1. Make a duplicate of the wp site, use duplicator pls.
2. Setup on that hosting the apples-dot-com site on that new hosting do nothing about its dns records.
3. Setup in your hosts file the apples-dot-com domain like this:apples-dot-com xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the new hosting server IP address, this has to respond to that domain and after a few refreshes or browser close you should see the new hosting frontpage for apples-dot-com.
5. Wipe the current hosting demopage from the new hosting (via ftp or controlpanel)
4. Copy all files from that duplicator package (zip+installer) to the new hosting docroot.
6. Setup the mysql database for the new site, copy the details for later :)
5. Call the installer.php from apples-dot-com/installer.php
6. Follow the instructions and setup the site on the new domain (it will detect the apples-dot-com domain change and to the necessary things)
7. Site now works on the apples-dot-com domain you can change the DNS records to make it live.
- You can check this detail: Calling apples-dot-com from your phone after a few refresh it should show the wp site.8. Remove the added line from your hosts file.
9. Do the necessary changes etc.
+10 use wp multi domain setup to point the two domains to the same site- ahaha forgot to add the database setup lol.sted
