Here&#8217;s a comparison of their migration process to help you pick the better option.</span></p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UpdraftPlus</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UpdraftPlus lets you </span><a href=\"https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-do-i-migrate-to-a-new-site-location/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">migrate your website to a new location</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by restoring a backup on another WordPress installation. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Begin by creating a backup of your live site and downloading it. Now, head over to your new WordPress installation and install the UpdraftPlus plugin there. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within UpdraftPlus on the new site, navigate to </span><b>Existing backups</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &gt; </span><b>Upload backup files</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

This process will replace the default WordPress installation on the destination site with your saved backup.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast to the free version, UpdraftPlus Premium allows you to fully customise every aspect of the migration. This includes selecting exactly which plugins and themes you want to transfer. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another advantage of the premium version is you only need to connect two sites once to make multiple migrations in just a few clicks.  </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 22px;\">Duplicator</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to migrate your site using the Duplicator plugin (both free and premium versions), you&#8217;ll need to repeat the same process you followed while creating a backup earlier.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like before, start by generating the package and downloading the package files and installer. Similarly, you&#8217;ll need to build a database on your new server to place your WordPress files.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once done, you can install your Duplicator package to your new host. For this, you have to upload the package files and installer to your website&#8217;s root directory once again.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, you&#8217;ll need to connect and configure the database by entering your new database details. </span></p>\n<p><b>Verdict</b></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While both plugins offer fast and efficient website migrations with their premium versions, their free options differ significantly. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UpdraftPlus allows you to back up by restoring your backups on another WordPress installation. Duplicator&#8217;s free migration process involves a few extra steps. It involves creating a package, downloading files, uploading them to the new server, and configuring the database, which requires more technical steps and time.</span></p>\n<h2 id=\"pricing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UpdraftPlus vs Duplicator: Pricing</span></h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even the most feature-rich plugin might not be ideal if it strains your budget.

It includes backup, restoration, and migration features.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here’s the pricing structure of their premium plans:</span></p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2064500\" src=\"https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/duplicator-pricing.webp\" alt=\"duplicator-pricing-page\" width=\"2494\" height=\"1444\" srcset=\"https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/duplicator-pricing.webp 2494w, https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/duplicator-pricing-1280x741.webp 1280w, https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/duplicator-pricing-980x567.webp 980w, https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/duplicator-pricing-480x278.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2494px, 100vw\" /></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pro plans vary from $49.50 to $299.50 per year. But it&#8217;s important to note that these are just promotional, introductory prices. After the first year of your subscription, the $49.50 Basic plan will cost you $99 annually. Similarly, the most expensive Elite plan renews at $599 per year.</span></p>\n<p><b>Verdict</b></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Duplicator Pro seems like the more affordable option for the first year. But that changes drastically once the renewal comes along. After the initial year, comparable plans from UpdraftPlus become significantly cheaper. So, in the long run, UpdraftPlus might offer better value for money.</span></p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to their backup and migration capabilities, both plugins have plenty of impressive features to explore. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But in the end, </span><a href=\"https://updraftplus.com/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UpdraftPlus</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stands out as the best WordPress plugin for both backups and migrations. It&#8217;s a compelling choice for beginners and experienced users. Duplicator has a steeper learning curve and may require more technical knowledge.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, UpdraftPlus wins on the affordability front. The free version of UpdraftPlus packs more of a punch compared to the free version of Duplicator. The premium version is also more cost-effective at renewal. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you want a reliable solution for stress-free website backups, </span><a href=\"https://updraftplus.com/shop/updraftplus-premium/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">give UpdraftPlus Premium a try</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!</span></p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAQS (Frequently Asked Questions)</span></h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the best free backup plugin for WordPress?</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UpdraftPlus is the best free backup plugin for WordPress, with over 3 million active installs.

By default, UpdraftPlus splits the data into 400MB chunks for better performance. This means that you may have several </span><b>‘uploads</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">’ zip files, such as uploads.zip, uploads2.zip, uploads3.zip, and so on. To complete the restoration process, you will need to unzip and upload all of these files. By doing so, the final </span><b>wp-content/uploads</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> folder will be the result of merging all the unzipped files on top of each other.</span></p>\n<blockquote><p>Make sure you update your database shown in the first method otherwise, your website won’t be functional.</p></blockquote>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final thoughts</span></h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By following the methods shared in this article, you can easily restore your UpdraftPlus backup manually.

