How can I move my wordpress blog to another server?

[einsteinsboi]

What is the least painful way to move my wordpress blog? I want to change it from my current host to another one. The domain name will remain the same. Also, both hosts have cpanel. I know how to do the nameserver change thing, now I want to know the simplest way to move the blog itself.

thanks

Do both your hosts have cPanel as their control panel?

Yes, both use cpanel.

switching to a new server is quick and simple wont even need to be any downtime.

transfer to your new host as you should know the ip of the newserver

once everything is transfered then switch nameservers

drop me a pm if you want it doing (small fee)

would`nt take more than 15-20 mins

I had read this but was trying to find a more direct way, maybe via cpanel or something.
