How do I migrate or import my WordPress domain from another hosting provider?<\/h4>\n

The conventional way of migrating your WordPress website from one server to another server would have involved a lot of manual work (if you have done it before). With the latest WordPress Toolkits that\u2019s built-in for our managed WordPress hosting, you can now do this easily with just a couple of clicks.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can get it done..<\/p>\n

1. Login to your WordPress control panel via our\u00a0client area portal.<\/p>\n

2. On your WordPress dashboard control panel, look for the \u201cWebsite Importing\u201d icon. Click on it.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Click OK and it will begin to access to your remote WordPress website and transfer both the websites and database. Depending on your size of your existing WordPress website on the remote server, the speed of transfer will vary \u2013 ie if you have a lot of images uploaded to your wp-content folder, that would take longer time to complete the import.<\/p>\n
