Guest kgsmith Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I recently switched host companies, and was told that I need to move my site over as well as the domain. How do I do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markscarts Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 1. Purchase new webspace 2. Install CubeCart on new space 3. Take a backup of old database (SQL dump) read the pinned post about backing up db 4. Populate the new shop database with your backup 5. Copy the images folder from your old site to the images folder of new site 6. If you have customized a skin, copy the skin folder from old site to new site These are the main steps, information on how to do each one of those steps can be found in the forums. You will also need to find out the nameservers for the new webspace and change the nameservers for your domain names. Domain names are a separate subject from CubeCart, so you won't find info about that here. If you got your domain name through your present webhost, and the new server is with a different webhost, and you know nothing at all about domain names, well, you need to find a host for your domain name, it could be your new webhost or (preferrably I think) a third party. You can also find service providers you can hire for all this if you desire. Look for them at http://cubecart.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
