How to Change Hosting for the Fastest WordPress Blog

How to Change Hosting for the Fastest WordPress Blog - Here I will review how to move hosting for a WordPress blog the fastest and not complicated. How to move WordPress files to a new hosting does not take long and does not cause errors. What is most important when moving hosting is that you should not change the domain name server (dns) to a new server. If you have changed the DNS domain to a new server, while the website files are still on the old hosting, then the website will not be accessible, aka an error, and this can affect the loss of visitors. What's worse if it affects SEO. Generally, the hosting transfer process takes 3 days to completely sync. For that you should first let the domain name server point to the old server until you finish moving all website files. To move WordPress files to a new hosting, here's how: 1. Back up all website data first on the old hosting. The trick is to go to the BackUps menu, then do a backup for your home directory and database. For more details, try reading how to back up website files on hosting. 2. After all the files are backed up and downloaded to the computer, extract them. Then compress the wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes folders into a .zip-shaped folder. 3. Next login to the new hosting. The way to enter the new hosting can use the hosting IP address. You can ask the admin where you rent hosting. 4. After successfully logging into the new hosting, upload the compressed WordPress files such as wp-admin.zip, wp-content.zip and wp-includes.zip. Don't forget to upload other WP files. 5. Next create a MySQL database on the new hosting. This database must be the same as the one created on the old hosting. Or if you want to change it, you can. But you have to change the contents of the wp-config.php file, such as the database name, username and password according to the data created in MySQL Databases on the new hosting. 6. When finished creating the database, move the old database file to the new database. The trick is to enter PhpMyAdmin, then click the name of the database that was created. There are no tables there yet. Click on the Import tab. Press Browse to find the database file that was backed up to the computer. Once the file URL is listed, click Go at the bottom. Wait until the data import process is complete and there is a notification that the database was successfully imported. At this point you have successfully moved all WordPress files to the new hosting. Next, change the domain name server to a new server. This change will not cause an error when visitors access the website, because visitors are still treated to a website display from the old hosting. The process of switching to this new server will take approximately 36 hours. After the time has elapsed, you can delete all WordPress files on the old hosting and also delete the database. Also delete the email name and other data that was created on the old hosting. Oh yes, this hosting transfer should be done before the old hosting contract runs out. Ok, until here, the tutorial on how to change hosting for a WordPress blog is finished.
