Migrate your WordPress website to any webhost free with AegisBackup.

Switch Web Hosts in Minutes: No Stress, No Downtime, No Drama – it’s like making popcorn in the microwave!

  • First, download the AegisBackup plugin and install it on your current live WordPress site. After it’s installed, open the AegisBackup dashboard and create a DR backup of your site.

    Once the backup is finished, download the backup file. You’ll need it for the next step.

  • Next, install AegisBackup on your new destination WordPress site. Then, go to the Migration Wizard, click ‘Enable’ to create the /aegismw/ folder, and select ‘Open Runner’.

  • In the ‘Restore a Full Backup (DR)’ section, click the ‘Choose File’ button and select the backup ZIP file you downloaded earlier. Then, click ‘Run Restore.

    That’s all there is to it!

  • Don’t forget to update the wp-config.php file. Please open the readme.txt file, look for ‘### Destination Restored Site’ and copy the two lines into middle section of the file. Replace ‘hostname.hostingprovider.com‘ with your temporary domain.

  • Once you’re done, go to your temporary website url and verify everything has been restored.
