    I want to export my website to another domain. Let’s say my current website is abc.com and it’s subdomain is store.abc.com. And the site is on WordPress but I don’t have it’s hosting credentials. So now I have exported both domain and subdomain’s files from tools > export option from WordPress dashboard. And now I want to export this site to another domain. I have already purchased a new domain and hosted my new site on Hostinger. How can I import the whole site with the subdomain one to the new domain?

    I have just purchased the hosting and haven’t done anything yet. I researched and found out a way to do this: Create a new database and install WordPress. then choose the same theme as the original domain’s theme. and from the WordPress dashboard, import the site. Let me know if I should do this. Also, what about the subdomain and any other challenges?

    Hi there,

    I’d like to clarify that you’ve contacted WordPress.com, which is a hosting platform. It seems like you’re looking for assistance with the WordPress software itself. For this, the best place to get help would be the official WordPress.org support forums. You can post your query there, and the community will guide you through the process. Here’s the link to the forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    Regarding your question about configuring your subdomain, I recommend contacting Hostinger’s support team. They will be able to provide you with specific guidance and steps to configure your subdomain correctly on their platform.

    Additionally, I want to mention that here at WordPress.com, we offer a range of managed hosting plans tailored to different needs, from personal blogs to large businesses. Our platform provides dedicated WordPress support, which might be beneficial for your site. If you’re interested, feel free to explore our plans here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/