Click to open. </span></li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Locate the backup file</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Navigate to the directory where your UpdraftPlus backup files are saved. Usually, it can be found in the </span><b>/wp-content/updraft</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> directory.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, you can Download the file and proceed with any of the methods mentioned above to restore your backups.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is my UpdraftPlus backup not finished?</span></h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There could be several reasons why your </span><a href=\"https://updraftplus.com/how-to-fix-updraftplus-failed-backups/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UpdraftPlus backup is not finishing</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:</span></p>\n<p><b>Large website</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If your website is extensive or contains a large number of files, the backup procedure may require a significant amount of time. Please be patient and allow the backup process to finish.</span></p>\n<p><b>Server resource limits</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: It’s possible that your server has set resource limits that are causing the backup process to time out or fail. We recommend checking with your hosting provider to determine if there are any restrictions on backup processes.</span></p>\n<p><b>Plugin conflict</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Occasionally, conflicts with other plugins can disrupt the backup process. To troubleshoot this, try temporarily disabling other plugins and check if the backup completes successfully.</span></p>\n<p><b>Internet connection</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If you are backing up your website to a remote destination such as Dropbox or Google Drive, a slow or unstable internet connection could also lead to backup failures.</span></p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is error 500 on UpdraftPlus restore?</span></h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you encounter an ‘Error 500,’ it means that there is an issue with the server itself. To resolve this, reach out to your hosting provider or server administrator and request them to examine the PHP error logs.

Update plugin / Plugin conflict </span></h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most common culprits for failed backups is an outdated UpdraftPlus plugin.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though older versions might still function, not keeping your UpdraftPlus plugin updated can lead to various problems, including backup errors.</span></p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2050153\" src=\"https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/updraftplus-plugin-update-1.webp\" alt=\"updraftplus-update-message-in-wordpress-plugins-section\" width=\"1952\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/updraftplus-plugin-update-1.webp 1952w, https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/updraftplus-plugin-update-1-1280x185.webp 1280w, https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/updraftplus-plugin-update-1-980x142.webp 980w, https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/updraftplus-plugin-update-1-480x69.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1952px, 100vw\" /></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another potential issue is when a recently installed plugin conflicts with the UpdraftPlus plugin.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This typically happens because the new plugin loads its own versions of JavaScript libraries or cloud storage APIs on the UpdraftPlus page. These can prevent UpdraftPlus from initiating a backup or uploading backup files to remote storage.</span></p>\n<p><b>Solution</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you have the latest version of UpdraftPlus installed. Regular updates not only resolve bugs but also enhance compatibility with other plugins and WordPress versions. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you experience backup failures after installing a new plugin, deactivate it temporarily. This step can help identify and resolve any compatibility issues that may arise.</span></p>\n<h2 id=\"remote-storage-issues\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Not connected to remote storage location / Remote storage full</span></h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failure to connect to the remote storage location can also result in UpdraftPlus backup failures. If you&#8217;re encountering issues while trying to back up to remote storage, it could be due to various reasons.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One potential cause could be recent updates to your remote storage settings, such as changes in passwords or folder structures. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another possibility is running out of space on the storage platform. Remote storage locations have finite space, and if there isn&#8217;t enough room for UpdraftPlus to save files, your backup might fail to complete.</span></p>\n<p><b>Solution</b></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To troubleshoot this, verify and update your remote storage settings. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For cloud storage services using OAuth verification (such as Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive), you might need to re-authenticate with your storage account.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reconnect to your remote storage location by going through the full &#8216;add remote storage&#8217; process again at UpdraftPlus &gt; <strong>Settings</strong>. This allows you to re-authenticate with your chosen remote storage account.</span></p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2050157\" src=\"https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/select-remote-storage-updraftplus.webp\" alt=\"remote-storage-options-for-site-backups-in-updraftplus-settings\" width=\"1818\" height=\"1006\" srcset=\"https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/select-remote-storage-updraftplus.webp 1818w, https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/select-remote-storage-updraftplus-1280x708.webp 1280w, https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/select-remote-storage-updraftplus-980x542.webp 980w, https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/select-remote-storage-updraftplus-480x266.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1818px, 100vw\" /></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, check your remote storage space availability. In case of insufficient space, consider deleting unnecessary files or purchasing additional storage if required.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After making these adjustments, remember to save your changes and attempt another backup.</span></p>\n<h2 id=\"large-backup-files\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Backup files too big</span></h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A primary technical reason for backup failures is that you&#8217;re trying to back up a file that&#8217;s too large to upload or too large to process on the server. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In cases where files are too large to upload, this can be caused by some plugins creating databases or files that are several hundreds of MB large. Such oversized files can cause UpdraftPlus to time out and not complete the backup.</span></p>\n<p><b>Solution</b></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aim to reduce the backup archive split size to 100MB or lower if possible. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To reduce the archive split size:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to the UpdraftPlus Settings and click on the </span><b>Settings</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tab.</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Navigate to the &#8216;Expert settings&#8217; section and select ‘Show expert settings’.</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set the &#8216;Split archives every&#8217; option to 100MB.</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press the </span><b>Save Changes</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> button at the bottom of the page and perform a test backup. </span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2050158\" src=\"https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/split-up-backup-archives.webp\" alt=\"split-archives-every-option-in-updraftplus-settings\" width=\"1856\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/split-up-backup-archives.webp 1856w, https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/split-up-backup-archives-1280x423.webp 1280w, https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/split-up-backup-archives-980x324.webp 980w, https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/split-up-backup-archives-480x159.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1856px, 100vw\" /></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, suppose you have a large individual file on your site that can&#8217;t be split (like a large video file).

