How to migrate data in case of web hosting change

  1. I tried to find a tool to extract data in order to move web hosting company.
    I recall a plugin to export and to import during v. 0.9. But no plugin for the v. 1.0?

    I'll be appreciated if you share any information or help to transfer data.

  2. I forgot to tell you that the present hosting company blocked using phpmyadmin under the pretext of heavy security, and there's no kind of cpanel.

    Database using is only through the terminal, but I am a real dummy for code.

  3. If "through the terminal" means shell access then you can do mysqldump

    mysqldump --opt -h 127.0.0.1 -u database_username -pdatabase_password database_name | gzip -1 -c > gzip_filename.gz
  4. It's an honor _ck_, you reply to me. Thank you.

    When I get the file, what should I do next: which program and which way I might be able to transfer data to a new hosting company.

    Sorry, but I'm a real novice.

  5. I use the techniques described at the WordPress site and apply them to bbPress:

  6. @citizenkeith, _ck_

    Thank you, I'll try your suggestions.
    The site transfer is in process.

    @citizenkeith, You probably like Björk, so do I.
