0ne_Freed0m Easy way to move webstie to a New Host.


#1 Create a new folder name it " old website " and connect to your old ftp and drag your website files into the "old website" folder we created on our desktop.

This is really only one way to do it, and it's also the slowest if you ask me.. I would recommend either using a cPanel backup, or using the file manager in the cPanel to compress all the files into a zipped folder then download that, and upload it to the new host and extract it, and just manually move the database over as you described. But good work, should help some people.

Good job, Nice tutorial. :)
I would like to add, that If you happen to be using wordpress, you'll have to modify the database to match your new URL. Although it's not that difficult, the duplicator plugin works awesome, and does all of this automatically.

Here is a thread for those who may need it- https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=3903754
Nice tutorial, wish I saw this awhile ago when I owned my forums.
