How to Migrate a WordPress Website from GoDaddy to Neurax Host

Overview

This guide explains how to manually migrate a WordPress website from GoDaddy to Neurax Host.

The process involves downloading your WordPress website files, exporting the WordPress database from GoDaddy, and restoring both on Neurax Host using cPanel.

This guide focuses on GoDaddy's Linux Web Hosting with cPanel. The exact steps may differ for GoDaddy Managed WordPress plans or other hosting environments.

The migration process also depends on website size, database size, available hosting tools, and server limits.

Need help with migration? Neurax Host advertises free website migration assistance. If you prefer not to complete the process manually, contact Neurax Host support to confirm eligibility and request assistance.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:

  • An active GoDaddy hosting account with cPanel access.
  • A WordPress website hosted on GoDaddy.
  • An active Neurax Host hosting account with cPanel access.
  • Access to your domain and DNS management settings.
  • WordPress administrator login credentials.
  • Sufficient storage space on your computer.
  • A complete backup of your website files and database.
  • A record of your existing DNS and email settings.

Important: Do not cancel your GoDaddy hosting account until the migrated website has been fully tested on Neurax Host.

If your website receives orders, bookings, or customer enquiries, plan the migration carefully to avoid losing new data during the transition.

Phase 1: Export Website from GoDaddy

Step 1: Access GoDaddy Hosting

Purpose: Open the hosting account containing your WordPress website.

Instructions:

  1. Log in to your GoDaddy account.
  2. Open My Products.
  3. Locate your Web Hosting (cPanel) account.
  4. Click Manage.
  5. Select cPanel Admin or the available cPanel access option.

Expected Outcome: The cPanel dashboard opens successfully.

Note: Menu labels may vary depending on your GoDaddy hosting plan and account interface.

Step 2: Create and Download Website Files Backup

Purpose: Create a complete backup of the WordPress website files.

Instructions:

  1. In cPanel, locate the available backup tools.
  2. Check whether Backup, Backup Wizard, or another backup feature is available for your account.
  3. If a Home Directory backup option is available, use it to download the appropriate backup.
  4. If a suitable backup tool is unavailable, open File Manager.
  5. Navigate to the actual document root of your WordPress website.
  6. Enable Show Hidden Files (dotfiles), if required.
  7. Select the WordPress files and folders, including hidden files such as .htaccess.
  8. Click Compress and select ZIP Archive if supported.
  9. Create the archive and download it to your computer.
  10. Verify that the backup contains the correct WordPress installation files.

Expected Outcome: A compressed backup containing the website files is downloaded.

Important: JetBackup 5 or other third-party backup tools may not be available on every GoDaddy hosting plan. Use the backup method supported by your account.

Also confirm that the backup includes the required WordPress files and hidden configuration files.

Archive structure warning: A full home-directory backup may contain additional directories and account files. Do not extract the entire home-directory backup directly into your new website's document root. Locate and restore only the appropriate website files.

Step 3: Export the WordPress Database

Purpose: Download the MySQL database used by your WordPress website.

Instructions:

  1. Return to the GoDaddy cPanel homepage.
  2. Identify the database associated with your WordPress installation.
  3. If Backup Wizard is available, open it.
  4. Select Back Up.
  5. Choose MySQL Databases under the partial backup options, if available.
  6. Select the correct WordPress database.
  7. Download the database backup.

Alternative method using phpMyAdmin:

  1. Open phpMyAdmin in GoDaddy cPanel.
  2. Select the WordPress database from the left sidebar.
  3. Confirm that the database contains your WordPress tables.
  4. Click Export.
  5. Choose Quick as the export method, if appropriate.
  6. Select SQL as the format.
  7. Click Go.
  8. Download the SQL file to your computer.

Expected Outcome: A WordPress database backup is downloaded.

Example filename: database.sql

Important: Database table names do not always begin with wp_. Check the DB_NAME and $table_prefix settings in wp-config.php if you are unsure which database belongs to your website.

Large databases may require an alternative export method because of phpMyAdmin or server limits.

Step 4: Verify Downloaded Files

Purpose: Ensure all required migration files are available locally.

Instructions:

  1. Open the folder containing your downloaded backups.
  2. Confirm that the website file archive exists.
  3. Verify that the database backup is present.
  4. Check that both downloads completed successfully.
  5. Inspect the backup format and directory structure.

Example files:

  • website-files.zip
  • database.sql

Expected Outcome: The website files and database backup are available on your computer.

Important: Backup filenames and formats may differ depending on the tool used. Some cPanel database backups are compressed, such as .sql.gz. If needed, extract or prepare the SQL file using a method supported by the destination import tool.

