Hi there, Sorry if this is a laughably simple question but here goes: I have agreed to update website A (with url A) on host A. Both are rubbish. I would like to build the new site with host B for various reasons (essentially I want / need more than one 50Mb database). If I build the new site B on host B under a temporary URL, I'll then need to transfer the domain from host A to host B. So my questions are: How easy is it to transfer url A to host B and to point to site B? What will happen to the approx. 70 email addresses on host A? Will I have to manually recreate them at host B and any emails stored on the server will be lost? Thanks so much in advance, p.s. I don't mind if site A is lost forever and I need to manually migrate the content...
If you have cPanel installed on the server, just do a full backup and restore via WHM and all of your current emails will be migrated alongside with your FTP files and MySQL database
Look its easy. Do full cpanel backup of your account, and send it to remote FTP, using your details of account at host B, then simply ask your provider to restore that account for you. It will then be having everything like emails, ftp accounts which you've at your old host. Incase you need my help, free free to PM me. I will do it for you for free.