Host/server issues</span></h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the issue of large files was the cause of the backups failing, it might suggest underlying problems with your backup server. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One major problem could be insufficient server resources allocated by your web hosting provider.</span></p>\n<p><b>Solution</b></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider upgrading to a higher-tier hosting platform that dedicates more resources to your website. This upgrade could facilitate quicker and more seamless backups.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the problem persists, there might be other underlying host or server-related issues at play.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend contacting the UpdraftPlus support team to examine PHP error logs. These logs can provide insights into the exact issues causing backup failures.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To find the necessary file, you will need FTP access to the server for a PHP log (also applied to remote storage).

Sometimes, this can be a firewall or security plugin blocking the connection. But the most common reason is the file has been removed. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To resolve this, download the backup from your remote storage and upload it to the backup/restore tab.</span></p>\n<h3>1 backup task(s) have been failed. please switch to log page to send us the debug information</h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To address this issue, switch on debug mode in Settings &gt; Show expert settings.

If you purchased the domain some time ago, there&#8217;s a chance that the domain registration for your website may have expired. This makes your site inaccessible to users, resulting in downtime.</span></p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor web hosting</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The choice of web hosting plays a pivotal role in your website&#8217;s performance. Third-party website hosting is great, but not all hosting providers are the same. Despite promising reliability and uptime guarantees, cheaper web hosting plans often use insufficient resources and outdated IT infrastructure. As a result, the likelihood of hardware failures increases, leading to a higher risk of downtime.</span></p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High website traffic</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your website receives a sudden influx of visitors that surpasses your hosting capacity, downtime can occur. It can also happen during peak traffic times, such as product launches. The overload can strain the server, causing slow performance or temporary unavailability.</span></p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plugin or theme issues</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plugins and themes significantly enhance the functionality of your website. However, problems with plugins or themes on your WordPress site may trigger downtime. This can result from incompatible, outdated, or poorly coded plugins or themes. Similarly, a WordPress theme can conflict with a particular plugin on your website, leading to crashes and site unavailability.</span></p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cyber attacks or malware</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cyber attacks can frequently cause website downtime and are more prevalent than you might assume. These attacks can take various forms, including </span><a href=\"https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ddos/what-is-a-ddos-attack/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a DDoS attack, hackers swamp your website by sending numerous false data requests. This causes the server to slow down and eventually crash.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, malware is malicious software that embeds itself into your WordPress files. It can compromise your site’s functionality, often necessitating a temporary shutdown for a thorough cleanup.</span></p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsuccessful/incomplete WordPress auto-updates</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automatic updates aim to improve your site&#8217;s security and performance. But sometimes, they may encounter issues during the process. If an update is interrupted or fails to complete, it may leave your site unstable, possibly resulting in downtime.</span></p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Custom coding errors</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure the accuracy of your custom CSS, HTML, or other code files on your website. Even a minor syntax error, such as a missing semicolon, can disrupt your site and cause downtime.</span></p>\n<h2 id=\"prevent-downtime-tips\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9 actionable tips to prevent WordPress website downtime</span></h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how do you minimise downtime? Let’s look at a few ways you can prevent WordPress downtime and ensure your website is always up and running.</span></p>\n<h3 id=\"monitor-uptime\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Monitor your website’s uptime</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing to do for downtime prevention is to know if and when your website is experiencing downtime.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if your hosting provider promises a 99.9% uptime guarantee, your website could still go down. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to continuously monitor your website for downtime.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several tools and plugins available that you can use to set up monitoring for your site. These tools allow you to check whether your site is working and take proactive measures against potential downtime.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One effective choice is the uptime monitoring feature in the </span><a href=\"https://aiosplugin.com/product/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall-premium/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All-In-One Security (AIOS) Premium</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plugin.</span></p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2014490 size-large\" src=\"https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/aios-plugin-website-homepage-1024x504.webp\" alt=\"screenshot-of-aios-plugin-homepage-which-allows-you-to-monitor-wordpress-downtime-and-uptime\" width=\"1024\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/aios-plugin-website-homepage-980x482.webp 980w, https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/aios-plugin-website-homepage-480x236.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" /></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AIOS checks your website uptime every 5 minutes. The moment your site/server goes down, it sends you an immediate notification. This rapid alert can let you respond swiftly and minimise the impact of downtime. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And not just alerts, AIOS also provides comprehensive reports showcasing your website&#8217;s uptime history, response times, and even past outages. You can analyse these reports and identify potential issues before they escalate into significant downtime events.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some other tools for uptime monitoring include </span><a href=\"https://tools.pingdom.com/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pingdom</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and </span><a href=\"https://www.site24x7.com/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Site24x7</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These tools also offer a variety of site metrics, including website speed and uptime.</span></p>\n<h3 id=\"regular-backups\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Set up regular backups</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular backups are essential to avoid losing data and minimise downtime in case of unexpected website outages. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if your website crashes while your customers are making a purchase or editing their profiles, they may lose their unsaved changes. This will result in lost sales and a negative user experience.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of the issue, </span><a href=\"https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-do-i-schedule-backups-for-my-files-and-databases\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">creating frequent backups</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lets you quickly restore your site to its previous version if anything goes wrong. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To easily back up your site, you can install a reliable WordPress backup plugin like </span><a href=\"https://updraftplus.com/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UpdraftPlus</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span></p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2014500\" src=\"https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/updraftplus-plugin-website-homepage-1024x494.webp\" alt=\"screenshot-of-updraftplus-homepage-where-you-can-get-the-plugin-and-easily-backup-restore-or-clone-your-wordpress-site\" width=\"1024\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/updraftplus-plugin-website-homepage-980x473.webp 980w, https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/updraftplus-plugin-website-homepage-480x232.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" /></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UpdraftPlus is the highest-rated plugin for managing backups in WordPress.