Keep a secure copy of both backups before proceeding.

Phase 2: Upload Website to Neurax Host

Step 5: Log in to Neurax cPanel

Purpose: Access your destination hosting account.

Step 7: Upload Website Backup

Purpose: Transfer the WordPress website files to Neurax Host.

Instructions:

  1. Open the verified document root.
  2. Click Upload.
  3. Select the actual website backup archive downloaded from GoDaddy.
  4. Wait until the upload reaches 100%.
  5. Return to File Manager.
  6. Confirm that the archive appears.

Expected Outcome: The website backup archive is uploaded successfully.

Important: Filenames such as public_html.zip, backup.zip, or website-files.zip are examples only. Upload the actual archive created during the backup process.

If the archive exceeds the available upload limit, use SFTP or another supported transfer method.

Step 8: Extract the Website Files

Purpose: Restore the WordPress website files on Neurax Host.

Instructions:

  1. Select the uploaded website archive.
  2. Click Extract.
  3. Choose the actual document root assigned to your domain.
  4. Wait until extraction finishes.
  5. Verify that the WordPress files are located directly inside the correct directory.

Check for:

  • wp-admin
  • wp-content
  • wp-includes
  • wp-config.php
  • index.php

Also verify that hidden files such as .htaccess were transferred where applicable.

Expected Outcome: The WordPress files are restored successfully.

Important: Avoid unnecessary nested folders.

For example, if public_html is the verified document root:

Incorrect:

public_html/public_html/wp-admin

Correct:

public_html/wp-admin

Security reminder: Backup archives may contain sensitive information. Remove temporary archives from publicly accessible directories after extraction and verification, while keeping a secure backup elsewhere.

Phase 3: Create and Import Database

Step 9: Create a New Database

Purpose: Create a database that WordPress will use on Neurax Host.

Instructions:

  1. Open MySQL Databases, Manage My Databases, or the equivalent database management option in cPanel.
  2. Locate Create New Database.
  3. Enter a database name.
  4. Click Create Database.
  5. Record the complete database name.

Expected Outcome: A new database is created successfully.

Important: cPanel may add an account-specific prefix to the database name.

Step 10: Create a Database User

Purpose: Create a database user for WordPress.

Instructions:

  1. Locate Add New User.
  2. Enter a database username.
  3. Generate a strong, unique password.
  4. Click Create User.
  5. Save the complete username and password securely.

Expected Outcome: The database user is created successfully.

Step 11: Assign the User to the Database

Purpose: Grant the database user permission to access and modify the WordPress database.

Instructions:

  1. Locate Add User to Database.
  2. Select the newly created database user.
  3. Select the correct database.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Check ALL PRIVILEGES.
  6. Click Make Changes.
  7. Confirm that the user is assigned to the intended database.

Expected Outcome: The database user has the required permissions to access the WordPress database.

Step 12: Import the SQL Database

Purpose: Restore the WordPress database exported from GoDaddy.

Instructions:

  1. Open phpMyAdmin in Neurax cPanel.

  2. Select the newly created database.

  3. Click Import.

  4. Click Choose File.

  5. Select the SQL database backup exported from GoDaddy.

    Example: database.sql

  6. Click Go.

  7. Wait until the import finishes.

  8. Confirm that the WordPress tables appear.

Expected Outcome: The database imports successfully.

A success message may appear, such as:

Import has been successfully finished.

Important: If the database file exceeds phpMyAdmin import limits, check the available PHP and database import restrictions. Contact Neurax Host support for a suitable alternative import method.

Do not split large SQL files without understanding the database structure and import requirements.

Phase 4: Configure WordPress

Step 13: Edit wp-config.php

Purpose: Update WordPress to use the new database on Neurax Host.

Instructions:

  1. Open File Manager.
  2. Navigate to the verified WordPress document root.
  3. Locate wp-config.php.
  4. Click Edit.
  5. Find the database connection settings.
  6. Update the values using your Neurax Host database credentials.

Example configuration:

define('DB_NAME', 'YOUR_DATABASE_NAME');
define('DB_USER', 'YOUR_DATABASE_USERNAME');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'YOUR_DATABASE_PASSWORD');
define('DB_HOST', 'YOUR_DATABASE_HOST');

Replace the placeholders with the actual database details for your Neurax hosting account.

Important: Do not assume that DB_HOST must be localhost. Use the actual database hostname specified by Neurax Host.

Also verify the WordPress table prefix.

Example:

$table_prefix = 'wp_';

The prefix must match the imported WordPress database tables. Some websites use a different prefix.

  1. Save wp-config.php.
  2. Verify that the database settings are correct.

Expected Outcome: WordPress is configured to connect to the new database.

Phase 5: Verify Domain Configuration

Step 14: Verify the Domain

Purpose: Ensure that the domain is associated with the correct WordPress installation.

Instructions:

  1. Open Domains in Neurax cPanel.
  2. Locate your website domain.
  3. Check the Document Root assigned to the domain.
  4. Confirm that the WordPress files are located inside that exact directory.
  5. Verify the domain configuration.

Expected Outcome: The domain is mapped to the correct WordPress installation.

Important: The document root is not always /public_html. Use the actual directory configured for your domain.

Before changing public DNS records, test the migrated website using a supported preview method or a local hosts-file override, if appropriate.

Once the destination website is ready, update the required A record or nameserver settings using the values supplied for your Neurax hosting account.

If you change nameservers, preserve or recreate the required DNS records, including email-related MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records.

Keep your GoDaddy hosting account active until the migration is fully verified.

Phase 6: Verify Website Functionality

Step 15: Test the Website

Purpose: Confirm that the migrated WordPress website works correctly.

Instructions:

  1. Open the website using a supported testing method before DNS cutover.

  2. After DNS has been updated, open your domain in a browser.

    https://yourdomain.com

  3. Confirm that the website is loading from Neurax Host.

  4. Verify that the homepage loads successfully.

  5. Check important internal pages.

  6. Confirm that images display correctly.

  7. Test navigation menus and internal links.

  8. Submit a test contact form and verify delivery.

  9. Confirm that there are no database connection errors.

Expected Outcome: The website loads correctly from Neurax Host.

Step 16: Verify WordPress Admin Access

Purpose: Ensure that the WordPress dashboard functions correctly.

Instructions:

  1. Open the WordPress administrator login page.

    https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin

  2. Log in using your existing WordPress credentials.

  3. Confirm that the dashboard opens.

  4. Check installed plugins and themes.

  5. Navigate to Settings → Permalinks.

  6. Click Save Changes without modifying the existing permalink structure.

  7. Test internal pages again.

  8. Verify that plugins and themes function correctly.

Expected Outcome: The WordPress dashboard opens successfully and the website's internal pages function correctly.

Phase 7: Enable SSL and HTTPS

Step 17: Enable SSL

Purpose: Secure the website using a valid SSL certificate.

Instructions:

  1. Open SSL/TLS Status or the available SSL management section in Neurax cPanel.
  2. Check whether a valid SSL certificate is installed.
  3. Run AutoSSL if available and required.
  4. Wait until the certificate is issued successfully.
  5. Open the website using HTTPS.
  6. Verify that the browser accepts the certificate.
  7. Confirm that the website loads securely.
  8. Return to Domains in cPanel.
  9. Enable Force HTTPS Redirect if the option is available.

Expected Outcome: The website loads securely over HTTPS and redirects HTTP visitors to HTTPS.

Important: Enable Force HTTPS Redirect only after confirming that the SSL certificate is active and HTTPS works correctly.

Additional Migration Considerations

1. Hidden Files and Complete Backups

WordPress websites may contain hidden configuration files that are important for website functionality.

For example, .htaccess may contain permalink, redirect, and access-control rules.

Before migrating:

  1. Enable Show Hidden Files in File Manager if required.
  2. Confirm that hidden files are included in the website backup.
  3. Verify that the archive contains the correct WordPress installation.
  4. Keep a secure copy of the website files and database.
  5. Remove temporary backup archives from public directories after migration.

2. DNS and Email Migration

Migrating WordPress files and the database does not automatically transfer email accounts or stored messages.

If your domain uses GoDaddy email services:

  1. Identify the current email provider.
  2. Back up important emails and mailbox data.
  3. Decide whether email will remain with the existing provider or move to Neurax Host.
  4. If moving email, create the required destination email accounts.
  5. Transfer existing messages using a supported email migration method.
  6. Verify MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records.
  7. Test incoming and outgoing emails.

Important: Changing nameservers can affect email delivery if the required DNS records are not preserved.

3. Database Size and Import Limits

Large WordPress databases may exceed the import limits available through phpMyAdmin.

Before importing:

  1. Check the SQL backup file size.
  2. Confirm that the database backup is complete.
  3. Review the available PHP and database import limits.
  4. Use an appropriate alternative import method if required.
  5. Contact Neurax Host support when server limits prevent a normal import.

Important: Avoid making unsupported changes to SQL backup files. A damaged or incomplete database import can prevent WordPress from functioning correctly.

4. WordPress Domain URL Changes

If you are keeping the same domain name, a full URL replacement is usually unnecessary.

