How can I change the domain name (free version of 000webhost) to other? I was trying to do that by using a plugin but the max upload file is not enough for me.
Any help?
Thanks in advance!
@Infinity thank you so much for the help in the other topic. Can you help me again?
Hey you cannot change the free 000webhostapp name to another sadly.
If you own insonias2000 for example and you wanted to use insonias2019 then you need to create a new website/application and start from fresh.
Ok. Thanks for the quick answer. Do you know how can I increase the ftp time window? Iâm always being disconnected when Iâm trying to do something and itâs driving me crazy
Also, do you know how to increase the maximum file size to be able to upload a large one?
No problem, so for migration between sites, if you backup your .sql database and your public_html files.
Then just a bit of configuration will be required.
backup public_html folder
access phpMyAdmin EXPORT .SQL file.
upload public_html folder onto new site
create new database and access phpMyAdmin IMPORT .SQL file.
edit wp-config.php to reflect the new values of the database username password on new site.
access phpMyAdmin table wp-options and update SITE/HOME URL both to new site URL.
Iâm not able to connect to the âoriginalâ site using FileZilla even though Iâm able to connect to the other. It gives me a critical error: not possible to connect to the server.
Any idea?
You can change this via general settings on 000webhost.com
The passwords are normally randomly generated long strings of text and characters when you first created the website
Weird ⌠I changed the password and now itâs working. Iâm downloading the public_html folder now. Thanks once again. Maybe Iâll have more doubts
Itâs taking forever. I tried to do that but thereâs no option to compress the folder. I looked on google and it seems that FileZilla doesnât support that option.
I followed your tutorial but when I try to access the website using the new url it keeps me redirecting to the old one. I double checked if I made the changed the url in the database which I made.
What can be the problem?
Thank you for your time and patience!
You may not believe but I changed that and saved the file. I donât know why there xxxx instead of what I putted there
Itâs now working. Thanks a lot.
One last question: do you know why itâs so slow when loading? The website is not that fancy and doesnât have large images âŚ
Try clearing out your browser and cache maybe there is some stuff sitting around and hopefully it loads faster.
WordPress uses database though so we canât really do anything on that side of things.
Take a look at rate limiting, youâll likely bump into this using WordPress, see the Heartbeat plugin, disable and use this to lower requests.
