Moving a Joomla Website

We have a Joomla website; we want to move it to a different host.

How can that be accomplished (I realize the new host must support Joomla)?

Thanks.

Do you have access to the files on through the hosting provider, or is this through a web hosting site such as Web, Wix, etc?

ThinkSpaceSolutions,

I have access to the files. I am NOT a Joomla person, I am a long time web developer & I am very familiar with ftp, web MySQL databases, etc.

Thanks

To ThinkSpaceSolutions,

I'm actually not 100% certain that the site is in Joomla.

How can I tell? I have full access to the site & all subfolders through ftp.

Thanks

Steven Harris

If you are using a hosting provider, you should be able to see installed applications.

I'm using 1 & 1; I can see all files on the site, 1 & 1 supports Joomla, I just need to determine if it really is Joomla or not.

I AM NOT a Joomla developer, I DO NOT know what to look for.

Thanks

Are you able to provide the site name? You can check the meta tag for any relevant hints/info. There are also some other tricks to look for.

I found out. There is a website whatcms.org. You just enter the url.

So now I need to know how to move it.

Thanks
