Setting up wordpress on a hosting server for the first time

If you’re just changing servers it’s easiest just to move the entire installation over and clone the database (manually from db admin), then update wp-config.php to point to the correct database. If the domain name is changing you’ll need to update all the domain name values in the database also. I find this script is the best way to do it – just make sure you keep a backup of the original. If it’s for multisite I think you’ll also need to update a setting in wp-config.php which contains domain name, have a look in that file to confirm…
