UpdraftPlus
Back up, restore and migrate your WordPress website with UpdraftPlus
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, or to a development environment and then back again. Simply take a backup of the site you’re migrating from, then restore on the site you’re migrating to. It’s that simple.
Get direct site-to-site migration (Premium only)
Connect two sites once via an encryption key, then migrate back and forth as many times as you please. Perfect for frequent migrations between development and live sites. Choose which themes, plugins and database tables to migrate and get hands-on premium support if you need it.
Why UpdraftPlus for WordPress migrations?
UpdraftPlus has been thoroughly tested against the competition.
Where other plugins generated incomplete backups or failed migrations under the pressure of storage limits and low-memory hosting environments, UpdraftPlus performed reliably every time.
UpdraftPlus excels through…
-
Manageable file sizes
Files are backed up into multiple .zip files based on a configurable size. Each zip is then migrated in chunks. Chunk size auto-adjusts for optimal speed and stability. Our approach results in faster, more successful migrations even when hosting environments are limited.
-
Efficient handling of long-running tasks
If PHP processes time out, the backup of the site you’re migrating, pauses and resumes automatically. Our algorithm monitors runtime and schedules resumptions to stay within PHP limits.
-
Clever remote storage use
Files are sent as they are created rather than everything all at once. Even servers with limited local storage can perform migrations successfully with UpdraftPlus.
-
Chunked database backups
For large databases, UpdraftPlus fetches rows in chunks to avoid exceeding memory limits. UpdraftPlus can efficiently and reliably migrate even the largest of 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). This database is restored onto the receiving site in its entirety, reducing the risk of partial restores.
-
Migrate only what you need
Migrate only the database, or only plugins, themes or uploads. Restore individual database tables or specific plugins and files with UpdraftPlus Premium.
-
Secure migrations
UpdraftPlus uses RSA key pairs to generate a secure connection and migration via RPC (Remote Procedure Call). Communications between servers are encrypted with AES, ensuring secure data transfer.
-
Search and replace built-in
UpdraftPlus identifies old URLs and replaces these with the new ones. Save time and reduce the risk of broken links associated with manually updating URL strings.
-
‘Behind the scenes’ clean-up tasks
Behind the scenes clean-up tasks help with things like maintaining compatibility with other plugins, resulting in more successful migrations overall.
UpdraftPlus works even when:
-
There’s insufficient storage for backup creation on source
-
The connection cuts outs
-
There’s limited memory on the site you’re moving from
-
Migrating a single site to a multisite network
-
Migrating a subsite into another multisite network
-
The database is large
