网上冲浪指南

I migrated this blog site to Hawk Host last weekend, it doesn’t take much time, about 2~3 hours.

• Create a new database and a database user for WordPress
• Upload public_html with rsync FTP is too slow
  • rsync -avhP -e ssh ./public_html host-server:~/path/to/website/public_html
• Update DNS records on CloudFlare

My previous hosting service provider set up a mailer for me.

After migration, the mail notification didn’t work, so I installed an SMTP plugin for WordPress.

WP Mail SMTP by WPForms – The Most Popular SMTP and Email Log Plugin – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org
