Here’s an easier and quicker way of installing your websites without having to upload the backup files to your cPanel. This method requires a pre-installed WordPress site though.

You can install it on a freshly installed WP site or even on an old one that you want to replace.

Be warned though that this method will replace your existing WordPress site. The import process will overwrite your website including the database, media, plugins, and themes.

So it’s not advisable to do this on an existing site with content that you don’t want to lose.

This method is great for:

  1. Any webhost and domain as long as WordPress is already installed.
  2. Webhosts that offer a one-click install for WordPress.
  3. Replacing an existing WP site or even an old one.
