Shifting from xyz.wordpress.com to xyz.com

[Danny Crypto]

Hey guys,

I want to shift my blog to domain

from xyz.wordpress.com > xyz.com

How all my posts on current site (xyz.wordpress.com) will be reflected on (xyz.com)


How should I do that?

Bought: -

- a domain from namecheap
- I have to buy hosting for it too should I buy from namecheap only?


Thinking to opt for the option that wordpress is giving but it is costing too much, it is costing around if I select the premium one 60$ a year

But I think if I'll do the other way it will cost me less.

Please do suggest how to do it?

I think you should buy hosting and start communicating with customer support they will help you with this.

or if you want solution first then

any wordpress master can help you with that!

Hey, buy an good hosting because if you buy and low-end hosting then your wordpress site loading speed will be slow.
Now make a backup of your current wordpress site ( If you don't know then you can PM me or google it).
Install a new wordpress instance on your new hosting and then restore your backup of wordpress site into this one.
Now change your wordpress site URL from phpmyadmin.
That's it.

1.
Use wp-cli tool to export your database. Then, purchase a new server, install WordPress and import the database using the same tool.

2.
When the database is imported you have to update the wp.config accordingly (by specifying the new site URL). You also need to use wp-cli to do a search and replace on all old URL's and change them to the new URL. You can find documentation here: https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/search-replace/

Example search and replace command:
$ wp search-replace 'http://example.dev' 'http://example.com'

You can buy your own hosting. Then what you need to do is redirect your old website to the new one. If you do not want that, you can manually transfer them by copy pasting the article. Then have a disclaimer on your old website that the contents have been moved to a new website.

Never buy a hosting from the same company you bought a domain (for security reasons). Buy your domain from namecheap and get hosting from another company like Hostkoala which is just about $5 per year for a start. And their hosting is very fast, good customer support.

Thank me later!

Yes, hosting is required for this migration.
