1 Choose a new host

The first step is to choose a new host that meets your needs and budget. There are many WordPress and WooCommerce hosting options and reviews available online, but you should consider some factors such as speed, reliability, security, support, and scalability. You should also compare the features and prices of different plans and packages, and look for any discounts or offers. Some popular WordPress and WooCommerce hosts are SiteGround, Bluehost, WP Engine, and Kinsta.

To ensure optimal website performance and load speed, it's recommended to review benchmark tests when selecting a host, as server performance can vary significantly between providers. For those serious about website performance, considering a Virtual Private Server (VPS) over the more common shared hosting could prove useful.

Sign up with a quality WordPress host that fits your site's needs, many of the top hosts will perform the migration for you. You may still have to handle the DNS updates post-migration.

2 Backup your site

The next step is to backup your site before you start the migration process. This is a crucial step to avoid losing any data or files in case something goes wrong. You can use a plugin like UpdraftPlus or BackupBuddy to create a full backup of your site, including your database, files, themes, plugins, and settings. You should store your backup in a safe location, such as a cloud service, a local drive, or an external device.

Although backing up is crucial, it is not sufficient. It's important not to cancel your old server plan until your website is fully uploaded and functioning on the new server. Extensive testing may be necessary to ensure that the process is executed correctly. Losing digital assets, such as saved PDFs, from the old server is not uncommon, so taking extra precautions is recommended.

3 Export your database

The third step is to export your database from your old host. Your database contains all your site's content, such as posts, pages, products, orders, customers, and settings. You can use a tool like phpMyAdmin or cPanel to access your database and export it as a SQL file. You should save this file in a secure place, as you will need it later to import it to your new host.

Before exporting the database (better yet, before performing the backup), put your WordPress site into maintenance mode if there are frequent database changes. Keep maintenance mode enabled on the old host until you cancel the plan, this will ensure that no new orders or users can be created at the site that is being abandoned. Once the migration is finished and DNS is updated, be sure that maintenance mode is not enabled on the new site.

4 Upload your files

The fourth step is to upload your files to your new host. Your files include your WordPress core files, your wp-content folder, your wp-config.php file, and your .htaccess file. You can use a FTP client like FileZilla or Cyberduck to connect to your new host and upload your files to the root directory of your domain. You should make sure that you have the same file permissions and ownership as your old host.

In my numerous experiences with WordPress and WooCommerce site migrations, while uploading files is fundamental, I cannot stress enough the paramount importance of ensuring the wp_config file accurately points to the original database, retains the same password, and references the correct host. This oversight is a recurring error I've observed in WP migrations, and rectifying it is essential for a smooth transition between hosting providers.

5 Import your database

The fifth step is to import your database to your new host. You can use a tool like phpMyAdmin or cPanel to access your new host's database and create a new database with the same name, username, and password as your old one. Then, you can import your SQL file that you exported earlier and run it. This will populate your new database with your site's content and settings.

6 Update your domain name

The final step is to update your domain name to point to your new host. You can do this by changing your nameservers or your A records in your domain registrar's dashboard. This will tell your domain to load your site from your new host instead of your old one. You should also update your WordPress and WooCommerce settings to reflect your new domain name and URL. You can use a plugin like Better Search Replace or WP Migrate DB to replace any instances of your old domain name with your new one in your database.

If your domain name has not changed during the migration, there shouldn't be a need to perform a search and replace or update the database values. Instead of setting your site URL to a temporary one, try using your machine's hosts file to temporarily point the DNS only locally while you test. After thorough testing, DNS can be updated.
