Answer 1

Solution is here

after searching a lot i got one simple solution. Using Duplicator plugins or any other tool is either difficult or paid.

My simple solution is as follows

1. Backup and download all data from public html folder
2. Download the SQL database associated with the wordpress site.(in phpMyadmin you will find option of export database.)
3. Now upload the same files of public html folder to the public html folder of new hosting.

4. create a database with same name and import the tables from the downloaded SQL database.(in phpMyadmin you will find option of import.)

5. Now check the site if the domain is not changed

If you are changing domain name too by keeping the website same you need to follow few more steps

Download and place the interconnet/it tool in public html folder and follow the steps in documentation to use this tool.

case1- you are transferring site from one domain to another

if you are transferring from abc.com to xyz.com ins search and replace tool replace abc.com string with xyz.com .

case2- if you are changing the names only in website

if you are keeping the domain same but changing name of site e.g. ABC Technologies to XYZ technologies . Then replace ABC to XYZ

You can use this tool as per your need as it is applicable for database too.
