   In the next step, Windows users need to go to Programs » All Programs » Accessories, right click on Notepad and select Run as Administrator. A Windows UAC prompt will appear, and you need to click on Yes to launch Notepad with administrator privileges.

   On the Notepad screen, go to File » Open and then go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. Select hosts file and open it.

   I’m having trouble with this step. Can anyone shed any light?

     Hi Shane,

     You just need to open the Notepad app as an administrator so that you can edit the hosts file.

   Sadly, this didn’t work for me either. I deleted all the website files as directed , uploaded to the installer.php file and package but when I went to website.com/installer.php I was served a 404 error: Not Found

   The requested URL /installer.php was not found on this server.

   I think it’s easier to just transfer the website the old fashioned way, as others have mentioned. No need for any scripts that might not work.

     Please disregard my comment. I later noticed the root folder was set to httpdocs. So created a folder, named it httpdocs and put the package and installer.php in there. Then the website.com/installer.php worked no problem. All went very smoothly thereafter.

     Hello Max,

     Actually it did work for me in the end. I am guessing that you moved the installer and archive to your new host , correct ?

     Please look up the IP address from cpanel or equiv of the new host and try accessing via the IP address

     http://IPAddress/installer.php

   Seems like a good tutorial, but I had no luck with it. There are also a few steps/screens in the Duplicator sequence that were different from mine. The end result was, I got a 404 error upon clicking Site Login – Login to finalize the setup in Step 4 of 4 of the Test Site screen. This differs substantially from the above. Top right corner there’s a version number of 1.2.30. Fairly certain I have the most up to date version of the plugin. If I use File Manager to view the contents of public_html I don’t see the normal list of wp files that I think I should see aside from a wp-snapshots directory, a few web.config files, some installer files and the archive.zip…oh and database.sql. So something has clearly gone wrong, but I’m at a loss to understand what. So…there it is.

     Let me guess, you tried to move from a Wordpress.com site? Duplicator & Duplicator Pro wont work for wp.com sites. Nothing works unless you use one of two host sites that they recommend. Duplicator after lots of help, ended up giving me a refund.

   Great article.

   Friends, How do I make it work for an Addon Domain. I took a new plan with GoDaddy and now need to move my sites there. What entry do I make in my hosts file to navigate to install.php ? Thank you,

   Yanıtla

   • Nandan Jha

     I tried it with my AddOn Domain. It worked for me over a couple of iterations. The thing to take care of is to supply the right ‘domain name’ at Step 3 (or Step 4). The default value which it picks is ‘primarydomain.com/addondomain’. Delete the default value and put addondomain.com

     Thanks.

   I recently switched hosts and my original hosting plan has expired. I failed to create a back up before it expired. I do have a local copy of my site on my computer (I use Dreamweaver for FTP). Is there any way to recreate the site with the local files?

     Hi Sean,
     Try using WayBack Machine – it takes snapshots of websites over time…
     You may be able to grab the source code, images etc… and recreate it from that. I’ve had to do that a few times for clients who have come to me after they have lost contact with their developer…

       Hi there,
       I have used the Wayback machine and was able to make a copy of my site. Unfortunately I have found myself involved with an unsavory company that had other plans for my business (selling their services on my site) without full disclosure in the beginning. I am now tasked with finding a new programmer to finish the site although it is in wordpress. I do not have wordpress at this time as I was not developing the site; however my understanding from these posts is that if I move the site to another host, I should be able to access wordpress. Is that correct?

    I have another question:

    In the text it says:

    “At this point, you’ve created a complete copy of your WordPress database and files on your new hosting server. But your domain still points to your old web hosting account.

    To update your domain, you need to switch your DNS nameservers. This ensures that your users are taken to the new location of your website when they type your domain into their browsers.

    If you registered your domain with your hosting provider, then it’s best to transfer the domain to the new host.”

    I thought that when i buy a new hosting space, i also and immediatly have to name a doman name. As in: buying a hosting space is always linken to buying a domain. So the new ip addres which i have uploaded my old site to, and which i have to link to my old doman name, already HAS a (newly bought) domain name.

    Or can i buy a hosting space, ánd get an IP address which i can use in this tutorial, without it already having a domain name?

    Regards, Navajo

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Navajo,

      It is a common misconception. Hosting and domain name are two different services and you can buy them from two different companies. On the same page where hosting companies offer you to register domain name, they also show another option to indicate that you already have a domain name and you can continue without registering a new one.

      For more details please see our detailed guide on What is a domain name and how do domains work?

      Shadat – this is quite an old article now – and you don’t give very much to go on – I would seek help from your hosting company, or get onto a WordPress discussion forum where there are active people who may be able to help you.
      But if you are getting a database connection error message, it is generally because the database name/user or password is incorrect
      I would try one of the backup tools like Duplicator and see if that works better for you.

