    So I have an active WP site which needs migration. I have setup a temporary addon domain and pointed it to my new server. So when I am importing the backup from the original server, can I import it on to the temporary addon domain and then once the import is complete, point the original domain to new server and will it work fine ?

    OR I have to point the original website to the new server and then import the file?

    Hi Lesley,

    I have done the export. The problem is to migrate the content to a new server keeping the same links. Only server is changing, domain is the same.

    My problem is I have the original website test1.com and I need to transfer it to a new server. I have a test2.com at the moment, so my question is if I import it to test2.com will I be able to it as point test1.com back to the server to test2.com server and access the links as test1.com? I am wondering this because my site is 200 MB and I would like to have minimal downtime.
