  Hi everyone,

  I am trying to migrate from bluehost to wordpress, because I no longer need separate hosting service with subscription fee.

  I am trying to move the following two websites currently hosted with bluehost:
  1) https://asianpolyglotview.com/ (Domain from Goddady)
  2) https://endworkat45.com (Domain from bluehost)

  My questions are:

  1) Is there an optimal plan on wordpress to host these two websites?

  2) I have tried migration from Tools -> Migration -> WordPress, but I keep seeing this error

  ‘413 status code for ‘POST /sites/217643736/imports/new’

  I tried splitting XML file but it still shows this error.

  3) Is there a way to migration everything in the same format?

  I really appreciate your help and input!

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Is there an optimal plan on wordpress to host these two websites?
  Is there a way to migration everything in the same format?

  If you want to migrate an exact copy of those sites (including all plugins and themes) that is possible by adding our migration plugin to your site: https://wordpress.com/support/import-using-move-to-wordpress-com/

  It is not possible to add plugins on our free sites (an upgrade is required to host your site on our managed servers, where it is possible to upload plugins/themes) so you will be prompted to upgrade to our Business Plan when you use the plugin to migrate:

  In addition to seamless migrations, our Business Plan offers these managed hosting advantages over other providers:

  • Automatic updates: Keeps WordPress, themes, and plugins up-to-date.
  • High-performance servers: Ensures fast loading times and smooth experience.
  • Enhanced security: Daily backups, malware scans, and SSL certificates included.
  • Priority support: Get help from our Happiness Engineers faster, including a live chat option for the fastest help

  I have tried migration from Tools -> Migration -> WordPress, but I keep seeing this error

  Looks like that was due to an error on our end so you are welcome to try again. Please note that this method moves your content only (pages, blog posts, uploaded media, etc.) but does not migrate your theme, plugins, or design settings. To do that you will want to use the plugin I mentioned above.

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
