This section of the forum is for suggestions , think u posted in wrong place

but to answer your question step by step

1. create a database on x10 for your site using cpanel tool "MySQL Databases" don't forget to make a user for that database to using same tool if possible use same username and pw for the database as u got on your local system saves a little work

2. open xammp built in phpMyMdmin click the database your website using then export it , save on desktop or anywhere where u find it

3. open phpMyAdmin on x10 cpanel and import the database file u created in step 2

4. upload all your website files (probably in C:\xampp\htdocs\) using example FileZilla to the folder called public_html on x10,
don't forget to update database and user information in configuration.php located in your joomla directory to be correct to the database u just made,
highly recommend Notepad++ excellent tool

5 now site should work but u need to log in back end of joomla and change the path to temp folder ect to be correct in global config, u also need to set directory Permissions, temp and cache folder in joomla should have 777 directory Permissions u can change using FileZilla or cpanel FileManager,
back end on joomla system information -> Directory Permissions u can see if the cms can write to needed folders or not

hope the info helps u, if u need more detailed info or help please post in support section http://x10hosting.com/forums/free-hosting/

Oh thanks.I am using it now.
But akeebabackup takes lot of resources.High resource usage extensions might still hurt if its not optimized for the free hosting.
Do you have any other backup software?

 

[do.marmor46]

there is several but akeba is whiteout competition the best and allays up to date the .High resource usage is why i prefer to do tings manual x10 own tools for backup is easy to use

recommend u try akeba admin tools it will allow u to set and customize all folder and files permissions correct with the click of a button and that don't take any resource good tool to have have some other security tolls in it to

Make sure a firewall isn't blocking port 2083 or HTTPS traffic, since that is required in order to use cPanel.
