Whereas before babeh did not think to do data backup for babeh think the hosting company is reliable. But what can I say, a profit can not be achieved, the poor can not be denied, so the word stained hehehe ..

That is a very valuable lesson for Babeh, so once data can be saved, immediately do a backup once Babeh move to a new hosting a long time considering hosting these days are down.

As a reminder, and in order to share for a beginner like babeh, Babeh trying to write a practical way of backup blog and move wordpress blog hosting babeh experience. Hope can be useful.

How to Backup WordPress Blog

To perform backup wordpress blog, we need to make a copy of the wordpress installation stored on our hosting and make a copy of the blog database.

Steps to make a copy of the wordpress installation is as follows:

• Log into cPanel hosting by accessing: http://urlblog/cpanel. Enter your username and password.
• Click on "File Manager." Choose Webroot if the blog is hosting the main website or select the "Document Root for:" a blog that will be backed up. Click "go."
• Once File Manager opens, click "select all" to select all files to be our backup.
• Click on "Compress." File compression will usually named cgi-bin.zip. Change the file name let easy to remember, for example backupblog.zip.
• After the compression process is complete, click the compressed file, and click "download".

We already have a backup file installation our blog. But backups are useless if not equipped with a database.

We will now perform a database backup wordpress blog. The trick is:

• Of cPanel, click the "Backups."
• Click the database that will be our backup of the "Databases."
• The database will be downloaded to your computer.

Should do this step on a regular basis to avoid any possibility.

Moving Hosting

The steps that need to be done to make the shift from old hosting to new hosting are:

• Open a new cPanel hosting.
• Upload backup wordpress installation that we have to get above the public_html folder (if you have a blog on hosting the main domain) or to another folder that you want. This step can be done using the "file manager" in cPanel and use ftp software such as FileZilla.
• Once the upload is complete. Extract the file backup.

The next step is restoring the database. Do the following:

• Of the new cPanel hosting, click the "Backups."
• In the column " Restore a MySQL Database " click browse. Navigate to the backup database we've got above.
• Wait until the dumping process is completed.

To connect the database with blogs, have done the following steps:

• At cPanel, click on "My SQL Databases."
• Create a username and password in accordance with the installation of a blog which we extract the above steps on the "Add new user." Username and password needed on wp-config.php file.
• Next, connect the user to the database by selecting the "database" and "user" in the "Add User to Database." Then click add.

The next step is the domain directs our blog to a new hosting server by changing the name of our domain. Wait until the process resolves (propagation) is complete. It usually takes a little longer depending on the ISP that we use, ranging from 1 hour to 2 × 24 hours.

If we can not wait to test whether our blog is hosting a new one as we wish, we can use a trick to accelerate domain resolves:

• Open website http://www.opendns.com/support/cache/
• Fill in the domain you want is checked, then click "check this domain." If the IP address that appears is not in accordance with the new hosting IP address, click "refresh the cache." Repeat this step until the IP addresses according to a new hosting IP address. Usually only takes about 5 minutes.
• After that, replace the temporary DNS server address on our computer with its DNS OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220).
• To ensure that our domain has led to a new hosting, click start> run> cmd. Type "ping nama_domain_kita" then enter. If the IP address that appears is in conformity with the new IP address hosting means we are ready to do the next step. If not, try to type in "ipconfig / flushdns" and then enter.

That way, we do not have to wait for hours until the domain resolves we finished and we can test our first wordpress installation on a new hosting new hosting before we really ready to appear in the virtual world .. hehehe ...

Based on experience babeh , the move is quite simple to implement switching hosting. If it does not fit with the scenario, we can perform troubleshooting as follows:

• Rename or delete the file wp-config.php. Do not forget to note the database name, username and password.
• Go to our blog in your browser, follow these steps to install wordpress. The contents of the database name, username and password in accordance with the data base we used above. Continue until wordpress installation process is completed.

Good luck ..
