Free Migration Workflow

Migrate in minutes —
no specialist knowledge needed

Move any site, at any size, using only the free plugin and basic FTP access.

On your source site
1
Install Net-Migrate and create a backup

Single button click in the plugin admin. Full database and files, zipped automatically with a SHA-256 fingerprint.

2
Download the backup ZIP

Your backup appears in the library immediately. Download it to your desktop.

3
That’s it

Nothing else to do on the old host.

On your destination site
1
Install WordPress and Net-Migrate

Fresh WordPress install on your new host — a one-click installer works fine.

2
FTP the backup ZIP into the backups folder

Upload to wp-content/net-migrate-backups/ — the backup appears in the library automatically.

3
Click Restore — URL rewriting is automatic

If your domain changed, Net-Migrate detects it and rewrites all database references, including serialised PHP data used by page builders.

Why Pro

The restore is the moment that matters

Every backup plugin creates backups. Net-Migrate Pro is engineered around what happens when you actually use one.

Pre-restore Snapshot & Rollback

Net-Migrate automatically snapshots your database before touching anything. If the restore fails, it rolls back — no broken site, no manual recovery.

End-to-End SHA-256 Integrity

Every backup is fingerprinted at creation. The hash travels with the file, is verified on restore, and checked again after any remote upload. No competitor runs this chain.

Backup Report

Every backup generates a .report.json sidecar listing every excluded file and the reason why. No more guessing why your backup is smaller than your site.

Selective Restore

Restore the full site, just the database, or just the files. Swap a broken database without touching your theme. Available on the Developer tier.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes, at any size — there is no cap. Install on the source site, create a backup, FTP the ZIP to the destination, click Restore. No Pro licence needed. URL rewriting is included in the free tier.

On Pro and above, Net-Migrate automatically snapshots the database before starting. If anything goes wrong, it rolls back to that snapshot and your site is left intact. On Free, recovery is manual — the site may be in a broken state if a restore fails partway through.

No. Pro includes chunked drag-and-drop import via the browser — upload the backup ZIP directly from your desktop without any FTP access. Large files are handled automatically with resume support if the upload is interrupted.

It’s a cryptographic fingerprint of the backup file. Net-Migrate verifies it at restore time and after any remote upload, confirming the file hasn’t been corrupted or tampered with in transit. Click the hash in the backup library to copy it to your clipboard.

Yes, on the Developer tier. Selective restore lets you choose full, database-only, or files-only. Useful for recovering from a plugin conflict without a full restore, or migrating a database without touching themes and uploads.
