How to move WordPress site to new server with zero downtime
1. Backup the database from the old site and import it to the new site. Pay attention to database names.
2. Change your wp-config.php in the old site to point to the database on the new site. Your old site will now run using database based on the new site and once you change the names servers new site will have the up to date database. (You may want to check with your new hosting if they allow outside database access first. If not, you can skip this step and transfer the database at the end, when the nameserver change propagated)
3. Backup your entire WordPress installation from the old site (this will include all your uploads, themes, plugins)
4. Unpack your WordPress installation to the new site
5. Change wp-config.php on the new site with new database details
6. Change the nameservers to point to the new site
7. That’s all now you only need to wait

Our previous web hosting provider had more down time and the respose time was too slow. We were not happy with the services our previous host was providing.it was impossible to rely on old server. So we decided to move our site to a new web host.after many attempts at transferring our websites and data from olde server to new one we found out about move-my-site. they managed to have our site transferred and fully functional with no data loss. they not only moved our site to new server but also configured and implemented on new server on time and with no data loss.
