I am purchasing a domain with wordpress on it, how hard is it to transfer everything? I am not good with the technical side at all of building a website.
Not too bad. It can be done in several different ways, depending on certain things like if both hosts use the same control panel. You can also do a dump of the database, and then transfer the file over manually from the old host to the new, and then import the database. Chris
Its easy enough. I am sure that the person that you are buying the site from can move it for you or you could post in this forum and someone would take care of it for a few bucks.
Well... Its not that Hard..! And it doesnt take much time too..! Well if you dont know how to do it..! Consult someone who can teach you or Easily give the task to someone like me and make them do and give them some Bucks..! But actually to your question, The task isnt that messy..! its Easy And Its Not too easy too..!
its not hard. all you need is to download all your files [temes and etc] in the server especially the database and upload it to your new host.
Moving a website or a blog from one server to another may take as quick as 3 minutes or more depending on how big the size of the website or blog is.
Hello, 3 steps 1) Take sql backup 2) take file backup and upload to new server 3) Restore database in new server
WP folder files + whole DB can do the trick, but please be sure to change WP domain in settings table then
