Wordpress is a lightweight and responsive system, making the migration of a WordPress site relatively simple. Before migrating your website to a new hosting provider, it’s important to verify that the new host fully supports all WordPress functionalities. With MyDreams hosting, you can be assured that the hosting is fully compatible with WordPress.
1) Database Migration
Log in to phpMyAdmin on your current hosting provider. Click on the database name in the left column, then go to the Export tab in the top menu. Export the database to a file on your local disk.
Once the database file is saved on your disk, log in to phpMyAdmin on the new hosting provider. Click on the database name in the left column, then go to the Import tab in the top menu. Use the form to select the database file from your disk and import it.
2) File Migration via FTP
Using an FTP client, connect to the FTP server of your old hosting provider and download all WordPress files to your local PC. Next, connect to the FTP server of your new hosting provider and upload the files from your PC to the new hosting. For MyDreams hosting, place the files in the /web directory.
3) Post-Migration Settings
All WordPress configuration settings after migration are made in the /wp-config.php file. Update the following items:
define('DB_NAME', 'md_4mydomain_cz');
// Database name
define('DB_USER', 'md_4mydomain_cz');
// Database login
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'hesl0012');
// Database password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
// Database host. You can use 'localhost' or the IP address of the database server.
Ensure that these settings reflect the database credentials and host details of the new hosting provider.
