0 -Cookie- Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hi kelcy95, Open up your cPanel and find Backups, , click it and inside Backups you will see this , well click on the Buttom Home Directory and wait for it to download, then click on Download a MySQL Database Backup download link once both are downloaded, go in to your new cPanel and go back in to the same Backups, now this time instead of clicking Home Directory button, click the Restore a Home Directory Backup Choose File Button and upload your Home Directory, then do the exact same for your SQL as well, once both have uploaded go to MySQL® Databases and you will see your SQL uploaded , now all you need to do is create a user, once created a user, go in to your FTP open up your conf_global.php and edit these to what it says in your MySQL® Databases 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Phun Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 If both hosts use cPanel, you can contact them directly and ask for a backup. Ask the new host for a restore of that backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have done creating your Backup the .zip folder should be in your home directory > go to File Manager , and then Home directory it should be in there.
