    Hello! To start with I should explain that my site URL is aspros.gr
    The site was previous located at another server and I moved it in which it is right now.
    The problem is that when I moved the site I forgot to move the database. So I realized when I was logged in the Cpanel of my new server that there is no database linked to aspros.gr
    I downloaded the wp-config.php and found that: define(‘DB_HOST’,
    is no “localhost” as it is usually but it is “‘db6.grserver.gr’);”
    Now how I can download the database that is stored there??

    How did you move it?

    I moved the files from the FTP but not the database. So the DB remained in the old server which I don’t have access now….

    I don’t think that there is much you can do if you don’t have access. When I move sites I usually either do cpanel backup and restore or use the Duplicator plugin. Cpanel is nice but some hosts don’t allow you access to backup/restore with it. But you can’t migrate a WP site without the database content.

    I cant access the previous server. The admin dashboard (aspros.gr/wp-admin) is accessible.
    THe question is how to download the DB when logged in the dashboard of wordpress and upload it in the new server?
    Will it work if I use a backup Plugin??? (Dropbox e.g)

    If it’s not a huge site then my favorite free plugin is Duplicator. I use it when I migrate sites from one server to another.
