Bluehost

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

Backup Migration

Our hosting does daily backups but it is always nice to have a tool that can quickly make a backup on demand. This plugin is what we need

Really easy backups

It worked perfectly for me. Thank you very much for a great plugin.

Worked as promised.

Simple and Fast


...and it's very well built. Solid backup plugin!


Works Like a Charm...


This plugin was handy in my scenario because other similar plugins with big names in the market were not useful to me even migrating a site with a size less than 50 MB some had limits and others had migration available in the premium version.



The free version of this plugin helped me a lot. Thanks to the Developers. 


Best option in market


Well, I will only say that, this plugin is far more better then other plugins on the web. very fast and smooth migration. Highly recommend. Keep up the good work guys. :)  


Awesome Plugin!!!


Its good plugin for backup compared to others.


Its good plugin for backup


Seriously, this free plugin beats even the premium alternatives.Thanks, Inisev! 🏆



A tip for people moving away from WP Engine:By default, they place some files in the /wp-content/ directory might break the import process on the new server.This can be avoided by deleting anything under /wp-content/mu-plugins/ that you haven't inserted yourself.In my case, I also had to remove /wp-content/object-cache.php


simply the best 👌


I know it doesn't look the "WP" way, but I like the look of this plugin.Nice and easy to use. The only thing I would say is that if you run out of space it doesn't really say that. so check that if it doesn't backup.
