Move Your Website Fast and Easy
Wealthy Affiliate is a great place to host your websites and to "cut your teeth" learning how to build sites on WordPress, experimenting with various themes, and some great plugins. Plus the security here is second to none.
However, at some point you may want to build test sites here for other people such as clients, and you may need to move those websites you build to other hosts.
Shortly I will tell you how to move your websites fast and easy.
I learned this the hard way as I built a site for a client here last week that needed to be moved to Go Daddy. Go Daddy assured me they could migrate the test site from WA to Go Daddy for FREE with their own in-house migration tool with absolutely no trouble. In fact a 99% probability.
Except when we actually tried to implement it multiple times, it failed. Every time.
They claimed that it must be that WA has a high security wall built around them that is preventing the test site from being migrated. Hence the 1%.
Plugin or FTP?
For the majority of people, this used to be (and still is) a complicated and tedious procedure, where you will need to use a combination of a plugin and FTP, or FTP alone, and there is an 8 step process involved.
Marion has provided some excellent training videos no doubt, and she is certainly an expert at WordPress and in other areas WP, and at moving websites.
However, no disrespect to the great Marion, I followed her procedure and ran into some difficulties along the way that prevented me from going further. I'm sure if I would have pursued it further with greater patience, I would have completed the task.
But I was looking for a faster and easier way. I didn’t have the patience. And despite my lack of patience, I found it.
So I am here not claiming to be an expert my dear friends, nor to diminish Marion's terrific contributions, but to share with you an alternative approach that has worked for me.
Stay tuned for my simple training tutorial where I will show you how to move any website to a new host in 10 minutes.
It's coming up any minute.
**UPDATE: Here is the New Training "Move Your Website in 10 Minutes!"
Move Your Website in 10 Minutes!

Curious to see what you have found. I too tend to be a bit too impatient at times when it comes to certain tasks. It's always helpful to have multiple methods for getting something done because there are always those rare cases where things just don't go right, no matter how detailed the training may be.
That is great Kaju I knew you could do it but remember patience is the virtue. I realize that you were frustrated but we all have to endure ourselves to patients. I am glad that you did though. You are the greatest one who could figure things out, my friend. Please don't take what I said to offend you because I don't ever want to offend you in any way.

I am going to keep learning as much as I can after I get better of course right now I can't take it my brain it is experiencing glitches and I don't want to complicate things right now still learning many things and forgetting them all at once.
Mary
It seems everything takes time so I have to go with the flow and just let things happen the way they are supposed to happen. I will get there someday I guess. Along with hard work.
Mary
No doubt, everything takes time. It's hard to stay patient, but we must and take it day by day.
Yes we do have to be patient and take things one day at a time
I just have to work on being more patient I guess. Take everything as it comes.

I need it badly Kaju.
Waiting for the rest of the tutorials.
Another thing that i noticed with the hosting is that some premium themes and plugins cannot be installed even after I reached site-support. I believe it's due to the high security features of it.
Thanks for sharing the tips. I am looking forward to the rest of the tut.
