Step 1 - Getting your new account ready for your website

• Login to your new cpanel account, click on the "MySQL" icon.
• Create a new database
• Create a new database username and password
• Then assign the new user to the database giving the user full access rights to the database
• Make sure you right down this information every step of the way.

Step 2 - Getting your website ready to migrate

• You will need to access your current hosts control panel to access your files and database
• Access your phpMyAdmin and export your database and save to your computer
• Access your file manager and zip/compress the entire website (generally found in your public_html folder or htdocs folder).
• Download the compressed website zip file to your computer.

Step 3 - Uploading your files to your new account

• Access your new cpanel and click on the phpMyAdmin icon.
• Click on the new database you created
• Import your downloaded database file from your old host
• Go back to the cpanel and access the file manager
• Import your website zip file into the public_html folder
• Once uploaded, extract all files to the public_html folder
• Remove any "install or installation' folder
• Edit your configuration or config.php file with the new database information
• Edit your server path in the config file to /home/cpanelusername/public_html/
• Check to make sure your .htaccess file does not have any redirects in it that would block your website from showing live on the temp url until you switch your domain name DNS over to our servers.
• At this point you should be able to access your website with your temp url you received in your new account setup emails.