      Yanıtla

    • Slade

      Did you set up a new database and user on your new host?

      You must make sure the database name and user and password are all correct for the new host.

      Usually a database connection error is a simple oversight like a mispelling or something simple like that.

15. Michael Goriany

    Thanks for this excellent tutorial
    If I have well understood, the hosts file (Step 4) is providing for 100% uptime only for the Webmanager but not for the public
    How can the DNS switchover time be shortened, or how can the downtime for the public be avoided ?

    Yanıtla

    • Slade

      Editing the host file allows you to see your site at your new host. Until you update your dns nameservers the public will go to the old host.

      The time it takes for dns changes to updare (propagate) is not something that can be controlled. However this guide is correct in providing a no down time solution.

      What is happening on the backend that the public does not see is that your website is being hosted at two hosts. The nameservers tell the public which host they are viewing the site on. During the dns update process the users will still view the site at the old host until the propogation is complete.

      Once the dns change officially kicks in the public will then be viewing the site at your new host.

      Again, to provide the no downtime transfer you would need to change your host file on your local machine (tells your computer you want to view the site at the new host).

      This allows you to do the actual install of your website on the new host.

      Hope that helps

    i had to move a client’s site off our subdomain into their own hosting overnight and this REALLY REALLY saved my life! Especially as the domain needed to be repointed seamlessly! I only had trouble with the FTP, i dunno what was wrong with all the logins but i couldn’t get it working. Thankfully my hoster always has an awesome file manager on cpanel.

    So yes, very nearly seamless, i’m just testing out the contact forms now which seems to need the DNS switchover time in order to function properly…
    And one thing to add, Duplicator has changed the SQL database setup to Step 2 in their latest version, which really made me freak out a bit there.

    Thanks very much for the detailed and extremely godsent tutorial!

    This is a well put together article, nice job guys!

    Just as an FYI for users reading through the comments, any comment pre-dated 12-6-2016 does not pertain to the article above or the Duplicator plugin specifically.

    This article was originally written using the Backup Buddy plugin and has since been updated and rewritten using the Duplicator plugin. This should help clear-up any confusion should some of the comments not really make sense or refer to topics not covered in the article.

29. Mark Rudder

    This is an excellent tutorial.
    I also believe this is the easiest and fastest way to to migrate a site.
    Migrating DB files and tables with phpMyAdmin is the long way around.
    Using Duplicator or BackupBuddy is way less work and you are less prone to mistakes that way.

    You need to change DNS no matter what method you choose, so that aspect can’t be counted as far as which method is best.

    Changing TTL settings to 1 hour (3600 seconds) as Dave Porter pointed out is the only missing piece of the puzzle. (even though that is not essential to success)

    Yanıtla

30. Augusto

    Nice article, guys!

    I feel that the most critical point migrating a site to another host is the email service. If the default email solution provided by host need to be replaced, a lot of work will came.

    Thanks!

    hello,

    Would this procedure also work for sub domains?
    I have an add on domain to transfer with about 10 related sub domains.
    Thank you

    Yanıtla

32. Dave Porter

    A few days before I move a domain, I go into the DNS settings and change the TTL settings to 1 hour (3600 seconds), so that the site will move quickly (and do it overnight – so the new location will show for everyone in the morning)
    (I was expecting this to be mentioned in the article when I saw the title!)

    And to answer Dave’s question you can have as many entries in your Hosts file as you want – I have a reseller account with my hosting company and I’m often working on 2 or more sites I am working on that are located on a different server. You can’t specify a sub-directory in the entry – the one entry will point to all locations for that domain – to do what you want to do you are better using sub-domains – so for example example.com is the main location, then you can have play1.example.com as a sub domains that will have it’s own hosts entry.

    Another article – directly related to this one, but sufficiently different to warrant its own separate article – would be “Replacing A Legacy Website with a Fully-Developed WordPress Website.”

    This has happened to me several times already. I have clients with older, legacy-type (non-WordPress) websites, and they ask me to convert their site to WordPress.

    I have two methods I use to do this, and one of them involves building the brand new WordPress site on a temporary development URL. When it is done, I then need to transfer it to the existing URL for the client.

    In other words, I develop it at DevelopmentSite, and when it is done, I then move it to ExistingLegacySite

    I should think it would be easier to do this than the procedure outlined in your article above, but it would still be helpful for you to do an article on this type of migration.

    Thanks.

    Yanıtla

35. Dave

    Correct me if I’m missing something, but this ‘hosts file change’ will only work if you have a just one site on your plan at that new IP address. I have several low-usage sites I’m hosting on one plan. They are in subdirectories under phulic_html.

    So doing this:
    192.168.1.22 http://www.example.com
    in the hosts file will not specify which of your 5 sites to point to. And it seems the only thing you can specify in the hosts file is an IP address and a URL.
    You can’t do something like this:
    192.168.1.22/sitea http://www.example.com

    Am I wrong?

