If you are looking to move your existing hosting account from your previous host to Hostsailor, the best solution is provided below:
- Get a full backup of your files, folders, and databases from the old host.
- Login to the cPanel account with us.
- Open file manager and upload the files and folders to the public_html folder.
- If it is currently in a compressed format, you can simply extract it from the file manager itself.
- Once the files and folders are properly placed, you need to create DB as well as DB Users.
- Go to the Databases section in cPanel and create new DBs and users and make sure to provide proper permissions as well.
- Once done, you can restore the DB file backup from the PHPMyAdmin using the 'Import' option.
- Make sure that you have corrected the new DB details inside your configuration files(eg: wp-config.php)
- Once all done, test the website after changing the DNS or else by adding a hosts entry on your local machine.