Pick the right plugins and themes</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As discussed earlier, problems with your website plugins or theme may lead to downtime. Therefore, we don&#8217;t suggest using just any plugin or theme.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To prevent WordPress downtime:</span></p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install well-coded and reputable themes and plugins.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check reviews, ratings, and known compatibility issues.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you&#8217;ve thoroughly examined the new software, feel free to install it.</span></li>\n</ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid any future issues, regularly update your plugins and themes. For this, </span><a href=\"https://easyupdatesmanager.com/buy/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy Updates Manager</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a recommended choice. </span></p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2014510\" src=\"https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/easy-updates-manager-plugin-website-homepage-1024x538.webp\" alt=\"screenshot-of-the-easy-updates-manager-homepage-where-you-can-install-the-plugin-and-automatically-update-your-wordpress-themes-and-plugins\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/easy-updates-manager-plugin-website-homepage-980x515.webp 980w, https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/easy-updates-manager-plugin-website-homepage-480x252.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" /></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://easyupdatesmanager.com/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy Updates Manager</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a powerful WordPress tool that allows you to fully manage updates for all of your plugins and themes.

If something goes wrong during an auto-update, it will alert you via email and then try to fix it automatically. You can also customise your update schedule to minimise any downtime.</span></p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Expert tip:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Uninstall unused themes or plugins to mitigate security risks and prevent server resource consumption that can slow down your site.</span></p></blockquote>\n<h3 id=\"renew-registration\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.

Optimize your website for speed</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor website performance could also cause your site to appear down, even when it&#8217;s up and running.

Consider essential files or photos on your computer—what if it crashes, faces damage, or experiences data loss? Data backup involves duplicating critical digital content and securing it in a safe location. In case of unforeseen events, having these duplicates allows for a swift recovery..</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People use different methods for backup, like throwing everything on an external hard drive or uploading it to the cloud. The idea is to have a Plan B if things go south with your original data.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data backups are essential for businesses and individuals alike, as they can protect against a wide range of data loss scenarios, including:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardware failure</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Software corruption</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Human error</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cyberattacks</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural disasters</span></li>\n</ul>\n<h2 id=\"types-of-data-backup\">Types of data backup<b><br /></b></h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few ways to backup your data. Let&#8217;s break it down:</span></p>\n<p><b>Full backup</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This one&#8217;s easy. You copy everything in your system or file. It&#8217;s like taking a snapshot of your whole digital world.</span></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://updraftplus.com/tell-me-more-about-incremental-backups\"><b>Incremental backup</b></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Saves storage space and processing time by capturing just the modified or newly added information.</span></p>\n<p><b>Differential backup</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This one&#8217;s a mix of both. It copies all the changes since the last full backup, not just the incremental ones. It&#8217;s kind of a sweet spot between a full backup and an incremental one. You can restore things faster than a full backup, but it needs more space than incremental backups.</span></p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comparing different types of data backup</span></h2>\n<table style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: #000000;\" border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Backup type</th>\n<th>Data included</th>\n<th>Restore process</th>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Full</td>\n<td>All data</td>\n<td>Fastest</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Incremental</td>\n<td>Data changed since last full or incremental backup</td>\n<td>Longest</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Differential</td>\n<td>Data changed since last full backup</td>\n<td>Medium</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2 id=\"backup-methods\">Backup methods</h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data backups can be stored in a variety of locations, including:</span></p>\n<p><b>Local backup</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: On servers or storage devices in your own data center or office.</span></p>\n<p><b>Cloud backup</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: In a cloud storage service or at a third-party data center.</span></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://updraftplus.com/shop/googlecloud\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloud backup</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offers a number of advantages over on-premises backup, including:</span></p>\n<h3 id=\"why-cloud-backup-is-becoming-popular\">Why back up to the cloud:<b></b></h3>\n<p><b>Scalability</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Cloud storage services can be scaled up or down as needed, making them ideal for businesses with growing data needs.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br /></span></p>\n<p><b>Availability</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Cloud storage services are typically highly available, meaning that your data is accessible even if there is a disaster at your primary location.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br /></span></p>\n<p><b>Security: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloud storage providers offer a variety of security features to protect your data.

