Whether it is between two different remote web servers, or between a development server and a production server, or from a production server to a local, you can migrate in many directions. In most cases, one-click migration WP is still the tool of choice for most WordPress beginners. Below we introduce one of the best free ways to migrate WP-All in One WP Migration.
If you need to move an existing website. This article will detail how to use All in One WP Migration in ServMask to quickly move all the information from the old site to the WordPress installation of the new host (ie "migration"). In this tutorial, it is assumed that your old host has not expired, and you have purchased and installed a brand new WordPress on the new host.
