Strider Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 There is no real easy way, to do this. There is always a chance of losing some data in the process of moving. The best way to do it, is right before you physically move the files over, take a download of the db, and download the site, and then upload it to the new server. Also notify your pilots that there may be down time while you move servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpalmer800 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Right before you move the data put phpVMS into maintenance mode so that no changes are made. And then follow the steps the @Mr. Bean gave you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freshJet Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I did this in September for the first time and the only thing I lost was my forum skin. That was JustHost's fault. If you are moving from JustHost: 1. Good choice 2. DON'T USE THEIR BACKUP SYSTEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
