Pricing Migrator

Yes. Migrator is free and open source under GPLv2. The free edition backs up and migrates your whole site with no artificial size limit, on a schedule if you like, with a copy to FTP or a folder. It also copies a live site to another server over WP-CLI. PRO adds incremental backups, cloud storage, multisite, server-to-server transfer from wp-admin and encryption.

Yes, if the new server has WP-CLI. Install Migrator on both sites. On the old one, switch on Migrator > Pull and Push. On the new one, run wp migrator pull with the old site's address. The first run prints a key: paste it on the old site's Pull and Push screen and run the command again. A server without the OpenSSL extension cannot check keys, so there you set a connection token and add --secret=<token>. The database and wp-content travel over HTTP in small pieces, an interrupted pull carries on where it stopped, and the next run fetches only what changed. The table prefixes must match. Without WP-CLI, the usual route still works: back up to a file and restore it on the new server.

No. Migrator is self-hosted. The backup runs on your own server and produces a single file you control, with no third-party account. It leaves the server only if you add a destination yourself: an FTP server or a folder.

Yes. The same archive restores a site in place after a problem, or migrates and clones it to a new host or domain with serialization-safe URL rewriting.

Migrator checks the archive before the import, so an unfinished backup is refused before anything changes. It then snapshots the database and puts it back automatically if the database import or the URL rewrite fails. If a later step fails, such as extracting files, the site is left partly restored and the message says where the previous database dump is, so you can restore it by hand.

Yes. A WooCommerce store is a WordPress site with extra tables and serialized settings, so the same complete backup and serialization-safe migration applies. Order, product and settings data move with the rest of the database.

They all back up and migrate WordPress, and the differences sit in the free tier. Migrator free has no size limit and takes a database snapshot before every import that is restored automatically if the database import fails. All-in-One WP Migration is bounded by your host's PHP limits and sells a $69/yr extension to lift them. Duplicator states that its free edition makes backups of any size and encrypts archives. Migrator gives you scheduling and FTP or folder copies for free, as WPvivid and UpdraftPlus do, and those two add some free cloud destinations too.

The archive holds the database and wp-content. It does not include WordPress core or wp-config.php. node_modules and .git folders are skipped. A restore also needs a matching database table prefix.
