hello guys welcome to another video in
this video i'm going to be teaching you
how to migrate your website
from
hostgator to bluehost um i actually want
to migrate because i have to renew my
subscription plan and it's actually very
expensive for me to do currently
uh and then i just want to migrate to
another another platform which gives me
discounts like 70 discount as a new
customer so i'm migrating it's going to
be an automatic migration i don't have
to do it manually so stick to the end
for you to get everything i'll be
sharing this video
so diving into it the first thing we
have to do is to generate a backup from
hostgator so this is my control panel i
launch my control pane
and then i want to go to
download a full backup of my website
so this is my control panel i come down
to
my files and then back up
and then
download
a full so i click that
so i come to home directly just leave it
as it is currently
and i put my email so that i will send
me an email whenever the download is
finished so i can go and download it so
generate backup
so it's in progress right now
and probably if you want to
do anything here you may want to come
here to
google and search for how to do some
more complex things with your backup how
to set some of the things that you may
want so this is all the information you
need on how to download your backup or
if it's just migration just do what i
told you to do now i've gotten an email
that
my
my download is completed
so that's where it is my download is
completed right now so i can click on
that to go straight to it so but i want
to come back to my hostgator so let me
just click on back here
even if it's in progress you can say go
back and yes that's my backup i click on
it
and then it's going to download on my
computer
so if you actually generate another
backup it's going to
add that one to it so
now i want to go to my domain i want to
unlock my domain right now
i want to unlock my domain so i come to
the domain that i want to unlock
so
i come to file locking change it
yes i i put it there so it will give me
an epp key so i will need the epp key
so i need the epp key i come here to
unlock the domain
so
i've unlocked it so it's going to give
me an epp key do not let anybody know
your app key because if they know they
can get a domain but because i've
already done what i need to do that's
how i'm showing this so i copy it
you will need it very soon
so now i want to go and buy
i want to go and buy a
host plan on bluehost right now so i
just want a basic plan
what i want is the basic plan so i click
select
and then create a new domain no use a
domain you want because i already have
my domain so this is my domain and then
i click next
and then i will have to fill in all my
details right now after
it's load
so it's still loading yes so it's asking
my name my atm everything here i don't
want to show all of my details here so i
just put everything there
and then i come to click submit so it's
processing right now
so
it's loading yes so this is what we have
is the beginning of your adventure so
click on start migration because i want
to migrate the website
i'm not creating it for my fresh so i
want to start migrating so
that i want a free one free migration
package
so these are some of the other things
you may browse but i just wanted free
get started it's free
so it's loading for me
so now it tells me to enter the welcome
to the website my great so these are the
four main steps
that i need to do
so i put my website
so and then i i check if it will work it
will first check if it's okay for
migration
yeah it says we are compatible because
there are some that may not be
compatible maybe your website is too
heavy
maybe you have a lot of context on your
website it might not work so but this
one is compatible so i click login to
wordpress
so
it's loading for me right now
so it's a bluehost migrator so i have to
install now install it
i'm automatically logging to wordpress
because i've already saved my password
and everything that's why it's logged me
in straight away so i click on install
now
so yes it's installing so it's installed
to allow to activate plugin
so i click on activate plugin so it's
activating right now i'll just come here
now to search my greater to migrate my
website
set my greater and then it is going to
check the compatibility again just click
on check compatibility
and then he said looks like we are
compatible next let's transfer your
website so that it is transforming your
website right now preparing to generate
package folding a lot of things here so
it's loading trying to transfer the
website
so packaging teams right now so i have
this so login to bluehost you transfer
website to bluehost now just need to set
your bluehost account so you can review
it so let's just follow the prompt
log into bluehost
so let's go
so source domain name source server is
generated on its own so
let's go we are good to go
so it looks good
so it's good so just click looks good
that's my own account name honest email
and primary domain so
looks good so yeah
just one more click so proceed
so we are still in the migrating process
we now finally done the migration we've
not finally done it so i have this right
now so it's still loading
so you can click
it's still loading back and click on the
website to just check it open on a new
tab or i can click it directly
just check that my website is still
in that
so it's temporary domain right now i
like because it has not finally migrated
i'm just able to show is to see this to
the template domain provided by bluehost
so now it's loaded for me so i have to
review start review site and then i'll
prove it i'm just going to see what i
see just right now then probably do me
look at you have it so he just provided
that for me to confirm that everything
is working okay so that they won't
