Posted - 10/09/2017 : 04:10:28 Hi, For various reasons, I am having to move one of my sites to a different server, within the same hosting company. Before I embark on it (and potentially cause myself a whole heap of problems), I thought I would just check my strategy. I think I should simply be able to copy my files over to the new server - the domain name and the path to MySQL will remain the same. Am I being naive? Is it that simple? cheers Mike

Posted - 10/09/2017 : 04:45:15 Hi Andy Our databases are hosted on a completely separate server, which will not change - it will simply be a new web server (and therefore IP address) for the domain. That being the case, I assume I am right in thinking I can just copy over ...? cheers Mike
