How do I migrate my website to a new hosting provider?

Migrating a website to a new host involves the following steps:

1. Backup Your Website: Download all files and databases from your current host.
2. Set Up Hosting on the New Server: Install WordPress or your CMS on the new host.
3. Upload Files & Database: Use FTP and phpMyAdmin to transfer data.
4. Update DNS Records: Change your domain’s name servers to point to the new host.
5. Test Before Going Live: Use a temporary URL or staging environment to check for issues.
Some hosting providers offer free migration services, making the transition smoother.
