Migrate Your WordPress Site With hPanel

In this article, we’ll demonstrate four simple methods to complete the WordPress migration so that you can get your WordPress site available on the new host with minimum difficulty.

Method 1. Migrate Your WordPress Site With CPanel

Hostinger’s free migration feature is the quickest and easiest method to move an existing WordPress website to Hostinger. This feature takes charge of the entire transfer process through the panel.

For this method to work, you need to be aware that to use this method, you must know your WordPress login and password. It is also necessary to purchase a hosting plan optimized for WordPress. Then, you must note the link to log into your dashboard, which is often yourdomain.com/wp-admin.

Hostinger’s migration tool will require the username and password of the previous hosting service provider’s login page. Additionally, you’ll be required to enter the old username and password for your hosting account.

Expert Tip

If you want to migrate your site to Hostinger, use Hostinger’s WordPress stage tool before publishing it. It allows users to create a website backup and test the modifications before it is published.
