Switching Hosts?

[Cukrow]

So, my domain is currently hosted on 000webhost. I hate the host.

My friend recommended x10. I have used it before, and liked it, so I made an account for my domain here.
But. I have some questions.

After I change the free sub domain to my domain, and the nameservers to x10's, will all my files, etc. Be in the file manager and in place? Do I have to make a backup before a switch? Do i have to save EVERYTHING to my computer?
Where can I find x10's nameservers?



Basically... if you explained it to me, I would love you. :biggrin:

You would need to download all your files from your old host. Then once your account here is created you will need to upload them all here (Into your public_html folder).

The x10 nameserver's are:
ns1.x10hosting.com
ns2.x10hosting.com

Okay, thanks. But.. but how would I get a backup of all my phpmyadmin files?

Erm. Bump.

If you're switching hosts you'll need to download all the files to your computer. If they're using cPanel there should be a "Backup" option in cPanel that allows you to create a full back which you can then restore here.

To backup your databases login to PHPMyAdmin and use the Export feature.
