All you need to do is enter your details and click on the start migration button & wait for your migration to complete.

This is the process of transferring a WordPress installation from your local development environment to a production server. So that it is publicly accessible.
This is the process of migrating a live WordPress website such as example.com to example-new.com. With our server to server transfer we are able to do this, directly from within our web interface. Without installing any additional software or plugins.

installation from a live publicly accessible website and
install it in your local development environment.
