WordPress Migration to Plesk (Vultr, Digital Ocean, etc.) With Zero Downtime

Today you'll learn to transfer a WordPress site from any host over to a Plesk server. This is very useful if you're thinking of running WordPress on a VPS like Vultr, Digital Ocean, Linode, AWS etc. We will go through two free methods, and work through common issues when performing a WordPress migration. A great way to try out Plesk is with a 30 day trial with Vultr: https://ideaspot.com.au/vultr (You'll automatically get a $100 credit to use for your first 30 days, no code needed - thanks Vultr!) If you've never tried setting up Plesk on a VPS before, try my previous tutorial: https://youtu.be/7vUl16bdW8Q For many of you, it may be worth getting an experience freelancer to do this job for you.
