If you are having trouble moving your WordPress Website including your MySQL Database and Website Files to a new server or a new web host altogether, this step-by-step tutorial will teach you how to move your website with ease. I will be using FileZilla to move the website files, which is an FTP client that is very easy to use to access your current server. In addition, I will be using Putty, which is a SSH client that allows us to access our website directories as well as import and export our MySQL Database from one server to another.

It can be difficult to transfer your WordPress website to a new server or transfer your WordPress website to a new host altogether. It can be especially challenging for large websites with a lot of files.
