Description
Siternet Website Migration helps you move a full WordPress site between hosts.
What it does
- Export themes, plugins, uploads, and the database into a standard .zip backup
- Import by drag-and-drop (uploads are chunked so typical PHP upload limits are less of a problem)
- Rewrite links and media URLs to the destination domain after import
- Keep a list of backups on the host for restore, download, or delete
Good to know
- Backups created by this plugin use its own .zip format
- Multisite is not supported in this version
- Import/restore replaces the current site files and database — use carefully
