Move Wordpress To Another Site / Server
Hi,
A friend / client has asked me for some help to get his site live.
He has the development site set up on a demo server space, which i think is the exact same shared server as the live domain site that he wants to move it to, as they details are as follows:
DEMO: demosite.hostingcompany.co
FTP Link: web2.hostingcompany.co.uk
cPanel Link: web2.hostingcompany.co.uk:
LIVE: newsite.co.uk
FTP Link: web2.hostingcompany.co.uk
cPanel Link: web2.hostingcompany.co.uk:
What is the best way to move this site, if they are on the same shared sever. I am comfortable moving sites around, but not 100% what the best way is to approach the above, thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Jason,
This didn't work as planned. I kept getting an error when trying to import the DB.
I then realised that it was probably due to the fact that both accounts were on the same hosting server.
So i just ran an update on the DB and updated all of the urls and copied the files across to the other FTP (live) account.
When i log into the phpMyAdmin on the live account, the DB doesn't show up as it was set up on the old account.
I need to delete the old account from the hosting, however i presume this will delete the DB... can you recommend a way of resolving this, thanks again Jason.

I think you need to talk to the ISP to resolve this.
