True. That’s a more difficult move.

This only works from switching blogs of the same domain among different host providers. I went one step further and not only moved blogs, but renamed them from individual domains to subdomains on a totally new domain. The major issues are that everything exported keeps all the same data of the original blog (image uploads, cross linking in your archives, etc). Keeping that in mind, if doing this step .. seeing what I did might help.

I found this host itshosted.com & they moved my wordpress site for me. Their tech support took care of everything for me. They have one plan for $5.95 ther was no setup fee & it is month to month. You get to host 2 domains per account with several other blog programs pre-setup. So now I can try out some of the other blogs easy.

Hi Matthew. It worked very well for me. The only thing I found that it didn’t transfer was the custom excerpts, but that can be re-done if you even use that feature. Much easier than actually dealing with a database manually, in my opinion.

It never seems to go exactly how you plan it and when it goes wrong, moving a dynamic web site to a new host can be extremely frustrating. Thanks for the step by step. I’m sure this will come in handy.
