Moving MySQL databases to Blue1 Hosting

Log into SSH on your old server or PhpMyadmin via your hosting control panel:

mysqldump -u username -p database_name > dumpfile.sql

That will prompt you for your password and export the database into a text file that you can use to recreate the database on your new server as follows:

mysql -u username -p database_name < dumpfile.sql

*Note: The username is your mysql username, not your web account username.
