How to transfer Wordpress from 1&1 Ionos to Digital Ocean

@tlumnah - sorry for the delay. I hope you were able to solve your request in the meantime and/or through our facebook group at plesk :-)

Plesk on DigitalOcean comes with a free 3 domain version by default. It has certain limitations but you can definitely run a full fledged hosting on it. Here are the details: www.plesk.com/upgrade (Web Admin SE is the edition installed on DigitalOcean by default).

Hello,

You could use the one-cllick WordPress but most probably it won’t be as secure as it should be. The better choice is if you give a try to Plesk one-click app that is free for up to 3 domains: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/plesk

It includes the WordPress toolkit that help you managing one or more of your WordPress instances. The whole hosting stack is secured on all levels.

Plesk is also integrated with the DigitalOcean DNS - once you authorized it over the DigitalOcean DNS Extension with your account, your domain & DNS is in sync with your DNS on DigitalOcean. You need to use ns1.digitalocean.com and ns2.digitalocean.com as your name servers in that case.

If you have any further questions, please reach out to us and you are welcome in our facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/plesk

Heya,

You can use both, but I’ll actually check if the site requires larger droplet in order to handle the traffic and day-to-day operations (especially if the site is e-commerce).

You can use the WP All in One plugin or Duplicator to migrate all of your WordPress websites.

If you have to move some of the data manually you can do that via ssh using scp or rsync. Another option is to use an FTP client like FileZilla
