    I have a wordpress blog which I need to transfer from one domain name to another.
    My domain I was using was a co.cc domain name and they took my domain name as I was getting traffic to that domain name.Now I cant login to that co.cc.
    So here I cant import the files from the Tools option in wordpress.
    I want to know how can you transfer the blog from one domain name to another domain name while copying all the posts,images,gallery,comments&all other details and settings.
    Thanks

    first backup your database, and download all files in your current domain.

    create a new database in your new domain hosting.then upload all files to new domain and change wp-config.php to your new database details.

    and go to database admin and import database backup files.

    now you have moved your blog.

    There is a section on the wotdpress site that explains how to do it. I was looking for it but could not find it. What you want to do isn't very complicated, I jut can't remember the necessary steps.

    You have to copy all files and put them to a new domain. Change wp-config.php and that's it

    My hosting provider is no longer supporting the free WordPress blog service, so I need to find a new home also.
