This plugin is designed by the WordPress experts at Bluehost, one of the world’s top WordPress providers. It was created to make migration easier and faster by only requiring you to install this plugin and follow the simple steps. Once you’ve completed your compatibility check, this plugin will create a secure copy of your website and begin the transfer to your Bluehost hosting account.
Important: You will need a Bluehost hosting account for this plugin to complete the migration. It is not intended for migrations to other hosting providers.

Bluehost Site Migrator

First time I've tried the plugin.

The Bluehost account already had some basic WP site under that domain, but the domain was pointing to another provider where It was developed.

I have initiated a transfer via plugin, which worked almost perfect, there were some issues with the content, but nothing major.

So now I had two websites in admin panel under same domain name, old blank one, and new one.

I have deleted the old one, and new one was saying domain needs to be connected.

I have contacted support many times to resolve it, and either them or automatically, site was deleted.

Then they tried to restore it, and they hooked up wrong database files, (the design on front was good, but content was empty).

So overall really bad experience, lost around 10 hours.

Then, i tried transferring my site to @Siteground via their migrator.

All happened in 5 minutes perfectly without issues.

So overall, when you choose hosting, don't save those $2.99 or you will loose many more.

Cheers

Aruba WordPress Migration Tool is a plugin that lets you transfer a WordPress website and database from one webspace to another one managed by Aruba.
Using this tool allows you to save time and perform the transfer securely and automatically. The plugin is used by entering a token, generated in the Aruba Hosting customer area.
Activating the Aruba WordPress Migration Tool will create a backup of content on your Aruba Hosting platform before deleting it to make space for the WordPress site that has been migrated.
Before continuing, please check that there is nothing on the WordPress website being transferred that could impede migration, for example:
<ul>
<li>Visualization errors</li>
<li>DNS problems</li>
<li>Login security measures (e.g. 2 factor authentication)</li>
<li>Personalized WordPress login pages</li>
</ul>
Third party resources we use:
<ul>
<li>The plugin uses Aruba API to comunicate with internal <a href="https://wptowporchestrator.aruba.it" rel="nofollow ugc">Migration services</a> to transfer data via secure channel from external hosted site to Aruba hosting. 
WPorchestrator in an initial phase verifies a token for validation of the data transfer, after which a backup of the site is created locally, which is passed to the WPorchestrator which uploads it to the S3 storage, at the end of the export, again the orchestrator moves the installation to the Aruba servers, all this is done in https and automatically.</li>
<li>Please refer to our <a href="https://hosting.aruba.it/en/terms-conditions.aspx" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms and conditions</a> for all the relevant legal matters</li>
