 * Hi,
 * i have just got a new hosting company, so i backed up my database and files from
   the hold server and uploaded everything into the new server
 * installed wordpress and imported the old database into the current one,
    my new
   blog looks exactly like my old one, but when ever you click on a link in my new
   blog, it redirects to my old blog, also i can not log in wp-admin in my new blog,
   it redirects to my old blog and says: No Upgrade Required
 * Your WordPress database is already up-to-date!
 * thank you!

 * You should open your database dump in a text editor and do a find/replace to 
   change all instances of your old url to your new one. Then drop your tables and
   import again.

 * If your url is the same as it was before — i.e. domain.com — have you allowed
   time for the new IP address to be populated on the Domain Name Servers?
 * Try typing in the IP address and see what you get.
