How to Migrate WordPress to us

We can migrate your wordpress website for £25.00.  We would need your login details for the WordPress admin area and your current hosts cPanel login details to be able to do this. Or follow these steps assuming your current host uses cPanel.

If you are using the same domain name:
1. Backup and download a copy of your public html file to your computer - this will download a zip file
2. Backup and download a copy of the MySQL database to your computer
3. Open File Manager in your new Buzme cPanel
4. Choose upload tab to select and upload your Zip file to the (inside) new public html folder
5. Extract the zip content and move the files out of the old public html file by selecting them with your mouse hold down shift key the click the move tab making sure the path of where you are moving ALL the files to is correct ie: public_html.  You will probably see something like this: public_html/public_html because you have the old public_html inside the new public_html folder.
6. Delete the old empty html file after moving the files (Make sure it is empty)
7. IMPORTANT Check that the .htaccess file has been moved in the process
8. In the cPanel go to MySQL Databases or MySQL Database Wizard to create a new MySQL Database using the same password if you can if not don't worry we can update this in (fig.9 below)
9. You can locate your password for your old database inside wp-config.php file in your public html in file manager right click on it and select EDIT - this opens the file and you will add the the newly created database name and user name and password if different from the old one - Remember to **SAVE** the file.

A section of the file content looks like this:
............................................................................
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'DATABASE NAME GOES HERE');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'USERNAME NAME GOES HERE');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'PASSWORD HERE');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
...........................................................................

10. In cPanel open PHPmyadmin - in this screen you will see your newly created database located just below information_schema on the left
11. Click on the new database name - it should be empty in the main screen on the right
12. Goto the IMPORT tab (it is the 6th tab along the top)
13. Under File to import: Select the Database your rectently dowloaded to your computer from the old ISP
14. Sroll to the bottom of that page and click **GO** - This will then import your old database
15. Double check the database name and user and password matches (inside public_html/wp-config.php fig.9) the new database details you have just created in fig. 8 - IMPORTANT They MUST match.
16. Change your domain name nameservers to point to us:
Name Server: NS27.BOXSECURED.COM
Name Server: NS28.BOXSECURED.COM
This can take up to 72 hours to update depending on your current ISP.
17. When the DNS nameserver change have updated - Go to your domain names URL and refresh the browser page and you should see a working copy of your website to login to with the same WP admin details.
