  I used to be with wordpress.com and am looking to move my website back onto a business plan. I will be moving from cloudways.com and my website is about 64GB in plugins and media photos etc. What plugin do you recommend for the transfer? Also will I loose all wordpress likes and followers I have lots of the wordpress.org site. Also can I transfer the website without google picking up on it and then redirect the domain name afterwards?

  Hey @godinterestcom,

  What plugin do you recommend for the transfer?

  On the Business Plan, you can use a product like https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/

  WordPress.com has a well-detailed guide on how to transfer migrate your site, check the guide linked below:
  https://wordpress.com/support/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/

  Also will I loose all wordpress likes and followers I have lots of the wordpress.org site.

  You will get to keep your followers. You will just have to ask to help you move them to the new site.

  Also can I transfer the website without google picking up on it and then redirect the domain name afterwards?

  Google will take a few weeks to re-index your content at the new address, but once that process is complete your site should go back to the same search ranking that it was at before.

  Feel free to write back if you have any more questions.

  I hope this helps,

  Cheers!
