Hi

I have a blog hosted at a X Hosting, I want to change the hosting. What steps do I have to follow to don't break the database?
It happened to me once.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

That depends. What blog software do you use?

The most important thing you should do, which sometimes people don't do, is make sure you have a backup of the original copy. Its so easy to mess up the database.

Sometimes the most that is needed is to change the domain the blog is located at, especially if you use the same database user information and password, and the relative place from the public directory that is it located at.

I put it in the title I'm using wordpress. Thanks for our answer. I read somewhere else, that I have to deactivate all the plug-ins first.

Yes, that is probably wise. Read here for instructions.
