To create the database backup, you have three options .

1. Use the cpanel backup option.  This is usually the easiest., however the file will be in .sql.gz format.   If using this option, you will need to first unzip the file using a program such as winrar, then to open the file, unless you have another program already setup to open it, you would use wordpad.

2. Alternative way:

a. login to cpanel
b. click on mysql databases
c. scroll down and click on phpmyadmin
d. If you have more then 1 database, on the left hand side choose the database you want to download.  Do NOT click on any tables for the individual database
e. on the right hand side, click on “export” and make sure that all your tables listed are highlighted.
f. Make sure “save as file” is selected
g. click on “go”

This will allow you to download your database into a .sql file.

3. Another alternative:

Use the same steps as above except on step 6 do NOT “save as file”.  This will display your complete database within the browser window, and you can then do a “copy/paste” into a wordpad file.  If using this method, if saving the information to your local system, save the file as a .sql in case you ever need to import it to phpmyadmin.

WARNING:

If your Database is excessively large, and you may experience issues with either method above if you have any instability with your connection between your location and the server.

If you continue to experience issues, contact your support, advise you are having issues, and ask if a technician can create a backup and save it to your file structure so that it can be downloaded via browser.

They will usually need the following information:

1. Last four of card on record, account username, account password (this is for ownership verification)
2. Database name, database username, database password
3, Location where you would like the database backup moved to, must be inside public_html to allow for download via browser.
4. Url of this forum, so that they can see the history of this issue

SimpleScripts.com, a script installation service provider is offering 1 Click script installation services.

It is a “one click” auto-installer for many of the most popular free scripts on the internet. Some examples are Wordpress, PHP BB 3, Drupal, Joomla, and many more.

The service originally launched on Bluehost and Hostmonster but have extended to other webhost services too. SimpleScripts itself is a hosted application so web hosting companies can license it and integrate into their own control panels for the benefit of their users. It isn’t even tied to Cpanel only. It will work with VPS and dedicated servers, as well as other control panels such as Plesk.

Fantastico too offer similar service but it can’t do properly most of the time.

Stay Informed

SimpleScripts offers upgrade notifications via email. When a script you have installed has a new version available, SimpleScripts will send you a reminder email to help you keep your website secure and up to date.

Simple Flexibility

Install several folders deep, or on a sub-domain of your hosting account. Do you have a plugin that does not work with the latest version of your software? You can install an earlier version or even try out the latest beta release. If your site has any problems with a recent upgrade, you can also restore your website to pre-upgrade conditions with the click of a button! Now that’s Simple.
