Unmanaged VPS with WordPress ➡ Managed Hosting on a VPS #
For migrating a WordPress site from an Unmanaged VPS, using a WordPress migration plugin is the best approach. We recommend All-in-One WP Migration.
- Install All-in-One WP Migration Plugin:
- Download and install the All-in-One WP Migration plugin from the WordPress plugin repository.
- Export Your WordPress Site:
- Use the plugin to export your WordPress site, generating a file containing all your site’s data.
- Import to Managed VPS:
- Install WordPress on your Managed VPS and use the All-in-One WP Migration plugin to import the previously exported file.
Unmanaged VPS with a Custom Site ➡ Managed Hosting on a VPS #
For custom sites without a control panel or WordPress, a manual migration is required. Here’s a simplified approach:
- Backup Your Site:
- Use FTP or a similar tool to download all site files.
- Export your databases using a tool like
mysqldump.
- Upload to Managed VPS:
- Use FTP to upload your site files to the Managed VPS.
- Import your databases using a tool like
mysql.
- Update Configuration:
- Ensure all configuration files are updated with the new server details.
