A great advantage of free blog hosting is that clients can create a blog and try it out for a couple of days before committing to it full time, without spending a cent. However, you have to watch out for several things when using free blog hosting services.
<blocqkquote>In the folder you downloaded earlier, locate your wp-config.php file. Open it with your favorite text editor and change the database settings to match the settings for the new database at your new host.
This is the part I have not been clear on in all of the tutorials I have found. Should the settings be obvious to everyone, or just people that understand database-speak?
The rest of the post is very helpful and I will use Lester's plugin now that you have given a bit more details.
Hey Mike,
The new database settings consist of the database name, the host / location of the database, and the password to the database, all of which your new host should either provide for you, or you will set up yourself through some sort of database control panel at your new host (look for MySQL database creation wizards).
I can't really be more specific without knowing your host and how they work, but you should be able to contact them and ask questions if you run into problems.

Greetings! I appreciate this blog – the app to backup a database is very useful, especially for a novice like myself.
I am having trouble. I am able to backup my database. I have tried several times to get my new wordpress installation going on my new host (hostgator). I have tried both installing WordPress using fantastico, and just ftp-ing the whole wordpress file onto the new host. I have edited the config file – using the sql info in the new wordpress install, and alternatively by just creating a database and using info and trying to just ftp the whole wordpress folder. I get errors when I try that, stating that something does not line up.
Any ideas?
I am having no luck past step 5. I get a message indicating a bad link when I try to install, and I can not access teh wp-admin site at my new server (hostgator) as it just takes me to my admin page at my current server.
Any ideas where to go from here?
thanks!!

I’ve built a WP site on my host and an addon domain I hadn’t used for a while…and now I want to move that WP site to a new host with another domain name. I get what you’re doing. Thanks very much. But then what do I do about all the links that refer to the old domain name? Thanks.
Best,
Douglas
If you’re switching domain names, then you’re going to lose all those old incoming links *unless* you retain ownership of the old domain name, set it as an alias for your site, and set permanent redirects for all the URLs from your old site to the new locations at your new site. This must be done by editing your .htaccess Good luck!
Well, I’ve run smack into a chicken-and-egg problem. I put my site together here on a local machine. When I restore the database on the remote server it also restores the WordPress settings for WordPress Address and Blog Address. This means all the links in the remote installation attempt to kick back to my local machine.
The local install throws errors when I try to remove the local paths. Dang. What to do?
I guess to answer my own question, one goes into the database with something like PHPmyadmin, finds the setting for the site URL and changes it. Then you have to go into the admin pages of the new site and change the blog address URL too. Then it’s good.
One last thing – the settings for WP-DBManager may not be the same on your new server. Best to double-check they are correct after the move.
Anyhow – your post was very helpful. Thanks for the clues!
