    I have a website hosted on OpenLiteSpeed web server with updraftplus plugin installed.

    I already took the backup.

    Now I want to move the website to Nginx web server. (Create the website on Nginx server and restore the backup).

    Is there going to be any problem with that? Can I migrate website from one server type to another using updraftplus?

    Hi,

    Yes, you can move your website using the UpdraftPlus free version to any location/server as long as you are moving with the same domain/URL.

    Thanks,

    yup… I have seen many WordPress users scared to try Nginx cloud servers because they can install the new LEMP server, but not sure how to migrate data from their old cPanel Apache or Litespeed / OpenLitespeed hosting plans (maybe they are used to cPanel File Manager or something).

    Updraft is one of the easiest ways to migrate to Nginx.

    I think the problem is many users understand how to migrate their files using SFTP but not sure about the database. It’s very easy, just point your DNS to the new Nginx server and put a Maintenance Mode (briefly install fresh WordPress site, it will be overwritten afterwards) and then import the old data using Updraft or another backup plugin, and all done.

    Cloudflare also makes this easy because their DNS updates so rapidly.

    Updraft just keeps better, I did not expect it to survive a few years ago but the performance has gotten faster and functions more reliable than ever.
