Bluehost

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>


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


Bad Plugin or Bad Bluehost Admin Panel


It's faulty and does not work and left you with troubles!


Just don't use it

Automatically transfer your site to Bluehost.

<p>The <strong>mPress Fix URL References</strong> plugin allows you to easily fix URL references in your WordPress database.</p>
<h4>Why?</h4>
<p>When you move your site from one domain to another, there is no built-in process for updating URL references in the database. For example, if you have internal links in your post content that point to the full URL of other pages on your site, these URL references will become invalid when you migrate your site to a new domain. If you aren’t a developer who knows how to write MySQL queries, replacing potentially thousands of instances of incorrect URLs is a real pain.  No worries.  I’m a developer and I’ve done all the work for you.</p>
<h4>How?</h4>
<p>Using this plugin is simple:</p>
<ol>
<li>Ensure that you define the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Blog_address_.28URL.29" rel="nofollow ugc">WP_HOME</a> and <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#WordPress_address_.28URL.29" rel="nofollow ugc">WP_SITEURL</a> constants in your wp-config.php file.  It’s not that hard.</li>
<li>Install the plugin</li>
<li>Activate the plugin</li>
<li>In the WordPress admin, click on ‘Fix URL References’ in the ‘Tools’ menu</li>
<li>Enter the URL that you want to have replaced</li>
<li>Click on ‘Fix References’</li>
</ol>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Clean, well written code that won’t bog down your site</li>
</ul>
