The easiest way to migrate a wordpress website across servers

Smachingtuck. It should work this way. There are a few caveats. Make sure that the systems are running the same sw versions. (php, sql etc) If they are not, you’ll want to test to make sure everything is working before you delete. Also, sometimes even if you upload the new database and name it the same, you may have different namespaces for the dbname / db username (it’s based on account usually) so you’ll want to watch that. Lastly, double check your .htaccess, it may have some specific server info you’ll want to address.
