Backup & restore

• UpdraftPlus -> Google Drive

Setting

• Cloudflare:
  • DNS (change IP, A record)
  • TLS/SSL
• Non-Cloudflare: change the DNS record at the domain provider
• Set up WordPress on the new host and use the UpdraftPlus plugin to restore data
• The hosting provider may not install an SSL cert by default; you must install it in cPanel/DirectAdmin

Others

• Use localhost instead of the domain in wp-config.php
• rsync -P -e "ssh -p <port>" -avz source dest
• Problems with tar compression? Redirect output to /dev/null so only errors are shown, to find the error
