Moving hostingformula.info : from ssh enabled host to cpanel enabled host

My friend challenge me to move hostingformula.info to another host that not support ssh in shortest time.

I’m agree and do that in less than 30 minutes.

How?

Domain preparation :

1. Change dns to new host

Login to old host using ssh :

1. backup db and save sql file in wp-content folder
# cat wp-config.php
# myqldump -uwinhowsn_hosting -p winhowsn_hosting > hosting.sql
# mv hosting.sql wp-content/

2. Compress folder
# tar cvzf wp-content.tar.gz wp-content

3. download to my computer using ftp client or just download it from browser using this address :

http://www.hostingformula.net/wp-content.tar.gz

Login to new host using cpanel :

1. Download latest wordpress file and save to my pc

2. Upload to main root and extract the file to public_html folder

3. Create database from cpanel menu

4. Install blog using famous ‘5 minutes’ installation of wordpress.

5. Rename wp-content to wp-content_old

6. Impor sql from downloaded file after drop all existing tables.

7. Pack wp-content.tar.gz to wp-content.zip minus sql file.

8. Upload wp-content.zip using file manager

9. unzip wp-content.zip

Done.

All things clear 🙂

Fortunately my dns propagation work effective for me in less than 4 hour. Of course dns propagation is another work.
