Ok, I want to move a site from one hosting provider to the next. How can I transfer it without changing the DNS nameservers?

Hi there! As specified in our FAQ here http://www.joomlaplu...../catid,26/ on the manual move question, here is what you need to do:

- copy the backup and the restore script(all 3 php files from inside directory restore/ from the archive you downloaded from our site) in the new location
- access Joomla.Cloner.php from your new location, make sure to replace the restore url with the old one(else you will have to adjust that in configuration.php after the dns change) in the "Install url:" input field
- after you configurated the restore screen, you should be able to start the restore process

Let me know if you have further questions! Regards, Ovidiu
