By , Founder · Updated

You can use the WP Staging Pro backup and migration plugin to copy and migrate your self-hosted WordPress website to the wordpress.com platform or migrate from wordpress.com to any other hosting provider.

Depending on your existing hosting provider, the steps may vary slightly, but they are generally very similar. If your hosting provider is not listed below, choose one of the other guides and follow the steps similarly.

If you want to see instructions for another hosting provider or need help, please contact us.