This can lead to cost savings in terms of equipment, maintenance, and energy consumption.</span></p>\n<p><b>Automatic backups</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Many cloud backup solutions offer automated backup schedules, reducing the burden on IT teams and ensuring that data is consistently and regularly backed up without manual intervention.</span></p>\n<h2 id=\"best-practices-for-data-backup\">Best practices for data backup</h2>\n<p><b>Schedule regular backups</b></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-do-i-schedule-backups-for-my-files-and-databases\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Establish a consistent backup schedule</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to ensure that critical data is regularly and systematically backed up. This practice helps minimise the risk of data loss and provides a recent, reliable copy of information in case of unexpected events.</span></p>\n<p><b>Test your backups regularly</b></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regularly test the restoration process of your backups to confirm their integrity and effectiveness. This proactive approach helps identify any issues before they become critical, ensuring that your backup strategy is reliable when needed.</span></p>\n<p><b>Store your backups securely</b></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implement robust security measures for both local and cloud-based backups. Encryption, access controls, and </span><a href=\"https://aiosplugin.com/why-should-you-add-two-factor-authentication-2fa-to-your-wordpress-site-in-2022\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">authentication mechanisms</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should be in place to safeguard sensitive data from unauthorised access or tampering.</span></p>\n<p><b>Follow the 3-2-1 rule</b></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adhere to the 3-2-1 backup strategy, which recommends having three total copies of your data, stored on two different media, with one copy stored offsite. This approach enhances data redundancy and protects against various types of data loss scenarios.</span></p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-disaster-recovery\">What is disaster recovery</h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disaster recovery is like the superhero version of data backup. It&#8217;s not just about files; it&#8217;s about your entire digital life.

This includes security measures, redundancy in critical systems, and regular backups.</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Detective</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Monitoring systems for signs of potential disasters, such as abnormal network activity or security breaches, to identify issues early and initiate a timely response.</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Corrective</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Executing the recovery plan when a disaster occurs. This involves restoring data, systems, and services to their normal functionality as swiftly as possible.</span></li>\n</ol>\n<h2 id=\"disaster-recovery-plan\">Disaster recovery plan</h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A comprehensive disaster recovery plan outlines the processes and procedures an organization will follow to respond to and recover from disasters. It typically includes:</span><b></b></p>\n<p><b>Disaster recovery strategy: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A detailed approach outlining the methods and techniques to be employed for recovery, taking into account the types of disasters that may occur.</span><b><br /></b></p>\n<p><b>Recovery time objective (RTO): </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The maximum acceptable downtime for specific systems or processes. RTO helps organizations determine how quickly they need to recover to avoid significant business impacts.</span><b><br /></b></p>\n<p><b></b><b>Recovery point objective (RPO):</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. RPO defines the point in time to which data must be recovered to resume normal operations without severe consequences.</span></p>\n<h2>Key elements of a disaster recovery plan<b><br /></b></h2>\n<p><b>Business Impact analysis: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conduct a thorough assessment of the potential impact of disasters on various business functions. Identify critical processes, systems, and data, and evaluate the financial and operational consequences of their disruption. This analysis forms the foundation for prioritizing recovery efforts.</span></p>\n<p><b>Risk assessment:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Evaluate potential risks and vulnerabilities that could lead to a disaster. This includes natural disasters, cyber threats, equipment failures, and other potential disruptions. By understanding the risks, organizations can develop targeted strategies for prevention and recovery.</span></p>\n<p><b>Recovery strategy:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Develop a comprehensive strategy outlining the steps and actions to be taken in the event of a disaster. This includes defining recovery objectives, establishing priorities, and specifying the resources needed for effective recovery. Consider different scenarios and tailor strategies to address specific types of disasters.</span></p>\n<p><b>Testing and maintenance:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Regularly test the disaster recovery plan to ensure its effectiveness. Conduct simulations and drills to identify weaknesses and areas for improvement. Additionally, update the plan as the organization evolves, technologies change, and new risks emerge.</span></p>\n<h2 id=\"best-practices-for-disaster-recovery\">Best practices for disaster recovery</h2>\n<p><b>Keep your disaster recovery plan up-to-date:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Regularly review and update your disaster recovery plan to reflect changes in your organization&#8217;s structure, technology, and potential risks. An outdated plan may not be effective in addressing current challenges.</span></p>\n<p><b>Communicate your plan to all stakeholders:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ensure that all relevant stakeholders, including employees, vendors, and key partners, are aware of the disaster recovery plan. Clear communication channels and training sessions can help everyone understand their roles and responsibilities in the event of a disaster.</span></p>\n<p><b>Test your plan regularly:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Regular testing and drills are essential to validate the effectiveness of your disaster recovery plan. Identify and address any shortcomings or areas of improvement that arise during testing to enhance the plan&#8217;s reliability.</span></p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-create-a-disaster-recovery-plan-for-your-wordpress-website\">How to create a disaster recovery plan for your WordPress site</h2>\n<h3>Which WordPress files need to be backed up?</h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When creating a disaster recovery plan for your WordPress website, it&#8217;s crucial to identify and prioritize the files that need to be backed up.

