First Login to your SetupServer.io Account. Select your Server in which you want to migrate your web application or else add a new server.

Add a new “Blank App” to your server. If you don’t know how to add Blank App to your Server, see our documentation – Add App to Server and follow the instructions.

You can view your Blank App on your Application List. Now select that Blank App.

Now go to Migration page from left side navigation menu.

Now you will need to fill all the following details for migrating your web application.

After completing all the above details, click on “Migrate App” button to migrate your application to SetupServer from other sources or else migrate your application between two servers.

On the successful migration of your app, your app will be listed as Applications List with App Type as ‘WordPress‘ as you have migrated WordPress app to a different server and now there will be no Blank App present in the Application List.

Now add a website to your migrated app, and you are ready to go live again. See our documentation – Add Website to your App.
