What is SiteShift Migration?
SiteShift Migration is a free WordPress plugin that moves a whole website to a new web host or domain name. It saves your entire site (pages, posts, images, online shop, theme, plugins and settings) into one file, then restores that file on the new site and updates every link to the new address automatically. There is no file size limit, and no coding is needed.
Moving a website shouldn't be scary
If any of these sound familiar, SiteShift Migration was made for you.
“My backup file is too big to upload.”SiteShift Migration has no size limit, even for big photo galleries and online shops.
“After I moved, my images and links broke.”Every link is updated to your new address automatically.
“I'm worried I'll break my site.”Your current site stays exactly as it is. Nothing changes until the move succeeds.
“My host wants to charge me to move it.”Do it yourself in minutes, for free. No developer needed.

Why people choose SiteShift Migration to move their WordPress site
Everything you need for a stress-free move, and nothing confusing.
No size limits
Other tools give up on big websites. SiteShift Migration uploads your file in small pieces, so size never matters, and a dropped connection simply carries on.
Links fixed for you
Your old web address is swapped for the new one everywhere: menus, images, buttons, even pages made with Elementor and other page builders.
Safe from start to finish
Your original website is never touched. On the new site, SiteShift Migration only switches over once everything has copied correctly, so a hiccup can't leave you with a broken site.
Works on any web host
Budget shared hosting or premium cloud, it doesn't matter. SiteShift Migration works in small steps, so even slow or busy servers finish the job.
Private and secure
No account, no tracking, no third parties. Your website's files never leave your own servers unless you download them.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need any technical skills?
No. If you can install a plugin and click a button, you can use SiteShift Migration. There's no code, no settings to understand and no files to edit.
Will my current website go offline?
No. SiteShift Migration only reads your current website to make the copy, and it keeps running normally the whole time. While the new site is being set up, its visitors see a short "be right back" message.
What if something goes wrong?
Your original website is never changed, so you can always try again. On the new site, SiteShift Migration only switches over at the very end, once everything has copied correctly.
My website is really big. Will it work?
Yes. There is no size limit. SiteShift Migration sends your file in small pieces, so even very large websites with thousands of photos move without trouble.
Will my images and links still work?
Yes. SiteShift Migration updates your old web address to the new one everywhere it appears, including pages built with Elementor and other page builders.
Does it move my online shop?
Yes. Your products, orders, customers and settings are all part of your website, so they come along too.
Why do I have to log in again afterwards?
Your user accounts move with your website, so you simply log in with the same username and password you used on the old site.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every feature is free: no trial, no "pro" version, no sign-up and no hidden costs.
Is my information safe?
Yes. SiteShift Migration never sends your data anywhere. The copy of your website is stored on your own server until you choose to download it.
I'm a developer. Is there anything for me?
Yes: everything also works from the command line with WP-CLI (wp siteshift export and wp siteshift import), handy for very large sites and automated workflows. SiteShift Migration needs PHP 7.4+ (64-bit) and WordPress 6.2+, and supports single sites (not multisite).
