For Hostgator FAQ or any questions about hostgator webhosting or hostgator sales read this query posted by cntbill on 25 November 2008

Forgive me if this has been asked before, I tried search but I don’t seem to have the rights to do a search.

I have an osCommerce site that I am thinking of moving to Host Gator, I think I understand all the DNS, FTP, stuff but, it is the database move that I am worried about.

Number one I am not completely sure on how to move it, I’ll have to review the info on osc’s site I guess, but looking here to see if there was any suggestions as to the best procedure to do so.

Number two, then will I have to give the db a new name here and if so suggestions to how I can make this move as painless as possible.

In reality I would like to just start from scratch but I don’t have the luxury to dedicate the amount of time it would need, because if I remember right the first time I set up OSC it took me quite a bit of time searching the forums to find all the information I needed. Also the other thing is my site was set up for php 4 and my host changed to php 5 which is good but I didn’t know about the change until a customer sent me an email complaining about an order…. however I did manage to patch the php files to get it to work with php 5 now.

So is there any good guidelines to follow? Like I am guessing move/copy my sql over first, etc.
