Use BackupBuddy to easily move a WordPress site to another domain or web host. It will export the database and ALL your files, the WordPress core, images, users–everything into an encrypted ZIP file. You just upload the ZIP file to the new host along with a little migration script it gives you (called “importbuddy.php), navigate to your new domain (yournewsite.com/importbuddy.php) and follow the wizard.
NOTE: You must NOT install WordPress ahead of time. BackupBuddy will install WordPress along with everything else during migration.
If you build custom WordPress sites for clients, this plugin is for you! This is a very popular feature for WordPress developers who build a custom site for a client on a temporary domain or staging server (like our RatedGenius site) and then want to move the entire site with themes, plugins, content, styles, widgets all over to a live client domain.
