Hi, I want to move my blog from my existing host to Bluehost. Although I know the whole process...I am just too worried that I might break something, so asking for help. I can also pay a little if required. ALong with shifting the host I also want to move to a different domain name.... If you any anyother place where I can ask for help, please direct me there... Thanks..
I've gone through this process before and I know it can be scary. But it's really simple. Just make sure you back up EVERYTHING. First take your database backup and import on your new hosts server. Then take all the files from your wordpress installation and just move them to the new server. Then change your wp-config file to match your new database if needed. Then just change your nameservers to match your new host.
You can also try the services forum if you get stuck What Trakin said just copy all files over, export DB, create new DB(name, server, login and password the same as previous DB to keep it easy ), import DB, and edit the config file to fit your new site
Thanks Jaques and Archard. I know it is simple...but at the same time scary. I have gone thru literally all the posts on wordpress move ...I am still really nervous about this whole thing.. I have spent months on building traffic an getting subscribers...I want make sure that I don't screw up anything.... But it just made me feel better due to the words of you guys...thanks...