    Yanıtla

    • Felipe

      I think this is correct, it won’t work for shared domains.

      It is better explained here: the voted answer says “If you have shared hosting, this will make your site inaccessible by direct IP. In a shared hosting environment, the host (GoDaddy) will have multiple websites living at the same IP address. When a browser requests a website, the server relies on the domain name to determine which of the many websites to serve. Without a domain name, the server has no way to tell what the browser actually wants so you don’t get your website. To avoid this situation, you will need a host to give you exclusive use of an IP address.”

      I think this should be highlighted in the article.

      Yanıtla

      • WPBeginner Support

        Once you have added your domain name to your new host, your webserver knows that it is hosting domain name example.com and it’s root directory (Doesn’t matter if it is also hosting other domains as well). However, DNS servers take time to propagate so instead of sending your request to your new webserver, they will be sending users to old location for a while. The hosts file allows you to send your request directly to the new server. Hope this clears the confusion.

    • Matt Davis

      Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe you can type in (directly in the browser’s address bar) the IP address followed by a slash (/) and then the sub-directory of whichever site you’re trying to access. I would avoid changing the hosts file altogether. Most hosting companies I’ve used will also usually assign temporary URLs to each new website as well, so if that’s the case you could use that instead of the IP or messing with the hosts file.

      Yanıtla

      • Niko

        That’s correct MATT. Temporary using the IP address instead of altering the hosts file seems like a better approach. However, both work fine.

    I’ve tried for four hours to make these instructions work. The result? Now I can’t access my site at my old host. I tried following the directions on this 2-year-old article (will there be an update, since BackupBuddy has evolved?) and now everything is messed up.

    I used FTP to upload the files, and edited the host file as instructed, but the ImportBuddy PHP script won’t run. It just shows me the code. I tried contacting Bluehost for assistance, and they were no help. So I tried setting all my other settings back to where they were before I started this odyssey, and now I can’t see my site at all.

    A few questions for you:

    1. Isn’t there a SIMPLE way to back up one site (themes, child themes, plugins, and post data), then restore it to another site?

    It truly should be as simple as (a) Backup To (dropbox mysite.zip), then (b) Restore From (dropbox mysite.zip).

    2. Is it possible, perhaps even EASY, to develop a client’s WP site on your development server, then use Backup Buddy (or some other backup/restore program) to migrate it to the client’s site?

    3. Does Backup Buddy, or any other backup/restore program you know of, give you the ability to restore to an existing WP installation? In other words, can you set it to restore everything except the WP core files?

    Thanks for this article.

    As soon as you figure out that your new domain has regained the search positions for your old site. We hope that you have setup 301 redireccts on old domain otherwise search engines wouldn’t know that your old content has moved to the new domain permanently.

      Hi there, thanks for your tutorial, here’s an other way of doing it… free.

      1. Tools > export posts and pages from admin panel. If you also need the DB phpMyAdmin export tables from the db. Import them in the new db. Check for the extension of the tables to be the same (_wp for instance)

      2. edit your virtual host config file, add what follows between your server {}

      allow your_public_ip;
      deny all;

      3. Access the site by its ip. (make sure you set the ip of your new server instead of the url in phpmyadmin > wp_options > siteurl and home options)
      4. Tools > import posts and pages
      5. Change your DNS records at the old host.
      6. Done. Use another plugin like UpdraftPlus to backup for free.

    Great guide. I can confirm these steps work brilliantly as I recently moved a 5 year old WP site from one domain to another domain and swapped web hosts as well.
    The only difference I did was redirect the old site to the new site via the .htaccess as I wasn’t migrating the old domain name over at the time.
    Out of curiosity how long would you leave it before deleting all the old content from the old domain and setting up a permanent URL redirect via your registrar?

      I was looking for this. This already assumes knowledge of FTP etc. so why not just:
      1. Copy over all files (download locally, upload to new server).
      2. Export the DB (you can use Migrate DB free version if you can’t access the old hosts phpmyadmin or such). Also, if you’re moving from a different domain it replaces the urls etc.
      3. Create a new DB on your new host, import the DB.
      4. Transfer the domain.

      Same result, no fiddling with installer scripts and such.

        This is how I would do it.. In addition, you would also need to edit your wp-config.php file with the new DB info (Specifically the database host entry, as I believe importing the old database will create the same database name, user and password on the new one). Also, I would avoid editing your hosts file and instead either use the IP address directly in your browser’s address bar followed by your sub-directory name (if needed) or use the temporary URL most hosters provide when a new account is set up.

        The steps in this article are good for someone that doesn’t want to touch configuration files in their Wordpress folders, or who want an all-in-one solution that gets them their site and DB in one step.
