Then you might find this tutorial helpful because we are going to actually transfer a website and recommend you the most important steps which should be taken care of while moving the website.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Step 1 : Taking a Backup of Database<\/strong><br \/>\nLogin to your Cpanel of the Hosting Account and click on the &#8216;Backups&#8217; option , where you will find all the options to download a backup of your &#8216;Home Directory&#8217; or &#8216;MySQL Database Backups&#8217;. Select the correct database of your blog and download a backup of the same. You can directly download the &#8216;Home Directory&#8217; which has all the files and themes but its recommended to manually login to your ftp and download your Blog Theme, Plugins &amp; Images from your Wp-Content &gt; Uploads folder.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step 2 : Installing WordPress<\/strong><br \/>\nIn this step you need to login to your new web host and install a fresh copy of wordpress, using Cpanel. It takes a maximum of 5minutes to do a clean installation of wordpress using Cpanel. Read this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makemoneynext.com\/installing-wordpress-cms-using-cpanel-fantastico\/\">WordPress installation tutorial<\/a> which can help you with easy screenshots.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step 3 : Restoring Database<\/strong><br \/>\nOnce you complete installing a fresh wordpress blog, you need to restore the database which you previously downloaded. Visit the Cpanel &gt; Backup option where there is a option to &#8216;Restore a MySQL Database&#8217; . Browse the database from your PC and restore it. Based on the size of your database it would take time to restore. Once this is done you need to copy the config.php file details from your previous host and upload in the new host which connects the new wordpress blog to the uploaded database.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step 4 : Restoring Design, Plugins &amp; Images<\/strong><br \/>\nStart uploading the theme of your blog to your wp-content&gt;themes folder, plugins previously installed to your new blog at wp-content&gt;plugins folder and the Images to the Uploads folder. Once this is done you can directly visit your blog and it will be fully working without any problems because we have restored everything which was essential for your blog.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Make sure you dont delete anything from your Old host unless your installation on your new host is completely successful. You should always keep backups on your system and always a fresh installation is recommended because this way you are overcome compromised files, broken codes etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to Transfer a WordPress based blog from one web hosting company to another one?
