have a tutorial on how  to create a website like this and there I show you step by step what I am doing so it's really  important uh website for me and that's why I want to transfer it safely so what I will do I will  do a few things in order to make a backup of our website but I will still use all the simple tools  so I go to the back end when everything is up to date I go to plugins at new and I search for all  in one WP migration I see it's already installed that you can search for this then you click on  install now over here when you've done that you click on activate and when you've done that here  at the left you see Allin one WP migration and I click on export and I click on export to fail I'm  using this tool already for years it never failed me it's amazing it's so easy this will make  a backup of our website and our database all together in just one file that we can upload to  our new website so it's a big fou 520 megabytes I download it and meanwhile I go to plugins at  new I want to make a double backup also using another tool just in case WP Vivid there is from  the W Vivid team more than 200,000 installations install now I activated okay I want to uh use  the database and fils so I click on back up now I want to send it to my local computer back  up now so I will just download it now it will prepare okay the compression is finished  I scroll down and now over here December the 1st I can click on download there are three  fils one two and three and there they go great we have two backups now of our website so  we're super secure and safe now let's take a look at our emails and email accounts and  we also make a backup of those the best thing you can use in order to make this work is an  email client like macmail or Microsoft Outlook so let's get started with that now want to go  to my email account I use Mac mail so I go to mail you can also use Outlook whatever works for  you and also here I will do a double backup so I already have my fils over here they can stay  here and these files or these emails I will drag them literally to my new email account  but just to make things sure I will make a backup so I say right Mouse click export  mailbox I go to my desktop I create a new folder affiliate marketing course backup create  and then I can create a new folder in there email create and I click on  choose so let's take a look at my desktop there it is the same I will do with my outbox or my send  emails right Mouse click export mailbox over here try check it again email there you go I go back  Comm on and I go to my download folder I want to drag all those affiliate marketing course  backups over here so I have everything in one place my emails my backup through all in one  WP migration and my backup through WP Vivid okay this is what I will leave now now I want to get  my new web hosting provider okay part of people in the house our website is backed up don't know  that's the right word backed up backed back uped whatever and our emails and email accounts  and now we want to go to the new web hosting provider and in my case it will be hostinger  why they're fast they have great support and they're really affordable also when you go to  the renewal rates they're still affordable and with other web hosting providers can be that the  first year is really cheap you get 300 trillion per discount and then the second year you pay  so much money for it so I choose hostinger but it can be anything for you you can transfer your  website from one web hosting provider you have right now to any other web hosting provider this  video will still show you a lot on how you need to do things in my case it will be hosting her  so let me show you how I will do that let's go to webhosting 37.com hit enter and then click on  go to hostinger and what you will see right now there's 81% Black Friday discount going on it can  be that you will see it in your own language if you want to change the language click over here  I can go to the United States for instance and then you see it in your preferred language so if  you want to get the dual click on claim deal and there are three plans over here if you want to go  with the most affordable plan that's the left one the Premium plan you will pay $249 per month  and you can create up to 100 websites 100 GB of SSD storage which is more than enough you get  free email for instance info@ yourdomain.com and if somehow you don't like the service look at  this there is a 30-day money back guarantee so there's no risk at all you can try it out watch  one of my tutorials make that website and if you don't like it somehow you can get your money back  no questions asked so let me scroll up if I click on at to card if I go for 48 months I pay $249  per month but I can give you even more discount if you scroll down over here at have a coupon code  you can fill in the name 30 I'm affiliated with hostinger I click on apply I scroll up and now  it's $224 if you go for four years look at this you pay a total amount of $130 16 if you divide  it by four you pay $32.50 per year and then you can have up to 100 websites I have 36 websites in  my plan that means that's $1 per year per website for web hosting but maybe you're on a budget what  you can also do you can scroll up and go for 12 months then you pay $269 per month and then right  now you have to pay $397 you get a free domain name a web hosting for a whole year and again  if you somehow don't like it you can't get your money back within 30 days this is a great plan  to make your first website but let me also show you another plan if I go back and I go to the  business plan you have increas inre performance with nvme storage which is a lot faster than  SSD by the way all websites are fast also with SSD but if you have 100 websites with SSD they can  become slower when you have 100 websites with nvme it will be fine you have daily pickups so if you  mess something up you can put it back up from the day before or the day before back so everything  will be fine again free CDN that means that your website will be fast no matter what a visor comes  from and there's also the staging tool