I’d like to try Devkinsta for sites I’m hosting at Inmotion. No disrespect for Kinsta, but that’s been a good host for me.
It’s not clear if that’s straightforward, especially if I’m not using a staging site. (In one sense, I’d be using devkinsta to set up a staging site on my home machine.)
Will this work for me?

Hey @daveburstein,
I think the easiest way to pick up a migrator plugin and just export your site from DevKinsta. 🙂
Here is a tutorial about WordPress Duplicator plugin: [How to Migrate to Kinsta with the WordPress Duplicator Plugin](https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/migrate-wordpress-duplicator-plugin/)
(I’d also recomment All-In-One WP migration plugin: [All-in-One WP Migration – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org](https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/))
If you wouldn’t use any plugin you can do that:
1. Export your database through Database Manager in DevKinsta
2. Upload your WP files to your host
3. Import database
4. Run WP-CLI search & replace
Hope it helps 🙂
