Hi! This worked pretty well for me as well… I do have onw problem. When I upload images, they still upload to the old domain instead of the new one. Any other queries I should be running?

The best tut yet, thanks for urilising the cpanel funtions in file manager. One point to add: the easiest way to handle the datbase (if you’re simply moving servers and keeping the domain) is to use the cPanal backup wizzard. You can backup any database here and have it downloaded as a gzip.

In the new server cpanel, you should now create a database with the exact same name as the one you had on the old server.

Now do a restore database routine in the new cpanel and upload the saved database from your old site. IF it’s the same name, cPanal will recognise it and upload it, overwriting the empty database you just created.

The advantage of this method is that using cPanal restore routine avoids any timeouts for large database imports that can happen in phpmyadmin.

Done this a few times and it’s been flawless. Also much easier for the novice who might feel unsure of PhpMyadmin
