    do you mean when accessing to your domain, nothing appears there? Did you check to make sure the configuration file was updated?

    Quite right.
    The config file must match the database setup.
    But that would not cause a blank screen it would state an error conecting to the database.

    I would dell all the files and re-upload them.
    Check the wp-config.php has the right data,and check the new database has the same info.

    define('DB_NAME', 'putyourdbnamehere'); // The name of the database
    define('DB_USER', 'usernamehere'); // Your MySQL username
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourpasswordhere'); // ...and password
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

    If it works on your old host and all the specs for your new server can run wordpress there should be no problems transfering the blog.

    Need any help throw me a pm.
