Hey all,

I need some help putting a website on a different hosting account. I had a site built for a friend and I built it on my hosting account but now I need to move the site to their hosting account but I dont want to mess anything up in the process.

Can anyone do this? If you can we can work out a price.


Thanks

Steve

If you do not have any databases - upload the site to the new host, set up the domain with the new host and point the domain to the folder, then change the DNS with your registrar.

If you have a database:
1) Back up the database and then restore it to the new host
2) Back up your site - then on the backup (local) change the database configuration page to match the new database
3) Repeat above as if you do not have a database.

Some forums & blogs also look at files though the directory structure so you might have to change some of those, too.
