Transferring WordPress Databases To New Hosting Accounts - An Instructional
If you’re anything like me, you have been frustrated in the past by trying to figure out exactly how to migrate WordPress databases when it comes time to either transfer to a new host or domain. Its complex, I know... but with some practice with the right method, this can actually become somewhat of a simple and straightforward task. Today, I am going to try and help you through the process today, but in order to use what I am about to teach you, you’re going to need to be somewhat familiar with the backend administration area for your hosting account so that you can download files, databases, and create new databases.
In your current hosting account, you will first need to access your phpMYadmin panel, and access the database that you need to migrate. If you are not sure how to access phpMYadmin, just ask your hosting provider, and they will be able to direct you to the right URL plus login credentials. Wait, what is phpMYadmin? It is the administration area within your hosting account for your mySQL databases, where you can edit tables, export and import databases. I know, this sounds confusing, but its quite easy. I promise.
In phpMYadmin, select the database that your WordPress blog uses. If you are unfamiliar with which database this is, just take a look in your WP-config file, as this will contain the right details. Once you know what database you are using, select it, and click on the export button. In here, you can simply download the database as a plain sql file to your computer.
Before you transfer the database to the new hosting account, you will first need to create a new database and assign a user to it, so that you can import the old database into it. A database can be transferred using restore function in certain hosting control panels, but as a rule of thumb, I avoid this as they can be quite buggy. In your administration area, simply create a new database and assign a user to it. Take note of the password, user name and database name - this is quite important.
Once you have created the new database and user, you will need to access it within your phpMYadmin area on the new hosting account, much like you did on the old hosting account. From first look, you should be able to see that the database is empty. This is completely fine, as it is a new database, there should be nothing contained within it. This is why you need to use the import function to upload the old SQL database into the new one. Simple. Just confirm that the table look full before you finish.
So, that is how to migrate WordPress databases. Sure, it is a little complicated, and whilst there are many other easier methods that utilize software applications out there, this is a basic overview of how you can get the job done fairly easy. As I mentioned earlier, this is somewhat of a sensitive process that needs to be followed word for word, otherwise you may risk doing damage to your database, so please be careful when doing this. If you are not confident in your ability, there are other methods that you can follow, but if you are confident, then give this process some practice.
