No hosting hassle
You won’t have to buy extra hosting. You won’t have to reinstall WordPress, PHP and UpdraftPlus or bother with the whole migration process. Create a temporary test site with us in just a few clicks.

UpdraftClone FAQs
What’s the difference between migrating my site, which I can do with UpdraftPlus, and UpdraftClone?
UpdraftPlus gives you different options for migrating or cloning your WordPress website to another location. The option you choose depends on what you’re trying to achieve.
Can I buy tokens with the free version of UpdraftPlus?
Yes. You don’t need UpdraftPlus Premium to buy UpdraftClone tokens.
Is it easy to bring changes I make to the clone, back to the live site?
Yes. If there were no changes made to the live site whilst you’ve been making changes to the test site, then just use UpdraftPlus (Free or Premium) to migrate the changes back.
However, if your site has things like an active shop, comments or users who may make changes to the database, then you’ll need to be sure not to migrate conflicting changes across. See our migration guide for more details.
Where will my clone physically be hosted?
You can choose the region where your clone will be stored – either for convenience, or regulatory compliance.
