places, during restoration am i to upload all the four downloaded file?
Does this work with multipress networks?
I am facing a problem A key is required..?
Thanks
Is that works for wordpress WooCommerce website also ?
thanks
Good video. Can I use same domain like previous?
Sure...
Is it normal to have 2 backup files? (part 1 and part 2)
Yes normal. Sometime your website size is too big, then wpvivid divide that backup in multiple part.
@@WpWiki thanks!
Does this plugin work if we migrate the wp to different URL?

Yes, 100% safe
Hi, I've 2 websites that are suspended by my hosting provider including the domain names, Now I don't want to give him money to renew the domain & hosting because he's really expensive, How can i migrate my those 2 websites to new hosting provider??
Do you have the backup files? It yes, then fine. & get a new cheap professional hosting provider company. I prefer a company which provides free migration service.
URL : www.rebrand.ly/dreamhost/ing
The file is 200mb but during download it only downloads 100mb sometimes and sometimes less. Why is that? Internet speed is also fine
Does the downloading process stopped after 100mb?
@@WpWiki no. Sometimes it's only 60mb. Then it completes downloading. Sometimes 100mb. It doesn't download the whole 200 mb file.
is this the same as moving from web hosting to a new web hosting ?
Yes
Is it possible to use the backup on other websites
Yes
its actually your cache why it takes an hour, use another computer and it updates nearly instantly. less than a minute or two.
Thanks for sharing 💝💝
My posts are not restored😭😭
This video is not current...
Please tell me. All of articles & seo of content, theme, layout & plugin will be same in after migration. & Ranking on Google will be affected or no..?
Everything will be fine 😊
All Plug will be migration too ?
Yes, complete website will.

How can he possibly know?@@mr.sandeepkothari2067
Max allowed packet = 3MB is too small😢
You can increase it manually from cPanel
What's with the robot voice?
Can I migrate WordPress website if the hosting got expired and suspended??
Sure you can. You must have the backup file.
An error occurs after restore
“There has been a critical error on your website.”
This has a different solution. Increase "wp memory limit", file upload size etc
But my upload file is just 80mB
Do i need to create any database
@@WpWikithanks for your instant reply
Memory_limit is - 1024M
Upload_max_filesize = 1024M
Above is the size set
