Yes my friend has a forum and it has more 5000 user registered on it he wants to move to a different hosting without losing any of his posts or users is there away? Thanks.
yes of course there is a way ...just create a back from the cpanel ( there is a option of backup ) and thn restore the DB and the site zipped files on your other host.You may need to change the config file ...
This article should answer most if not all of your questions. If the DB is the backup limit you may have to export it in tables.
The database should be exported first using phpmyadmin, then on the new server this file can be imported using bigdump script
It can probably get a bit bad or maybe can be smooth. I have done many database moving. If you like i can do it for you for something in return ($$)..Lemme know.
