    Hello

    i want to move my wordpress website from a private linux server to a webhoster. But i dont know the right way to do this. Here is my suggestion:

    1. first i make a backup from my wordpress files an the databaseIch
    2. i transfer the wordpress files to the webspace via FTP

    3. i create a new database (webhoster) and import the old one via php- myadmin

    4. i change the password and the name of the database equivalent to the new database in my wp-config

    Is that all, or did i forgot something??

    Thank you!

    Here is a comprehensive guide on moving WordPress.

    1. Download your existing site files.
    2. Export your database – go in to mySQL and export the database.
    3. Move the backed up files and database into a new folder – somewhere safe – this is your site backup.
    4. Log in to the site you want to move and go to Settings > General, then change the URLs. (ie from http://example.com/ to http://example.net ) – save the settings and expect to see a 404 page.
    5. Download your site files again.
    6. Export the database again.
    7. Edit wp-config.php with the new server’s mySQL database name, user and password.
    8. Upload the files.
    9. Import the database on the new server.

    I hope this helps.