migrate maybe my website is not full or
some of the things it's not okay so i
just want to check all the pages and
make sure everything is actually quite
okay
and on this the uh everything is
actually quite okay these are images
that i think the image is a little bit
big that's why it's slow to load you
want to put images on your website make
just make sure they are they don't have
they are not big images so that you load
quick
so it's actually good for me
this is good everything is the way it is
before
so contact us i've checked this as well
this is also cool
this is cool as well
so i just have to approve the sites
right now then approve site
then approve it
approve
so it's going to load
it's loading currently
so connect my domain so i want to
connect my domain right now
to
bluehost i have to go to hostgator and
connect my domain so these are the name
servers
these are name servers if yours is go
daddy go to godaddy here's his name
cheap go to my name cheaper mine this
blue server so i just have to go to my
hostgator pane
so i just log in
so i want to connect the name server i
want to connect blue host name server to
my account at hostgator so that
everything will link and perform the way
they're supposed to perform so i go to
lunch uh to launch c pane
or no i just go to udo means i go to
domain cs
i go to my domains i have more than one
domain in my in my account
so i want to link this domain to
bluehost this lightspeed traveler that
i'm transforming so click on more
and then this is the name servers it's
always getting name server so i want to
change the name server so i want to
change names about to bluehost name
server so i come back there was the
nh
nh1 bluehost.com
and then that number i copy it
i copied the number actually in front
but whichever one you do just watch it's
going to it's still going to work
so i copy the number but it's going to
whenever i put it it's going to
automatically connect it to nhs2
bluehost.com and stuff like that i'm
just using the number but it's going to
locate it itself
whichever one is convenient for you you
can use the
ns1.blue.com directly or use the numbers
i've used it and intuitive it will still
work so i just copy the number
and then i put it there
and then i can then save name server
you're going to give me an every message
actually let's see yeah there was an
evolution in this domain so just refresh
it and then you will see that everything
will be okay right now it's going to
change the name server to
ns1.bluehost.com that's the right uh
name server actually so
that is it it's not showing me ever
again so if i click it you see
ns1ws.com and that's www.com so that's
just how to connect the name servers so
the next thing now let's go back to
our
our bluehost file manager i want to
upload my backup that i download at the
beginning so
i just
go to upload
i want
i go to upload
upload then
i can then i want to drag it i don't
want to
i don't want to just pick it of course
we can do anyone i don't know i'm doing
some absorptions right now so i just
want to drag it so i drag it
so it's loading the back up
for me right now so it's necessary to
have the backup all your whenever you
create all the professional images that
you've created before you will have all
your emails again in your bluehost uh
emails you will have your email in touch
so i the backup is there but i the back
was supposed to be inside public
underscore html so i just go to move
and then i type the path it's supposed
to be under public underscore html so i
click on move update and then i put it
and that's called html and then
[Music]
html yes and then i click move files
so it's going to move you there so you
see you didn't see it again so if i
click on public html so i have it there
so that's my backup so
that's it so sometimes when when you are
doing this you may also want to be in
touch with the uh with an ad with a
customer care so that they can help you
on zip it and put it put everything
where it's supposed to be so i can just
go to my domain now and click transfer
to bluehost
transfer to bluehost click on it and
then actually there's actually a step
that you need to do for say that i
didn't actually put that i think
i have a problem with a technical
problem doing the first thing that we
have is your epp authorization code
which is which is this your app
authorization code i put it it's not
something it's not something up so it's
not something out of the way now you
just put your epp key that's step one i
mean step two right now immediately
transfer to bluehost they will ask it
for the epp the epp that will copy at
the beginning then you put it here and
this is the step two so that's just that
and then make sure everything is okay
use their name server
use privacy i don't want to use privacy
that won't charge me i don't want i
don't click everything that's me may not
matter make them charge me so i don't
want them i don't want to be charged so
i just want to check that everything is
okay and then i click hard to cut
yes i hold this domain on blah blah blah
i click how to cut i'm just banded to
mean
so i just had to cut
yeah so it's because they don't actually
sell the domain because most of these
are most of these websites server they
just give they just said the package for
you they don't
say the name domain name for you at the
beginning so
this is domain name it's free for one
year so
i check out
so this is the domain that i'm buying
again here i've already buy the package
the host plan
so i click checkout
so that my domain name will not just
expire anyhow
so
this is my domain i've bought the domain
so this is everything that
i need to do so that is it for
transferring your
uh your website automatically from
or from hostgator to bluehost and my
website is transferred already you can
see this is my website so that's it very
