      I was stuck right here, thanks to you for the direction, let me help to others, here are the steps:
      1. Login to your DB using PhpMyAdmin
      2. On your left you will see search box underneath your DB name
      3. Just search ''option''
      4. You will see table named ''wp_options''
      5. Click and edit 2 entries of the table and replace it with your new site entry.

    Hi, i am trying to migrate the site via wordpress but here is showing mas 'Domain Was Found on Another Account

    • @HostingerAcademy
      @HostingerAcademy  Рік тому

      Hey there! If you are seeing the message "Domain Was Found on Another Account" while trying to migrate your WordPress site to a new host, it means that the domain you are trying to use is already registered with another hosting service or registrar. Thus, you will need to contact the hosting provider or registrar to help you with the process 🙏🏻

    Hi! Is the process the same when you migrate from existing VPS hosting with a different provider to a new VPS hosting account in Hostinger?

    • @HostingerAcademy
      @HostingerAcademy  Рік тому

      Hello there!
      The process will be greatly different, as you'll need to set up your VPS so it would support the website you wish to import. To avoid any issues, it is recommended to configure the server as similar as possible to your previous one to avoid any problems.
      Another point is that, our VPS are self-managed, that means that you, and only you, have the total control of your server. That means, that you'll need to manually configure the server and import the files from your side 🙏

    • @HostingerAcademy
      @HostingerAcademy  Рік тому +1

      Hello 👋
      Regarding domains, migrating and transferring would mean the same. In most cases, "migration" is used for websites when you want to migrate the website from one hosting provider to another one, and "transfer" is usually used for domains when you wish to transfer the domain from one provider to another one 😊

      Hey Andrea! You should point your domain name to your hosting account after the migration is completed. To check if the transfer is successful, insert your hosting account’s IP address on www.skipdns.link 😊

    Re the php my new client wants to move to my server but wants to update to php 8 should I just build from scratch on php 8 or just allow time to update plugins

    • @HostingerAcademy
      @HostingerAcademy  Рік тому

      Hey there! Upgrading to PHP 8 requires careful planning and consideration. If possible, it's best to test the website on a staging server before upgrading the production server. If the website is relatively simple and time allows, rebuilding from scratch on PHP 8 may be the best option. Otherwise, allowing time to update the plugins and themes to ensure compatibility may be a more practical approach 😊

    • @HostingerAcademy
      @HostingerAcademy  Рік тому

      Hey there! That is a common error in web browsers that occurs when the server closes the connection without sending any data. Here are some methods you can take to try to solve this error:
      - Check your internet connection since the error may be caused by a poor internet connection.
      - Go to your browser settings and clear your browsing history, cache, and cookies.
      - Try disabling any browser extensions you may have installed.
      - Try accessing the website with a different browser to determine if the issue is specific to your browser or if it's a problem with the website itself.

      Hey there, if you want to transfer the domain just to use it with another hosting provider, you can simply point your domain instead and it’s free, while the transfer is paid. It’s also faster as pointing will be done in 24 hours, while the transfer takes up to 7 days, and it can be done in an instant 😊

      Hey there!
      Sometimes when migrating your WordPress website with a help of a plugin it can exceed the available system resources on your server and not complete the migration process properly, this is where manual migration helps out.
      Furthermore, some websites, due to the plugins and themes they are using, might not be fully compatible with your migration plugin of choice. 😉
