In order to transfer your Wix website to another host, the first thing you need to do is export your Wix site. To do this, go to your Wix dashboard and click on the “Export Site” button.
Once you have exported your site, you will need to download the ZIP file that is generated. Once you have downloaded the ZIP file, you will need to unzip it and save it to your computer.
The next thing you need to do is create a new account with the host that you want to transfer your Wix website to. Once you have created an account with the new host, you will need to upload the files that you exported from your Wix site. To do this, most hosts will provide you with an FTP client or some other method of uploading files.
Once you have uploaded the files, you will need to create a database for your website. Most hosts will provide you with a tool for creating databases, such as phpMyAdmin. Once you have created a database, you will need to import the data from the ZIP file that you exported from your Wix site.
The last thing you need to do is edit the configuration file for your website. This file is typically called “config.php” or “database.php”. You will need to edit this file and update the values for the following keys: ‘DB_NAME’, ‘DB_USER’, ‘DB_PASSWORD’, and ‘DB_HOST’.
Once you have updated these values, you should save the file and upload it back to your server. That’s it! You have successfully transferred your Wix website to another host.
