This guide provides tips to perform operations related to a WordPress site, which allows, among other things, to…

• … copy and migrate a WordPress site from a competing host to Infomaniak,
• … modify the domain name of a WordPress site,
• … backup an entire WordPress site…

Preamble

• Depending on the context, instead of performing a WordPress transfer, you can simply…
  • … change the site address (the associated domain name) very easily if you have installed WordPress via the Infomaniak installer,
  • … duplicate a WordPress site to work in parallel in a development environment…
• If necessary, local partners referenced by Infomaniak can handle these procedures: launch a free call for tenders; they handle everything, freeing you from technical details.

Transferring a WordPress site…

… with the Duplicator extension