This means moving all your website&#8217;s files and databases to a new server. It&#8217;s something you might consider if your business is growing, your current hosting plan is limited in resources, or if your website is experiencing slow loading times and frequent downtime.</p>\n<p>Changing hosts can be necessary to accommodate increased traffic and improve performance. However, it&#8217;s a complex process that needs to be done correctly to avoid losing content and your <a href=\"https://updraftplus.com/how-to-move-your-site-using-updraftplus-migrator-without-losing-google-ranking\">rankings in search engine results</a>.</p>\n<p>Website migration involves making significant changes to your website&#8217;s technology, structure, design, or even its location to enhance its online visibility. It&#8217;s not a decision to be taken lightly, as it can be quite challenging.</p>\n<h2 id=\"why-you-might-need-to-migrate-your-wordpress-website\">Why you might need to migrate your WordPress website</h2>\n<p>Website migration can take various forms, such as:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Host change</strong>: Transferring your entire website from one web hosting service to another while keeping the same domain name.</li>\n<li><strong>Domain change</strong>: Changing your domain name.</li>\n<li><strong>Uploading new site</strong> &#8211; Moving your website from your local host to an online server.</li>\n<li><strong>CMS or framework change</strong> &#8211; Transitioning from another content management system to WordPress, or the other way around, requires migration of content and functionality.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Each of these types of migrations serves a different purpose and involves specific steps to ensure a smooth transition. While website migration can be necessary to address various issues, it&#8217;s important to approach it with caution, as there are potential risks, including the possibility of losing some or all of your website&#8217;s functionality.</p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Expert tip: </strong>Use Google Search Console to identify host issues</p></blockquote>\n<p>Did you know Google Search Console has this cool feature? It can tell you if your hosting setup is giving Google&#8217;s crawlers a hard time. It&#8217;s like having a detective for your website!