so if you make adjustments to your website you can do that  on the staging environment see if everything is working and if everything is working you push  a button your staging website goes to the live website in that way you won't break anything  when you're editing your live website so let's take a look at the pricing over here $349 if I  click on add to card and I scroll down I type in 30 if I would go for 48 months for four years I  will pay a total of $182 43 that's $45 per year and you can have up to 100 websites that will all  be blazing fast and the great thing with hostinger is that you can pay with multiple payment methods  also depending on where you come from so if you come from a different country you'll see other  payment methods so you can pay with your favorite payment method so what I will do I will go for  the business plan for 48 months I get two months for free and then I need to need to fill in some  details I will create an account with an email address and I create a password I choose credit card as a payment method and I need  to fill in some details so there I go if you have a company you can add company  details so my company name my fed number my company address and then the texes and fees  will be subtracted so I have to pay a total of $150 and then I need to fill in my credit  card details then I click on submit secure payment and we will be redirected to the control panel and there we are hello okay ladies and  gentlemen it is time to install WordPress and by the way if you like this video please like this  video feel free to subscribe

say I already have a domain I click on select use an existing  domain my existing domain is this one affiliate marketing course.com remove all the stuff only  the name and the extension. continue okay what's saying right now I'm using existing domain so what  I need to do right now the existing name servers are from s ground so what I need to do I need to  go to S ground and change the name servers from s ground to this one so I copy this one then I go  to S ground account I go to Services domains and here I see affiliate marketing course.com I click  on manage and then over here I want to manage the name servers so I click on manage name servers and  I changed the first one to this one and the second one to this one I click on confirm this will take  while before the changes will take place so what I need to do right now I need to go over here  I click on continue finish set up so right now WordPress will be installed okay right now we are  installing WordPress and it's really important to create our emo account why because later on we  will change our DNS servers okay now I'm talking like a lot of complicated stuff let me make it  simple what we will do we will will make sure that our domain name is pointing to our new webing  provider in my case hostinger when they switch from the old web hosting provider to the new one  I also need to have that same email address on the new web hosting provider otherwise when people  send the emails and I don't have an email account yet at my Hosting account then I don't receive  those emails anymore because it's not pointing to C ground anymore but to hosting her so before that  happens that switch that can happen between now and 2 hours I want to create exact the same email  address at hostinger so when the switch happens we do not know exactly when it happens I can still  receive all my emails did I really need so much words in order to explain this yes so let's do  that right now after we installed WordPress so it will take a while before everything is processed  so I go to the control panel by clicking on manage site now I want to go to emails here at the  top by the way I have a complete tutorial about hosting if you want to watch that one  you can click over here and over here I see affiliate marketing course.com so what  I can do now I can create a free email account by clicking on manage I choose free  email select and I create 30 at affiliate marketing course just as over here take a  look at the receiver 30 affiliate marketing course this is also my account admin I'll create  a password and the password recovery email I click on create new accounts and look at this our email  address is created I can log in into my web mail or I can click on done and now I see my email  account over here it's really simple I can go to emails then affiliate marketing course manage  now I can go to configure desktop app now I can configure my IMAP email structure always use IMAP  never use pop this one don't use this one but use IMAP that means that all your devices that have  your emo account active will sync with each other I'll explain to you what I mean so what I want  to do now I want to copy the incoming server copy now I go to MEC Mill you can go to Outlook or  another client I go to mail add an account other mail account continue the name will be affiliate  marketing of course and right now I will call this one new so um I don't get confused with the other  one my email address is 30 at affiliatemarketing course.com my password which I have created  I click on sign in now my username is also 30 affiliat marketing course.com and at IMAP I paste  my incoming me server then I go to the outgoing server which is the same which has the same name  and I copy username again and I paste it here and I click on sign in I don't want to sync my notes  only my email so I click on done look at this I direct this to the right okay I know this is the  new one and it has nothing what I can do now I go to affiliate marketing course command a hold  alt so I can duplicate them into my new account now they are there the same with outgoing emails  command a hold alt reject them over here so now I have them all duplicated even with the flex  and stuff now if I go to my website and I go to emails affiliate marketing course manage and I  go to email accounts this one I click over here and I go to web mail look at this there they are  all those emails and this one Brett Russell if I take a look here it's flaged and that is exactly  what I see over here not flag but it's a star