How do I transfer my wordpress blog from one host to another? I figured out how to download the database from the one host, but now how to configure it on the next. PS....I think this goes here?.....
just go to the phpmyadmin and save your database as SQL file and just create a new database in the new hosting and then again go to phpmyadmin and select the database and then run the SQL file all your files will be imported to new hosting and lately configure the wordpress with that new database name and password its quick and easy done hope it helps...
Or you can ask your host to move it for you. Mostly, if the host can do for you, you dont need to re-configure your wordpress, cause they can keep the same info.
yeah, it's not all that hard -- export / import database, copy files over. You may have some server config issues if it's a different type of server environment. I'd recommend setting your DNS TTL down to a few minutes so you switch back and forth between old and new to make sure it's all working.