It&#8217;s your website&#8217;s way of saying, &#8220;Help me help you!&#8221;</p>\n<h2 id=\"how-long-does-a-wordpress-site-migration-take\">How long does a WordPress site migration take?</h2>\n<p>The duration of a WordPress site migration can vary depending on several factors. On average, a straightforward migration from one hosting provider to another typically takes between 1 to 4 hours.</p>\n<p>However, more complex migrations or those involving larger websites may take longer, potentially several hours or even a day or two. Note that you’ll have to wait for your DNS records to propagate worldwide. This may take up to 72 hours.</p>\n<h2 id=\"checklist-for-a-successful-wordpress-site-migration\">Checklist for a successful WordPress site migration</h2>\n<p>Planning ahead is the key to a successful website migration, and it can save you from potential issues down the road. Our goal is to make the entire process as straightforward as possible.</p>\n<p>This WordPress migration checklist is here to guide you through each step, ensuring a hassle-free move. Whether you&#8217;re a technical expert or a beginner, this checklist will help you navigate the process with ease.</p>\n<p>We will divide the migration process in 3 parts:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>What to do before migration</li>\n<li>What to do during migration</li>\n<li>What to do after migration</li>\n</ol>\n<h2 id=\"word-press-migration-checklist\">WordPress migration checklist</h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<h3>Pre WordPress migration checklist</h3>\n</th>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Back up your existing website <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Set up your new hosting account or domain <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Choose the right time for the migration <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Inform your audience about the move <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Put your WordPress site in maintenance mode <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Disable caching, security, and redirect plugins <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<h3>What to check during a WordPress migration</h3>\n</th>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Point your domain name to your new host <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Create a copy of your website <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Update your hosts file <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Create a new database <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Migrate your files and database <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<h3>Post WordPress migration checklist</h3>\n</th>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Check your new website’s speed and functionality <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Scan for broken links <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Add redirects <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Update your DNS <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Check Google Search Console &amp; analytics <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Test your SSL certificate <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Perform search and replace on your database <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Close your old hosting account <input type=\"checkbox\" /></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h2 id=\"what-to-do-before-migrating-your-wordpress-site\">What to do before migrating your WordPress site</h2>\n<h3 id=\"backup-your-existing-site\">1. Back up your existing website</h3>\n<p>Before you jump into website migration, take a crucial step and <a href=\"https://updraftplus.com/how-to-backup-a-wordpress-site-step-by-step-guide\">back up your existing WordPress site</a>. This backup is your safety net in case anything goes haywire during the migration process. It&#8217;s like having a reset button for your site.</p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve got a couple of options:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Many web hosts include backup services</li>\n<li>Use a <a href=\"https://updraftplus.com\">backup plugin</a> like UpdraftPlus.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Alternatively, you can go old-school and manually back up your files using an FTP client like FileZilla. Don&#8217;t forget to back up your database too; you can do this through phpMyAdmin in your hosting account. Once that&#8217;s done, stash your backups in a safe spot. This way, if anything goes south during migration, you can easily restore your site to its former glory.</p>\n<h3 id=\"set-up-your-new-hosting\">2. Set up your new hosting account or domain</h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re switching to a new web host, follow these steps:</p>\n<p><strong>Step 1</strong>: Choose the right hosting plan for your needs.<br />\n<strong>Step 2</strong>: Log into your hosting control panel.<br />\n<strong>Step 3</strong>: Install WordPress (many providers offer one-click installations).</p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re changing your domain name, you can either purchase one through a domain registrar or, in some cases, get a free domain from your new web host.</p>\n<p>Before you start your migration, make sure you have the following information readily available:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Login details for your old and new hosting control panels.</li>\n<li>Login details for your old and new website.</li>\n<li>Nameserver information for the new web host.</li>\n<li>Login information for your domain registrar.</li>\n<li>FTP/SFTP credentials.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Having this information readily available will make your website migration more efficient. You don&#8217;t want to waste time searching for login credentials during the process.</p>\n<h3 id=\"choose-the-right-time\">3. Choose the right time</h3>\n<p>When it comes to migrating your website, timing is crucial. A well-planned migration should aim to minimize any negative impact on your site&#8217;s performance. Although a slight dip in traffic may be inevitable, you can significantly reduce this by choosing the right time for the migration.</p>\n<h3>What to consider when choosing the time to migrate your site</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>When Site traffic is low</strong>: Schedule your migration during lower traffic periods like weekends, late nights, or off-peak hours to minimize user inconvenience.</li>\n<li><strong>Consider time zone</strong>: Consider time zone differences when your audience is global; for instance, if you&#8217;re in Europe but cater to Asian users, migrate during their off-peak hours.</li>\n<li><strong>Business-specific timing</strong>: Choose a migration time that suits your business hours. If you&#8217;re a B2B company closed on weekends or if your busiest hours are between 3:00 and 8:00 PM, consider scheduling the migration during weekends or late nights and early mornings.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 id=\"inform-your-audience-about-the-move\">4. Inform your audience about the move</h3>\n<p>When you&#8217;re getting ready for your website move, don&#8217;t forget to give your audience a heads-up to keep things smooth. Just drop them a friendly note about the scheduled maintenance, say sorry for any hiccups, and maybe shoot out an email or post on social media to keep everyone in the loop.</p>\n<p>This way, you can nudge your customers to make their purchases early, prevent them from wandering off to competitors, and keep things looking pro, especially if you&#8217;re running an online shop. It&#8217;s all about making the transition as hassle-free as possible and not messing with your cash flow.