Move a WordPress site to SafaHost

Option 1: with a migration plugin

  1. On your old site, install a migration plugin and create an export file.
  2. On your SafaHost site, open WordPress admin and install the same plugin.
  3. Import the export file. Files must be 128 MB or less per upload.

Option 2: by hand

  1. Download all files from your old host and export the database as a `.sql` file.
  2. Connect to SafaHost with SFTP and upload the files into `public_html`.
  3. Import the `.sql` file into your SafaHost database, for example with a database import plugin.
  4. Edit `wp-config.php` with the database name, user and password from Access details.

Then

  1. Point your domain to SafaHost (see Point your domain with A records).
  2. Click Activate SSL now on your hosting page.
