What It Does

Everything You Need to Move, Back Up, and Manage WordPress

🚀

Bulletproof Migration

Move your entire WordPress site — files, database, media, config — to a new host in minutes.
AJAX-chunked transfers handle sites of any size without hitting PHP memory or timeout limits.

💾

Backup & Restore

One-click full site backups with chunked processing that works within
shared hosting constraints.
Restore with a GitHub-style confirmation to prevent accidents.

🛠️

Database Tools Pro

Search & replace across your database, export/import tables, repair and optimize — all from
inside WordPress. No phpMyAdmin or SSH required.

🔄

Cross-Platform Ready

Migrating from Windows to Linux? SantoClone automatically handles backslash path conversions in Elementor data, WP Rocket configs, and serialized options — the stuff that silently breaks other migration tools.

🔒

Shared Hosting Friendly

Built specifically for environments where other backup plugins fail.
Low memory footprint, chunked file operations, and no shell access required.
Works on GoDaddy, Bluehost, IONOS — all of them.

☁️

Remote Storage Pro

Send backups offsite automatically. Supports Amazon S3, Google Drive,
and SFTP destinations so your backups survive even if your server doesn’t.

How It Works

Three Steps. That’s It.

Install SantoClone

Install the free plugin on both your old and new WordPress sites. Takes 30 seconds.

Create a Backup

One click creates a complete package — files, database, media, everything. Chunked processing handles any site size.

Restore on New Host

Upload the backup to your new site and restore. SantoClone handles URL replacement, path fixes, and serialized data — automatically.

Designed for the Worst Hosts on Earth

Most migration plugins assume generous server resources. Real-world shared hosting has
tight memory limits, short PHP timeouts, and no shell access.
SantoClone was engineered from day one to work within these constraints, not around them.

Frequently Asked Questions

There’s no practical limit. SantoClone uses AJAX-chunked processing, which breaks the backup into small pieces that fit within your server’s memory and timeout limits. Whether your site is 500MB or 50GB, each chunk processes independently. This is the same approach enterprise backup tools use — adapted for WordPress.

Yes — that’s what SantoClone was built for. We’ve tested it on GoDaddy, Bluehost, HostGator, IONOS, DreamHost, and other restrictive environments. No SSH, no WP-CLI, no generous memory limits required. If your host can run WordPress, SantoClone can back it up.

Two things. First, SantoClone was designed from the ground up for restrictive hosting — not retrofitted. Every operation is chunked by default, not as a fallback. Second, cross-platform path handling. If you’re moving from a Windows local dev environment (Laragon, XAMPP) to a Linux server, SantoClone automatically fixes backslash paths in serialized data, Elementor JSON, WP Rocket configs, and more. Other tools leave these broken, causing subtle site issues you might not notice for weeks.

No. Full backup, restore, and migration are included in the free version with no limits. Pro adds database management tools (search & replace, export, optimize), remote offsite storage, and scheduled automatic backups — features for ongoing site management rather than one-time migrations.
