How to transfer phpld to hostgator?

I will transfer my directory to Hostgator, how will I do this?

Do I have to do some mysql setup?

 

backup your mysql db, download all the site files to a safe folder on your hd, upload the files to hostgator and use the sql you backed up.

Not sure how much knowledge you have around the area, but a simple explanation.

1. export your database from current hosting.
2. create your db and your user in your *new* hosting
3. change the db name in the .sql export to match that of your new db
4. upload your files and run the installer and use proper and new db info.
5. done.

 

the hostgator guys will take care of everything if you want... just ask them

 

Good point. If you have cpanel, hostgator will do it for free.
If you need help, please let me know.

 

Yeah, my directory is happy with hostgator for 1 year

Fast way, ask the root admin restore your CP backups and then install again if you was using CP hosting

 

Wow thanks guys! So they offer transfer for free? That would be great.

Thanks Antonio for the review, I'm actually still thinking whether Bluehost or Hostgator, since my concern is the unlimited domains feature as I have a lot of domains to be hosted.

 

I have tried both bluehost and hostgator.

For directory, I think you can try hostgator

 

How about with several addon domains? Have you encountered any problems?

 

Unlimited does not exists its just marketing method, technically unlimited cannot be hosted either there is always a CPU limit.

Cheers

 

You should be able to have a few add on domains.
And of course, you can always upgrade to a reseller account if needed.

 

Still confused but maybe I'll go with bluehost as they are cheaper.

Just a question, does phpadmin need to have the same version?
my old host is 2.8.01 while bluehost is 2.9.02, is this ok?

Also if I already have exported my sql from my old host, then how will I upload it to bluehost, is it thru import?

Anyone can tell me step by step procedure on how to transfer phpld pls?

 

Create a new database at new host . If you have cpanel at new host, just click mysql databases from cpanel main page. add new database, add new user, give access to new user for this database.

Use this documentation if you are not familiar with cpanel
http://www.cpanel.net/docs/cpanel/

Export the database from old host. You can use phpmyadmin of old host

Go to phpmyadmin of new host, select the database you just created. click import and upload the sql you got from old host.

upload your PHPLD files to new host, edit include/config.php and set mysql user name and password.

Done (I guess )

Version change of PHPmyadmin should not be an issue.

 

Wow thanks! I supposedly looking for someone to transfer my sites and I think I can manage it myself.

1 question: Do I have to install new phpld in my new host or not?

 

Really, there are two main things:
1. Transfer all files
2. Transfer the database
You would not need to reinstall if you do it this way

 

If you still have problem, let us know.

 

I already have moved my files and do the database import, but I have this error:

I already have changed my db info in config
