✅ Step 1: Backup Your Existing Website

Before starting the migration, make sure to back up your website completely:

• Download files via FTP (e.g., FileZilla)

• Export your database (via phpMyAdmin or backup plugin)

Or use a plugin like All-in-One WP Migration or Duplicator for full site backup.

✅ Step 2: Install WordPress on GetSiteUp

From your GetSiteUp Plesk panel, install WordPress with one click using Softaculous or the native WordPress Toolkit.

➡ This will prepare your hosting space to receive your website files.

✅ Step 3: Upload Your Backup Files

• If you’re using a plugin (like Duplicator), install the same plugin on your GetSiteUp WordPress installation

• Upload the backup file and run the restoration process

If you’re migrating manually:

• Upload files via FTP to /httpdocs/ directory

• Import database using Plesk > Databases > phpMyAdmin

• Update wp-config.php file with new database credentials

✅ Step 4: Point Your Domain to GetSiteUp

Update your domain’s DNS records to point to GetSiteUp nameservers:

ns1.getsiteup.com
ns2.getsiteup.com

Propagation may take 1–24 hours.

✅ Step 5: Test and Finalize

• Visit your site to make sure everything is working

• Reinstall security plugins, cache settings, etc.

• Set up your email and SSL from the Plesk dashboard
