## Description

Siternet Website Migration helps you move a full WordPress site between hosts.

#### What it does

 * Export themes, plugins, uploads, and the database into a standard .zip backup
 * Import by drag-and-drop (uploads are chunked so typical PHP upload limits are
   less of a problem)
 * Rewrite links and media URLs to the destination domain after import
 * Keep a list of backups on the host for restore, download, or delete

#### Good to know

 * Backups created by this plugin use its own .zip format
 * Multisite is not supported in this version
 * Import/restore replaces the current site files and database — use carefully

## FAQ

### Does this work on shared hosting?

Yes, as long as the PHP ZipArchive extension is available and the site can write
to `wp-content`.

### Will import replace my current site?

Yes. Import and restore replace files and the database on the destination site. 
Create a backup first if you need a rollback.

### Are backups compatible with other migration plugins?

No. Use a .zip exported by this plugin.

### Is multisite supported?

Not in this version.