</p>\n<h3 id=\"enable-maintenance-mode\">5. Enable maintenance mode</h3>\n<p>Put your site in maintenance mode. This nifty move stops anyone, especially if you have a multi-author blog or website, from messing with your content while you&#8217;re making changes. It&#8217;s like locking the door when you&#8217;re doing renovations inside. Visitors won&#8217;t be able to see or interact with your content, and your writers won&#8217;t accidentally publish or edit posts.</p>\n<h3 id=\"disable-caching-security-redirect-plugins\">6. Disable caching, security, and redirect plugins</h3>\n<p>Make sure to turn off any caching, security, or redirect plugins that are active on your site. While these plugins are usually great for your site&#8217;s regular operation, they can cause hiccups during migration. For example, security plugins might set up firewalls that block essential migration requests.</p>\n<p>If you forget to disable these, you might end up with 403 Forbidden or 500 Internal Server errors, and we definitely want to avoid those. Don&#8217;t worry, though; you can always reactivate these plugins once your website is happily settled in its new home. So, for now, just switch them off and enjoy a trouble-free migration.</p>\n<h2 id=\"what-to-do-during-a-wordpress-migration\">What to do during a WordPress migration</h2>\n<p>Using a migration plugin can take away a lot of the hassle involved in manually migrating your WordPress site. Follow our expert guide on <a href=\"https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-do-i-migrate-to-a-new-site-location\">migrating your site with UpdraftPlus free and premium versions</a> for a hassle free migration.</p>\n<p>If you’re set on migrating your site manually, follow the steps below to make sure you’ve got everything covered:</p>\n<h3 id=\"point-your-domain-to-new-host\">1. Point your domain name to your new host</h3>\n<p>First off, you need to point your domain name to your new host. Think of Domain Name System (DNS) records as the backstage pass connecting your domain name to the server that houses your website. These records often include cryptic-looking host names like:</p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<li>ns1.hostname.com</li>\n<li>ns2.hostname.com</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Before you can determine if your migration was a success, you&#8217;ve got to make sure your domain name is pointing to your new host. If you&#8217;re lucky enough to have a web host offering free migrations, they&#8217;ll likely handle the nameserver updates automatically.</p>\n<p>However, if you&#8217;re taking the manual migration route and using a domain registrar, you&#8217;ll need to dive into your account settings and tinker with those DNS settings. Keep in mind that updates to DNS records can take up to 48 hours to propagate, although it&#8217;s usually much quicker.</p>\n<p>You can even use tools like DNS checkers to see when your domain name is fully connected.</p>\n<h3 id=\"create-new-database\">2. Create a new database</h3>\n<p>You&#8217;ll need to create a fresh database and add a new user. After that, it&#8217;s time to upload your old database using the Import tab. But there&#8217;s one more important step – you&#8217;ve got to tweak your wp-config.php file to make sure your site knows about the new database.</p>\n<p>Now go to your new hosting account&#8217;s cPanel, find the Databases section, and click on MySQL Databases. From there, create that new database and add a user. Now, you can bring in your old database through the Import tab.</p>\n<p>Lastly, find your website&#8217;s wp-config.php file in your site&#8217;s main folder. Open it up and look for these lines:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>define(&#8216;DB_NAME&#8217;, &#8216;db_name&#8217;);</li>\n<li>define(&#8216;DB_USER&#8217;, &#8216;db_user&#8217;);</li>\n<li>define(&#8216;DB_PASSWORD&#8217;, &#8216;db_pass&#8217;);</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Now, just replace &#8216;db_name,&#8217; &#8216;db_user,&#8217; and &#8216;db_pass&#8217; with the actual database name, username, and password you created for the new database. That&#8217;s the ticket to getting your new website all set up. Easy, right?</p>\n<h3 id=\"migrate-files-and-database\">3. Migrate your files and database</h3>\n<p>Alright, it&#8217;s file-moving time! You&#8217;ll want to transfer all your website files to your new hosting provider. To make this happen, you can use FTP (that&#8217;s like a super handy file transfer tool) or, if your host has it, a built-in file manager. One little thing to remember: since your domain still points to your old hosting provider, you might need to use the IP address to connect to your new server.</p>\n<p>Now, the easy part. In your FTP client, just drag and drop all the stuff from your WordPress folder on your computer into the root directory on your new server. Then, you wait. It&#8217;s like moving your website furniture to a new house. And here&#8217;s a time-saving trick: if your hosting provider lets you unzip files, go ahead and zip &#8217;em up before uploading. You&#8217;ll just need to unzip them once they&#8217;re on the new server. It&#8217;s all about getting your site settled in its new online home.</p>\n<h3 id=\"update-url-references\">4. Update URL references</h3>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the last thing to consider, and it&#8217;s pretty straightforward. You only need to do this if you&#8217;re changing your website&#8217;s domain during the migration. If you&#8217;re not, you can totally skip this step.</p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re moving your WordPress site and changing the web address, you need to update the references in your database. This makes sure everything points to the right place in your new home on the web. But remember, if your domain isn&#8217;t changing, you can happily move on without worrying about this part.</p>\n<h2 id=\"what-to-check-after-migrating-wordpress\">What to check after migrating your WordPress site</h2>\n<p>Once your WordPress migration is complete, there are a few essential steps to ensure everything runs smoothly:</p>\n<p><strong>1. Speed and functionality:</strong> Check your new website&#8217;s speed and functionality. Make sure it&#8217;s as fast and responsive as it should be.</p>\n<p><strong>2. Broken links:</strong> Scan for broken links and fix them promptly to maintain a seamless user experience. You can try using tools like Screaming Frog to check if there is any broken URL.</p>\n<p><strong>3. Redirects:</strong> Set up redirects to guide users and search engines from old URLs to their new equivalents.</p>\n<p><strong>4. Google Search Console &amp; Analytics:</strong> Now that you&#8217;ve migrated your website, it&#8217;s not time to kick back and relax just yet. You&#8217;ll want to keep a watchful eye on your Google Search Console and Analytics accounts. Check in regularly to spot any errors or shifts in your website traffic that might raise a flag. These could be signs of something going amiss, and it&#8217;s always better to catch issues early so you can fix them pronto. Stay vigilant, and your website will keep running smoothly.</p>\n<p><strong>5. SSL certificate:</strong> Test your SSL certificate to ensure a secure connection for your visitors. After a migration, it&#8217;s a good idea to check that your SSL certificate is still doing its job. Here&#8217;s how: open your website in an incognito window, and if your SSL certificate is in good shape, you&#8217;ll spot a little padlock icon next to your site&#8217;s URL. That padlock is your sign that everything&#8217;s secure.</p>\n<p><strong>6. Database search and replace:</strong> If you&#8217;re switching to a new domain name during your website migration, there&#8217;s a little housekeeping to do. You&#8217;ve got to swap out the old domain name with the shiny new one all across your database. For example, changing &#8220;yourolddomain.com&#8221; to &#8220;yournewdomain.com.&#8221; But here&#8217;s the twist: you can&#8217;t just do a simple find-and-replace in the database because that might mess up some serialized values. No worries, though! Just reach for handy tools like the Database Search and Replace Script in PHP. It&#8217;ll do the trick and keep things smooth as butter.</p>\n<p><strong>7.