If you are changing the domain name, WordPress URLs and internal links may need to be updated.

Recommended steps:

  1. Back up the database.
  2. Open WordPress Admin.
  3. Navigate to Settings → General.
  4. Review WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL).
  5. Update the values if the domain is changing.
  6. Use a WordPress-compatible search-and-replace tool where required.
  7. Clear website caches.
  8. Test pages, images, menus, and redirects.

Important: WordPress may store URLs in serialized database data. Avoid simple database-wide text replacement because it can damage serialized values.

5. Keep GoDaddy Hosting Active During Migration

Do not cancel your GoDaddy hosting account immediately after transferring the website.

Keep the original hosting service active until:

  • The new website is fully tested.
  • DNS changes have taken effect for your visitors.
  • WordPress Admin works correctly.
  • Forms, plugins, and images function properly.
  • Email services continue working.
  • A current backup is available.

If your website receives orders, bookings, comments, or customer submissions, arrange a final database synchronization or suitable maintenance window before DNS cutover.

Changes made on the old website after the database export will not automatically appear on Neurax Host.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. Can I migrate a website without connecting my domain immediately?

Answer: Yes. You can prepare and test a migrated website before updating public DNS records. Depending on your hosting configuration, testing may be possible using a local hosts-file override or another supported preview method. Contact Neurax Host support to confirm whether a temporary URL or testing subdomain is available.

Q2. Will migration delete my GoDaddy website?

Answer: No. Manual migration normally copies website files and database information without deleting the original website. Your GoDaddy website generally remains available unless you delete it or cancel the hosting service.

Q3. How long does WordPress migration take?

Answer: Migration time depends on website size, database size, internet speed, hosting limits, and website complexity. Smaller websites may take less time, while larger websites can require several hours or more. No fixed completion time is guaranteed.

Q4. Do I need coding knowledge to migrate WordPress?

Answer: Advanced coding knowledge is not required for a basic manual migration. Most tasks can be completed using hosting file managers, phpMyAdmin, and WordPress settings. However, familiarity with database credentials and DNS configuration is helpful.

Q5. Can I migrate only the files without the database?

Answer: Not for a complete standard WordPress migration. WordPress stores posts, pages, users, settings, and other information in its database. Both the necessary website files and database content must be transferred.

Q6. What files are mandatory for WordPress migration?

Answer: Important WordPress files and directories include:

  • wp-admin
  • wp-content
  • wp-includes
  • wp-config.php
  • index.php

Also transfer applicable hidden files, including .htaccess where present, and any custom files required by your website.

Q7. Why must wp-config.php be edited?

Answer: The new hosting environment may use different database credentials and a different database hostname. WordPress needs these details to connect to the imported database.

Q8. Can I use the same database name on Neurax Host?

Answer: Yes, if the name is available and permitted. However, cPanel may add an account-specific prefix. Always use the complete database name displayed in your Neurax hosting account.

Q9. Is it safe to delete ZIP files after migration?

Answer: Yes. Once the website has been tested successfully and a secure backup is stored elsewhere, uploaded ZIP archives can generally be removed from the hosting document root. This saves storage space and reduces the risk of exposing backup data.

Q10. How do I verify that migration succeeded?

Answer: Confirm that the homepage and internal pages load from Neurax Host, images display correctly, WordPress Admin works, plugins function, forms operate properly, and HTTPS is enabled. Also verify the database connection, DNS records, and any associated email services.

Q11. Does changing DNS immediately move the website?

Answer: No. Changing DNS records directs visitors toward the new hosting server as DNS caches update. Website files and database information must already be transferred. DNS resolution timing varies depending on caching, TTL settings, and DNS providers.

Q12. What should I do before starting migration?

Answer: Prepare the following:

  1. A complete website file backup.
  2. A complete WordPress database backup.
  3. Screenshots or records of important website settings.
  4. A record of DNS and email configurations.
  5. A migration plan to reduce the risk of losing new orders, bookings, or website changes.

These precautions make recovery and troubleshooting easier.

Q13. Does WordPress migration automatically transfer email accounts?

Answer: No. WordPress website migration does not automatically transfer email accounts or stored messages. If you use GoDaddy email, plan a separate email migration and verify the required email DNS records.

Q14. Do I need to change WordPress URLs after migration?

Answer: If you are keeping the same domain, a full URL replacement is usually unnecessary. If the domain is changing, update the WordPress URLs and internal links using a method that safely handles serialized database data.

Q15. Does Neurax Host offer free website migration?

Answer: Neurax Host advertises free website migration assistance. Contact the support team to confirm eligibility, requirements, and the available migration service for your hosting plan.
