Valuable time and energy will be lost unless you properly make your own backup just in case.

Normally backing up data is one of the things that most of us neglect to do.  It’s just not something we think of until it’s too late.  Since we have a problem backing up, it’s best to use systems that automatically backup your data.

There is a free WordPress plugin called WP-DB-Backup.  Doing a search inside the WordPress installation or on Google will bring up this plugin.  Once you have downloaded it, installed it, and activated it, it’s ready to do it’s magic.

Go to Tools then Backup.  When you get to this screen you see a series of check boxes.  These are the parts of the database to backup or not.  If you aren’t sure what you need and what you don’t, just check all of the options to make sure you have everything.

Under backup options, do the email backup option.  This will send your backup to an email box.  Under the scheduled backup option, select daily if you update your blog regularly.  Then click Schedule Backup.

What this will do is email you your WordPress database on a daily basis.  It’s smart to use an email account that is not associated with that host since if the host loses data, it will also lose the backup.

Be sure that you have a manual copy of your theme because this is not backed up as well since this is not part of the database.

Whatever you do it’s important that you have this backup since there are many issues that come up where you will need this database to put your blog back in order.

Unfortunately, that is not true online. The saying “build it and they will come” does not hold true in the online world.

One of the ways to get targeted traffic is to position your website high in the search engines for the keyword you are targeting. It is called SEO or search engine optimization.

Although there are many SEO companies that can help you do this, it would be best to learn how to do it yourself first. Most people tend to make SEO more complicated than it really is and they are many SEO myths and legends around if you browse some of the more popular SEO forums.

The first step in SEO is to determine the base keyword of your website and then get a SEO keyword tool. There are many such tools available online. Some are desktop tools while others are online services. Most require a payment or monthly subscription fee however, there are a few good SEO keyword tools that are free.

One such tool is the Google keyword tool. This tool is provided for adwords advertisers but it can still be used for SEO purposes. Simply enter the keyword and google will show you the monthly search volume as well as the related keyword phrases.

You can also see the cost per price for that keyword as well as google trends for their keyword. You can use this tool to give you ideas for hundred of other keyword phrases that people are searching for which are related to your website.

The only disadvantage of the Google keyword tool is that it does not tell you how competitive that keyword is.

Another SEO keyword tool that does that is wordtracker. Wordtracker is quite a popular keyword search tool that has over 40 million keywords in its database. It is similar to Google keyword tool except it does tell you know how competitive a keyword is, however their keyword database does not come from google but from meta search engines such as metacrawler.

While they are some arguments about the accuracy of their database since almost no one today uses meta search engines, it is in my opinion still a good point of reference.

I do not know why you will you do this, maybe you choose bad host services (oftenly down) or you have short off your space or bandwith. No more way to fix it except move your web into another host. What ever is your problem is, i will show you how to move your wordpress blog into new host. In this case, i want to transfer my Precast Concrete Technology web into new host.

There are two major way you can get through this,FIRST you can export via xml files, and the SECOND were via Database.

In this tutorial, i will concern with Database way, because it much easier for me. To migrate our wordpress blog with database implant all you need is Backup your database first. Then deploy it into new location. But do not forget to backup the files also!

Step-by-Step to move our wordpress via database :

Login into your OLD directory of blogs, and download your wp-config.php file

Open those wp-config.php file, and find your database name. It will displayed below this sentences /** MySQL database username */. It will looks like define(’DB_USER’, ‘***_wrdp**’); . The “**” sign will be differ every blogs.

Next step is Login into your OLD CPANEL site, and choose PhpMyAdmin to backup your database. Select the proper database name (info from wp-config.php), then click export button on the top sidebar. Click the “save as file” option, then fill database name. Next, click GO button. And save it into your hardisk.

The next step is backup your files inside your directory, just come inside wp-content folder, then backup Plugins, theme, and Upload Folder. You can compress this folder first, than download it (to make the file smaller and easy to download). Use this backup process via File Manager Inside your Cpanel.

After all of “backing up stuffs” done, you should change your Domain DNS (Name Server) with new DNS of your new host. maybe this will make you wait until it resolved. It times depend on your host, it could be 3 hours until 24 hours.

After your Domain were redirected into new Host correctly, all you have to do is Login into your CPanel and Create new WordPress (install). You can Use Fantastico, or you can install manual. It’s all up to you, just remember that YOU MUST remember what Database Name for the new WordPress installation. In this parts i will not teach you how to Install WordPress, because when you read this, you must ever install wordpress, even it only once. LOL

After you succeed installing new wordpress, just open MyPhpAdmin and select database name for the new wordpress that you’ve been installed before. Make sure that you have select the correct database name!. Then click “Check All” option and select “Drop” Menu. Then click Go button. You will have last confirmation about dropping this table, just click YES. Then all the result is all table were deleted successfully.

Next Step is importing your old database into this database. To do that step, just click Import button on the top sidebar, and choose your saved database by click “Browse”. Then click Go. Just wait the magic comes out (i mean importing succeed).

Last Step to do, were uploading your file backup (plugins, themes, and upload folder). You can using FTP software or using File Manager through CPanel. If you follow my instruction before, you should upload your ZIP backup into “wp-content” folder, than extract it.

All step has DONE. Your site will works fine, but first time you login into your wordpress, maybe there will be one message shown from wordpress to confirm Database Upgrade. Don’t worry, it’s natural!. Just click the Upgrade button. And all your efforts will be finish.

Some time, you should need to re check your permalinks, maybe it changed (it should be not change), but please check it for make sure. You can get more wordpress theme tutorial in my site.
