If you\u2019re looking to move your WordPress website from another web hosting provider to LCN.com. You\u2019ll need to get a copy of your web and database files from your current hosting provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving WordPress to LCN.com web hosting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Add your domain to your LCN.com web hosting.<\/li>
  2. Create a new MYSQL database in your LCN.com account<\/a>. If you\u2019re unsure how to do this, we\u2019ve got a handy guide here<\/a><\/li>
  3. Once this is setup you\u2019ll need to import the copy of your WordPress database via PHPMyAdmin.

    1. Now your database is ready to go, you\u2019ll need to upload your WordPress files to the web<\/strong> folder on your LCN.com web hosting. This will need to be done using an FTP client such as \u201cFilezilla\u201d.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
