1-Click WordPress Migration Plugin – Backup, Migrate & Clone

Back up, migrate and clone a WordPress site 1-Click Migration backs up your WordPress website and emails you an 8-character restore code. Paste that code into a new host, a new domain or a second install, and the site is restored there. Site addresses are updated throughout the database, serialized data included. Your live site stays online while the backup runs. It’s free, with no account or license key. What you can do with it Move to a new host. Transfer a website between any two hosts without downloading or uploading backup files yourself. Change your domain name. Copy a WordPress site to a new domain, and the old address is replaced everywhere in the database, including inside serialized options and widgets. Hand a site over to a client. Move WordPress to the client’s own hosting account. The site transfer takes one backup and one restore. Go from localhost or staging to live. Push staging to live, or move WordPress from localhost to a server. Back up the staging or local site and restore it on the live server. Clone or duplicate a site. Duplicate a WordPress site for staging or testing by restoring its backup on a second install. Move large sites. There is no 4GB zip cap. Back up and restore the database, plugins, themes and uploads together, or one part at a time. Use it for any WordPress site migration: a hosting migration to a new provider, a server migration within the same host, a domain migration, or a move from localhost to live. You can move WordPress to another server, host or domain, and the migration itself needs no FTP, cPanel or phpMyAdmin, just a WordPress login on each site. It’s a free, automatic migration tool for a complete website migration, from the database to the uploads folder. Built to fail safely The database is imported into temporary tables and checked before it replaces anything. If a check fails, the restore stops, says why, and leaves your site as it was. Before the restore starts, the plugin checks your code and lists other domains found in the backup, such as an old domain or a CDN, so you choose which ones to rewrite. Free disk space is checked before files are unpacked. Long backups and restores run in short steps and pick up where they left off, so hosts with strict PHP time limits are fine. Private by default Every part of the backup is AES-256 encrypted on your server before it’s uploaded. Backups are stored on Amazon S3 and deleted after 48 hours. Only someone with the restore code can restore the backup, and we email the code only to the address you enter. Learn more at 1clickmigration.com.
