How you can migrate your website from Hostinger to Another Hostinger Account?
To migrate the website from one Hostinger to another Hostinger account, to begin with, you need to create a backup of the entire website.
To migrate the website you need two backups, one for the website and another one for the database.
After completing the backup process you need to delete your website from the first hostinger account, then you’ll able to add the website on the 2nd hostinger account.
In some cases, the process of deleting the website can take up to 12 hours, but usually, this process takes around 5 to 10 minutes.
After adding the website to the 2nd Hostinger account you need to install WordPress again, then upload your website backup, and need to upload your database backup.
So let’s start the tutorial:
