Hello,
i am going to switch webhost for my forum.
i need to know how to do that?
if you could help in anyway pm me or leave it below
plzzzzzzzzz help
For your MyBB copy all you need to do is download all of the files on your old web hosting, copy them over to the new web hosting. Then edit the /inc/config.php with the new MySQL database and username and password (if they have changed at all).
Next you'll need to download/export a copy of your MySQL database on your old web host, and import it to the new MySQL database on the new web hosting.
i dont mind making a whol new site i just want the same forums and membes
It's simple.
Backup your DB and forum files on your comp.
Upload these on to tour new host. Via ftp upload forum files and via phpmyadmin import your DB. If DB is really large then import via ssh.
Make sure you keep directory structure same
After you have uploaded the DB, make appropriate changes in config.php file. Change in that file DB name, username and password.
Update the DNS and all will be fine.
Thanks
With those steps you won't lose anything, it'll be like you just moved domain names (if that). Everything will be saved from the old web hosting to the new one.
ok thanks so much guys...
