For the first part of this tutorial, I’m not going to go especially in-depth because many of the steps are identical to our tutorial for migrating WordPress to a new host<\/a>. If at any point during the next few steps you find yourself lost, it’s a good idea to consult that article for more information.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
At a high level, you just need to use the Duplicator plugin to move your site’s files to your new domain. For that reason, the process is pretty much identical no matter whether you’re sticking with the same host or moving to a new WordPress host<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Step 1<\/strong>: Install Duplicator and create a package<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Step 2<\/strong>: Create a new MySQL database for your site<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Step 3<\/strong>: Upload the installer and the archive files to your new domain<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Step 4<\/strong>: Run the Duplicator install process<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n

As always, make sure you back up your site<\/a> before beginning this process.<\/p>\n\n\n
