How to migrate a WordPress website manually using cPanel - Full Tutorial

In this video I walk you through how you can manually migrate a WordPress website from one server to another. We’ll run through the exact steps required to get the website up and running in it’s new home, from backups, to uploading the files and editing the database on the new server and finally we’ll look at updating the domain DNS.

There could be several reason that you may want to be able to this, this most common being that a plugin you used may have timed out or maybe you just want to learn how to do this manually. It’s always useful to know and understand how this works.

I hope you find the video useful and please be sure to like and subscribe.

See you on the next one!
