    <p>There are a number of ways to migrate a Wordpress site.</p> <p><strong>Plugin route (easiest)</strong> With plugins I'd suggest duplicator if you want something pretty standard (like a single site with a pretty standard configuration...no multi-site or BuddyPress). And if you're willing to spring a little cash BackupBuddy works well too but falls short for more complex setups.</p> <p><strong>Manual route</strong> Assuming your site's url will stay the same you could just do a MySQL dump and move your PhP files from the root of your Wordpress setup. This tends to be buggy as Wordpress wasn't really designed to move in this way but with a bit of fiddling around you'll get the site back up.</p> <p>I'd only choose this route if you're really comfortable with MySQL management and have at least a bit of a background programming PhP or else it could get frustrating.</p> <p><strong>Rebuild Option</strong> You could just reverse engineer your site. So imagine your server went down but you had backups of your entire site: exports, themes, plugins etc. You could just re-install Wordpress then use the Wordpress importer plugin to get your data, then tweak it all to make it pretty. A useful resource for this approach is <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress" rel="nofollow">Wordpress Codex article on Migrations.</a></p> <p><strong>Rsync route</strong> This one I haven't done myself yet but if you're extremely comfortable with your server environment and have root access you could use a tool like rsync to literally clone the server. From what I understand this is similar to how disc images work but I honestly can't tell you much more than that. I'd recommend checking out <a href="http://rsync.samba.org/" rel="nofollow">Rsync Documentation</a> for more on that.</p>
