    Basically these are the needed steps:
    - back up database from old server
    - back up files
    - upload files to new server
    - create database on new server (from CPanel or other hosting panel that you have)
    - import the SQL to the new database
    - configure wordpress to point to the new database name, user and password in wp-config.php

    Have if followed these steps? If so, what error are you getting?
    Have you changed domain as well, or it's the same domain?

    Ridem thanks for the advice. I have realised that I have not uploaded the upload folder. So now its working fine.

    Thanks for your help
