Transfer blog from netfirms to another host

    I need some help with transfering a blog from my netfirms account to another host. I've never had to transfer a site before so I have no clue where to start :confused:

    On my new hosting account I have several sites seperated by some domains (IE healthy-aging-guide.info > healthy.abstroose.com).

    I guessed that I would need to transfer all the files from my netfirms account to a new subfolder on my new hosting account, but how do I go about importing the database?

    Thanks.

    Heres what you should do
    1. transfer all the files to another host, make sure you maintain the directory tree.
    2. Go to mysql databases in your cpanel and at bottom of the page you will find a link to phpmyadmin.click on it
    3. At the right you will find a drop down list in ur sidebar of your databases.
    4. Click on the database you want and click on export you will find a code put it in the another web host's phpmyadmin by going in import section.
    5. Use the addon domain to put the respective domain on its respective directory.
    if you need any more info. Pm me

    * backup your database (you can use db backup plugin for wp)
    * backup all of your image files.
    * upload all files to new server
    * active the old db on new server. the easiest way for this bigdump.php file. google it. you can find that file on google
