 * I just migrated this website: [http://www.eagerears.net](http://www.eagerears.net)
   
   from one planethoster server to another.
 * Then I put the website backup in the new files at the new server.
 * Now the website is not running…what is the problem? What to do about it?
 * Sincerely,
    Jasmijn

 * **Check with your host** to make sure you’re using the right database host name.
   When you migrated the site, it may also be that the database name, user, or password
   changed.
