Migrating an Existing Website to Koelhost (Manual and Automated Options)

Print

If your website is currently hosted elsewhere, you need to migrate it to Koelhost.

 

Option 1: Automated (Recommended for WordPress)

 

Use a migration plugin to bundle your site and database automatically.

  1. Install Plugin on Old Host: On your current host, install and activate a plugin like All-in-One WP Migration or Duplicator.

  2. Export: Use the plugin to create a single, transportable file (.wpress or .zip).

  3. Install on New Host: Install a fresh copy of WordPress on Koelhost (using the One-Click Installer).

  4. Import: Install the same migration plugin on the new Koelhost site.

  5. Upload & Import: Use the plugin's import feature to upload the file created in step 2. The plugin will handle the database and URL updates.

 

Option 2: Manual Migration (For All Platforms)

 

  1. Backup Files: Use FTP/cPanel to download all files from your old host's public_html directory.

  2. Backup Database: Use phpMyAdmin on your old host to Export your site's database as a .sql file.

  3. Upload to Koelhost: Upload the files to the public_html directory on your Koelhost server via FTP/cPanel File Manager.

  4. Create/Import DB: Create a new database in Koelhost cPanel, then use phpMyAdmin to Import the .sql file.

  5. Update Config: Edit your site's configuration file (e.g., wp-config.php for WordPress) to update the Database Name, Database User, and Password to the new credentials you created on Koelhost.

  6. Point DNS: Change your domain's Nameservers (or A-Record) at your registrar to point to Koelhost.
