Depending on the size of your WordPress blog, this could take some time. Using Filezilla or the SFTP client of your choice, upload both backup files to the Digital Ocean Droplet.
The rest will happen within our Digital Ocean Droplet. You’re done with the Bluehost stuff at this point. We only care about Website Files and MySQL because that’s what we’re going to transfer to Digital Ocean. The next screen should present you with several different backup options.

From the cPanel, scroll until you find the section that reads File Management and click the Site Backup Pro option. We’re going to start from our Bluehost cPanel. From the previous tutorial we really only care to know that a database was configured and the WordPress CLI tool installed. You won’t need the latest version of WordPress, but if you’ve already downloaded it, no worries. DigitalOcean recommends using SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) with FileZilla because it is a free, open-source, cross-platform tool with a user interface that supports newer users. To connect to a server, type open followed by the address of the FTP server. The prompt will change to an ftp> prompt. On Windows 7, search the Start menu for 'Command Prompt'.

Here we’re going to look at migrating a WordPress blog from Bluehost to a Digital Ocean virtual private server (VPS).īefore going forward I’m going to assume you’ve followed my previous guide regarding installing WordPress on a Digital Ocean VPS. On Windows 10 or 8, right-click the Start button or press Windows+X on your keyboard and select 'Command Prompt'.
Now, not everyone needs more than Bluehost so don’t think it is a bad service from the start. In particular I’m hosting this WordPress blog on Digital Ocean. For example my WordPress blog, the one you’re on now, receives too much traffic, which is why I had to host it on a VPS service.
Bluehost is a great service that is incredibly cheap, but depending on the amount of traffic that you receive, a Bluehost server may not be able to accommodate in performance.
