Moving a Wordpress Website to another server consists of the following several steps

  • Make a copy of the Database: Using phpMyAdmin, Select the database in the left pane, Export Tab, "Simple" Radio Button, Go Button, save it to a file, done.
  • Make a copy of the Website Files: tar -cvzf /WhatEverDestinationFileName.tar.gz /WhatEverPathToSource/* (De-Compress: gunzip WhatEverFileName.tar.gz, tar xf WhatEverFileName.tar)
  • Move or copy the saved database and website files to another server: rsync -v WhatEverFileName UserName@URLorIPAddress:/WhatEverPath
  • Change DNS Settings

All of the above assumes the new server has the same services running like Apache, PHP, MariaDB / mySQL, etc.
