How to backup my QnA website?

Question

Hey,

Question2answers Community...

I want to change my Hosting. Can anyone tell me how to backup my all data and upload another hosting safely.

Answer 1

Hi Alok Kumar,

It's possible and a simple matter.

1st step:

Just download your files on your computer and upload it to your new server.

2nd step:

Export and download your sql database by PhpMyAdmin. Then upload to your new hosting servers database.

3rd step:

Connect with your new database by editing config.php file on your new server.

That's it.

If you need any help, then you can knock me. I'll try my best to help you.

Thank you.

Just a minor addition: if you're running database and webserver on the same host (which is probably the most common scenario), and use the same database name and credentials, you don't even need to update config.php, so you can omit the 3rd step in that scenario.
