 * I have a built WordPress site on a dummy server and domain name. I need to transfer
   the entire site exactly how it is to a new WordPress installed hosting account
   and new domain name. I have tried simply exporting the site and installing it
   to the new location but I get errors due to the size of my site as well as none
   of the setting match up to the existing site.
 * I heard of a way to split the .xml file into manageable pieces for WordPress 
   to process but its 470 kb so I would have to break it into thousands of smaller
   files which seems extremely absurd.
 * Any help would be extremely appreciated.
 * Thanks
