I know this isn't a hack but..
 

I am changing servers, is there anyone in the US that could possibly guide me through doing this, for a fee of course, lol.
TIA

If its in the lounge it shouldn't be a hack.

You can find instructions at www.vbulletin.com

I use phpMyAdmin, your server may or may not have it installed - if not, you'll have to download it and install it manually, of course.

Anyways, if you DO have it do a complete dump of your database and save your .sql file. Once you switch servers, exract that file in phpMyAdmin. That's what I always do, and it works fine. :) I know there are ways you can do it with telnet too, but I'm not posotive how.

Umm, if you have a biog database, phpmyadmin is not alwatys the good choice, as it freezes with big submissions.

yeah phpmyadmin sucks for big DB's, I didn't have telnel or ssh on my old server so I had to back up each file individually. It worked fine but took about 2 hours total.

thanks though guys.

phpmyadmin didn't work for my 1 GB db too. Had to download and upload manually when I moved.

1GB whooa!! That sure beats my just over 5MB one :(

How do you guys have so many members and posts and such huge db's

My search table alone had almost 2 million entries and was 700 MB in size.

Well Search Entries are not really needed.
