To move your AbanteCart website to another web hosting, you can follow these steps:
Purchase a new hosting plan that meets the requirements of AbanteCart. You can compare different hosting providers and plans on this website.
Export your website’s backup files from your current hosting account. You can use the backup tool in the AbanteCart admin panel to create a backup of your database, code, and resource library. You can also use FTP or cPanel to download your files manually.
Import your backup files to your new hosting account. You can use FTP or cPanel to upload your files to the public_html folder of your new host. You can also use the import tool in the AbanteCart admin panel to restore your backup.
Change the URL of your website in the AbanteCart configuration file. You can edit the system/config.php file and replace the old URL with the new one. You can also use the AbanteCart admin panel to change the URL settings.
Point your domain name to the new server. You can do this by changing the nameservers or the DNS records of your domain name. You can contact your domain registrar or your new hosting provider for assistance.
Test and review your website before it goes live. You can use a temporary URL or a hosts file to preview your website on the new server. You can also check for any errors or broken links and fix them accordingly.
