website migration help

Hi mates,
i want to migrate one of my WP sites to another hosting. it was on GoDaddy hosting which is really Sucks.

to transfer an existing site what I need to do.
just need to change nameserver or I should install wp in the host where I want to move now.

backup your site using "all in one wp migration" export it to a file, then point your domain to the new nameservers, then install fresh Wordpress, install that plugin again, this time, select import, and then using the file, it will restore the site exactly same, including username and password. that's what I do when I move sites.

Most of the hosting companies do offer free migration, you can also contact your hosting provider to migrate your site's data hassle free.

Be careful with those Plugins, they can be very helpful but if they have vulnerability you can be hacked. I should recommend contact the Hosting Provider and ask if they do it.
In my opinion, I prefer the natural way.

Copy from MySQL Database and FTP files.

You can use a Script and delete it after use, search in Google for "narbehaj / bash-backup" should appear on Github
