Moving your site to a new host - How? · **Released**: 03-13-2007

How is the process of moving your site to a new host done? I've read it can be done if both hosts use cpanel. Is this a simple process, or is there work to be done after the site is moved? Are the image urls updated automatically? How much manual editing will I have to do? Are there webhosts who will do it all for you or is there still a lot of work to be done after it's moved?

i have following problem when moving from one host to another:

I backup database from old host. Using PhpMyAdmin. Database encoding is CP1251.
After install VB on a new host, move files to new host (such templates, mods etc). Than i try to restore database. Restored all data but .... all Cyrillic symbols become "question mark" (screenshot attached).

I try many times to restore database with different ways and also try to change encoding to utf-8. Nothing hepls.

Have any idea?

All those question marks seem to be like its a different language type.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
