Merging two WordPress installations

    I now have two WordPress installations, one on my own domain that I bought form the company that I am hosted with and another that seems to be hosted somewhere else.

    I am confused as to where my company site is hosted. A friend wo is a web designer moved my company site (which h designed by him and which he used to host on his own server). He moved it for me but I am not sure where to!

    The login for my personal site is http://www.[myname].com/wp-admin and the login for my business site is http://www.[mybusiness].co.uk/wp-admin

    I was wondering if it was possible to move them to the same place? How can I find out where the business site is hosted? (yes I know I could ask my friend, but I like to learn for myself and besides he is always very busy and I don;t like to impinge too much on his generosity.

    You could start by doing a http://whois.net/ search or a DNS lookup and follow the trail to the IP address.

    Yes, you can host two WordPress installations on most hosting accounts.

    If you posted the domain name I or someone else might have been able to help you with it 🙂

    `andrewstucken.com’

    Nameservers at iPage.

    appliedtranslations.co.uk

    Nameservers at UKCloudDND.com

    You will still need to contact your friend for the log in info to where that site is hosted; can’t move it without logging in to the hosting control panel 🙂

    andrewstucken.com is hosted by http://ipage.com
    appliedtranslations.co.uk is hosted by http://www.eukhost.com/

    You need to have the login details to be able to move either of these sites. You should decide which host you want to continue using and follow the http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Moving_WordPress guide to move the other website to the host you choose.

    You may want to ask your friend (the web designer) to help you 🙂

    Great, tnanks Keith. I agree, the simplest thing is to ask him.
