Hello Guyz,

so i have took whole site backup through cpanel backup wizard ...

Now i need to know how can i restore it to new server and everything remains the same ???

i know i little bit so please correct me if im wrong

1) Change Domain Nameservers for new host
2) restore whole back through backup wizard in cpanel on new host

you dont really need to change the config.php details unless u change the name of the database.

It should restore exactly as the old server unless u restore database and the file system separetly

if u need any further assistance i would be happy to do that PM me
