II. Transfer website data to HestiaCP
To transfer website data to HestiaCP, you can follow these steps.
In this tutorial, I will work with the WordPress source code. For other source codes, you can also do the same steps, the only difference is in the database configuration step in the connection string.
Step 1: Check available data
To upload the available source code to HestiaCP, you need to prepare the following data:
- Source code: This is the source code of the website including the core, theme, plugin, folder containing image data.
- Database: The database of the website above, this file is usually in the format
*.sql
And the illustration below is my available source code including a backup.zip file and *.sql
If you haven’t compressed the source code yet, You will need to compress the source code into a .zip file to upload to HestiaCP to extract it. Once done, proceed to the next steps.
Step 2: Login to HestiaCP in User
First, log in to the User to install WordPress. click on the => ⏩ icon, as shown below. Or you can log in directly from https://my-ip:8083 with the user and password created earlier.

You will need to create a new database account to import the *.sql file. To create, you click DB and select Add Database.
In this interface, you enter information as follows:

Next, you choose 1 > 2 > 3 >4 sequentially which I numbered in order to import the database:
When the import is complete, check and correct the URL SITE/HOME name. If you change the domain name, double-click on the number 3 box and enter the domain name to change.
Step 6: Connect Database to the source code
This is the final step to complete the website transfer from local to the host. You will configure the database account created in Step 5 into the source code uploaded in Step 4.
