On AroksDS hosting you can make a copy or clone of your WordPress site in three ways:
1. Backup via hosting panel (cPanel → “Files” → “Backup”)
In cPanel go to “Files” → “Backup”.
There you can:
- download the site files separately (archive of the WordPress folder),
- download the database separately (MySQL export),
- and save them on your computer or in the cloud.
This set (files archive + database file) is a full copy of your website.
2. Backup via installer
If the site was installed using the installer in hosting, you can create a single archive file in the same place that contains:
- all WordPress files,
- the database.
This is convenient when you want one package to download and later restore.
3. Cloning with the Duplicator plugin
To clone or move the site you can use the Duplicator plugin:
- for a small, fresh site the free version is enough,
- for larger sites you will need Duplicator Pro.
The plugin creates a package consisting of:
- the site archive (files + database),
- the installer.php file (installer).
How does migration / restore work?
To restore or move the site (for example, from a test subdomain to the main domain or to another hosting):
- Upload two files: the archive and installer.php to the root directory of the new site.
- In the browser, enter the address of the new domain with
…/installer.php
added (e.g. https://newdomain.com/installer.php).
Run the installer, which unpacks the archive and sets up the site under the new name or on the new server.
This is a quick way to clone or move a WordPress site without manually copying all elements.
