How can I move a blog to a different hosting provider?

You can easily export a blog from our system to a different hosting provider. Go to the blog’s info page and download the two backups (WordPress files and database dump).

Follow the below steps to move the blog.
  1. Create a working WordPress blog on the new hosting.
  2. Make sure WordPress, themes, and plugins are the latest on both blogs.
  3. Upload your files to the new hosting (usually wp-content will be enough).
  4. Restore the database by following the instructions on WordPress.org.
  5. Remove folder wp-content/mu-plugins.
  6. When you have a working blog, change the nameservers to the new provider.
