Lesson 3: Import Your Website from Your Computer to New Host
Now you will upload the .wpress file currently "living" on your computer (which is your entire website) from your computer (on the LEFT) to your NEW Hosting account, which is your "To" account (on the RIGHT).
9. Go to All in One WP Migration > Import on the Right side in your "To" account.
A box showing "Import Site" will next appear in your Hosting account WP dashboard on the Right side of your screen.
10. Drag 'n Drop the .wpress file (1.12. GB) that IS your website from your computer (Left Side) into Import Site box to upload onto your NEW Hosting account (Right Side).
11. OH NO!!!!!!! We have a major problem!
When we attempted to upload our website (.wpress file) to our NEW hosting account, we received a pop-up box reading this:
"The file you are trying to import is over the maximum upload size limit of 512 MB. You can remove this restriction by purchasing our Unlimited Extension."
So THAT'S how they get ya, huh?!!
They "dangle the carrot" to get you to download their FREE plugin, only to reject you at the door???? That's WRONG!!
Well, not really. If you read the fine print of the plugin, it DOES state that there is a 512 MB limit for the FREE plugin. If you go Premium (Paid $99) you can get unlimited size access.
Have no fear, Ladies and Gents!
I have found the perfect work-around solution, that's SIMPLE. is completely legal, and it WON'T break your site or cause any problems with your upload!!!
This is what I spent hours researching and found out - not only to solve my dilemma to get my client's website up by the deadline, but also so I can share these gems with YOU My Friends so you won't have to jump through 9 different hoops like I had to do!
This next lesson (Lesson 4) is what makes this entire tutorial worth its weight in GOLD.

You only need to edit the file upload size on your "TO" computer.
Amazing!!!.
I have tried this method last time and I was stuck where the file size was over limit.
This is definitely awesome! .
