Recipe: Migrating a WordPress Blog Over AWS Lightsail

The blog you are currently on used to be hosted on some Virtual Private Server. My hosting provider decided to quit the business and I had to leave. He kindly suggested that I look at AWS Lightsail as a migration option. I did, and this is where this blog is now hosted.

This blog is not new. It already had content. It also has customisations like plugins and themes. This post will focus on how to export your content and customisations from a former blog and import them on Lightsail. Its accuracy may vary depending on the level of customisation your blog has. Command line (CLI) experience is required.