so so if I go to this one from Nathan and I  make it a star look at this it's a star it's a flag so everything is in sync with each other  if I decide to remove this one from November 28th and I go to my web mail and I refresh the  page it's gone everything is in sync with each other so what else can we do we can go to websites  and here we see affiliat marketing course.com I click on manage I go to WordPress dashboard and  then I want to click on edit website but I see it's still redirecting to the current domain so  what I need to do I need to be patient and once in a while click over here again and for me  after 10 minutes I could go to my WordPress installation from hostinger you see it's not  secure yet I dismiss this message and now I want to install our backup on this website  so first I go to Pages remove all the pages bring them to the trash go to the trash and  the trash then I go to plugins I remove them all or deactivate so I go to plugins select  this book actions deactivate all the plugins and I want to remove them all except for  allinone WP migration book actions delete apply I want to activate all in one WP  migration again and click on import then I want to import it from a file over here or what  I can do the second way is to plugins at new WP vivit install now activate I scroll down I go to uploads  and I drag the fils over here one two and three and I click on upload upload has been completed and now I can  restore this so I go to backups this is the one I have uploaded and I click on restore and I  click again on restore I'm sure yes how many times do I have to click make sure that this  number is 1 19596 instead of 1 19597 if it's a seven leave the room your computer is about to  explode just kidding you can see the progress as far as you can and I can understand this  and it says the restoration is successfully so now I need to log in with the details over  here from my original website so I click on login okay now I go to settings General and  make sure that there's an S over here and an S over here it can be that your website will go  offline for a moment but in my case and in your case probably also your website will be live so  we have exactly the same website at s ground as at HostGator so when the switch will happen so  when the name servers will point to hostinger instead of Sr because that can take a well then  everything in the website will stay the same one more thing if I go to the dashboard of hostinger  I need to force htps over here at websites fitted marketing course manage WordPress dashboard Force  HPS I turn it on so now automatically our website will be secure so what we have now if I go to  affiliat marketing course.com it is working what I also can do I can grab this link go and  search for find name servers from domain NS look up show NS records what I see DNS parking  DNS parking which is from hostinger so we know that our complete websites plus  incoming and outgoing emails are now completely copied to in this case hostinger  and that is the way the Quicky crumbles let's take a look at the website if everything is  working also here I have access to my course content yes ladies and gentlemen we're getting  further and further in this tutorial I hope everything is working out for you as it is  working out in my case if it's not maybe if a different web hosting maybe get stuck  please reach out to the customer support of your webhosting provider the new one or you  can leave an email or a message here below and if I see a lot of the same comments  I know hey maybe I should focus more on on this part in the tutorial and what I  want to talk about now it's a bonus this this this free all the other stuff it's also  free but this is really free how to transfer your domain because right now everything in my  case is at Host boting her or yeah everything yeah and um now I want to transfer my domain name  from sround to hostinger so I have everything in one place and with hosting her uh having a domain  name at hostinger is twice as cheap as with side ground so I have 75 domain names at s right now  it will save me $750 per year which is quite a nice amount of money so I'm transferring it and  I will show you how you can do the same so let's get right to it so in order to transfer your  domain name you need to have an EP code what does it stand for I have no idea but you need it  in order to get it at s ground we go to Services domains and I go to affiliate marketing course I  click on manage and it doesn't matter when you got this mine expires in a month but if it expires  in six months you still need to pay the whole amount at your new web hosing provider so I'm  lucky I only have one month of double payments and what do I mean by that I already paid last  January the 8th for a whole year so even if I would transfer it after a month or two months  after my payment I do not get money in return I still pay the whole amount so I go to the three  dots in my case get a EP code send the code okay it will be sent to my email account now I go to  hostinger.com I log in then I go to domains and over here I see transfer an existing domain yes so  I copy my domain paste it over here and I click on transfer it's even cheaper it's not $10 but $9  I click on complete payment I use my existing account and I need to paste my EP code I got it  from my email I paste it and I use the hostinger DNS records then I click on transfer domain and it  says your domain transfer will take up to five to seven business days to complete you can check  the process on your domain list so I click on continue uh the domain provider will approve the  transfer we're waiting for that our name servers are already correct so everything will go right  automatically so everything is transferred our website our emails our email accounts our domain  everything and it's working I hope it's working for you again if you get stuck reach out to the  sport or leave a comment and um feel also free to leave your um social security number no not your  Social Security leave a comment if you have any question or you have any feedback on this video  If you like this
