Moving Host and changing domain name/content

  • My current website [ redundant link removed ] is hosted with Company A, the content is old and needs updating also I want to move it to another hosting company (Company B).
    I bought .net as a testing site and is hosted with Company B, I build the new site and it all works well.
    Here are my problems.
    I want to keep only .es with the new content from the testing site (.net) and move the .es and all associated email over to hosting Company B.
    After the content is moved over to the .es and it is hosted with Company B, I dont need to host the .net.
    Can anyone help me please, I need baby steps please. Thank you

  • This is quite technical. I suggest you hire someone who knows how to do it.

    Below are simplified steps:

    1. Use a migration plugin to backup islandestates.net
    2. Add new domain “islandestates.es” on hosting company B
    3. Update islandestates.es domain DNS A record to point to Hosting Company B web server IP address
    4. Restore WordPress backup to islandestates.es that’s now on Hosting Company B
    5. Now islandestates.es is on Company B with the new content of islandestates.net
    • Your email accounts still on Company A
    • Email accounts migration is more difficult than website migration. Try contact Company B for email migration help
    • If you want to DIY, you can use IMAPSync https://imapsync.lamiral.info/
