Revamping our website

[Mattie]

I've manged to change hosting comany, just waiting for it to be activated gone with www.1and1.co.uk

Hopefully i can transfer website over without having to build it again, i know how to do FTP, but when it comes to the MYSQL database i'm lost haha

most good hosting companies will do it all for you

Transferring MySQL data is simple enough so long as you have access to it (such as with phpMyAdmin).

Most cheap hosts won't do anything to help because they're just providing you with the space. It's up to you what you do with it.

I'll have to do that, just downloaded phpMyadmin and not got a clue what to do with it or how to install it, it looks confusing there's lots of files haha

You shouldn't need to "download" phpMyAdmin. If your hosting package is set up right, you should be able to login to it through your control panel. Then the Export option is there, which you use to download a text file of your MySQL tables. You then go to your new host, login to the phpMyAdmin that's provided there, and upload the text file. Simple.

As for Prestashop? I don't use that one but, with ZenCart, it's just a matter of changing the config files, IIRC.
