Top-rated WordPress migration plugin

Want to move your website from one host to another without the hassle? UpdraftPlus is the leading migration plugin for WordPress. It’s in the top 0.03% for a reason.

Quick and easy migrations

Migrate your WordPress website to another web host or domain reliably and successfully in just minutes.

Why UpdraftPlus for WordPress migrations?

UpdraftPlus is the world’s preferred plugin for WordPress migrations, leading to more successful migrations through:

  • Manageable file sizes

    Files are backed up as multiple .zip files, each sized according to your settings. During migration, these files are transferred in chunks, with the chunk size automatically adjusting for speed and stability. This approach ensures faster, more reliable migrations, even with limited storage.

  • Efficient handling of long-running tasks

    If a PHP process times out, the backup pauses and resumes automatically. Our algorithm monitors runtime and schedules resumptions to stay within PHP limits.

  • Clever remote storage use

    Files are transferred as they’re created, rather than all at once. This allows even servers with limited local storage to migrate successfully.

  • Chunked database backups

    For large databases, UpdraftPlus processes rows in chunks to stay within memory limits. This ensures efficient and reliable migration, even for the largest tables.

  • Controlled restoration order

    By migrating files first and the database last, UpdraftPlus minimises the risk of a failed restore or migration.

  • No partial database restores

    Database migrations can be performed atomically (all at once), eliminating the risk of partial restores.

  • Migrate only what you need

    Migrate just the database, or select plugins, themes, or uploads. With UpdraftPlus Premium, you can also restore individual database tables or specific plugins and files.

  • Secure migrations

    UpdraftPlus uses RSA key pairs to establish a secure connection for migrations via RPC (Remote Procedure Call). All server communications are encrypted with AES, ensuring safe data transfer.

  • Search and replace built-in

    UpdraftPlus automatically detects and updates old URLs, saving you time and reducing the risk of broken links from manual updates.

  • ‘Behind the scenes’ clean-up tasks

    Background clean-up tasks help with things like maintaining compatibility with other plugins, leading to smoother and more successful migrations.
