   Hi,

   I need to MOVE my WP blog to a NEW HOSTING SERVICE PROVIDER SERVICE (I asked for a DOMAIN TRANSFER that should be completed in 5-7 days).

   I read what I found about it, but still having some doubts...

   1) Following Moving WordPress, first I zipped all the directories and files and donloaded them to my PC and I should upload them to the new server, is that correct?

   2) Regarding the Backup and Restore of the Database (MySQL - 5.0.32 - Debian_7etch5, phpMyAdmin - 2.8.0.2), following WordPress Backups in the DATA SECTION I should tick the "Data", "Complete inserts" and "Use hexadecimal for binary fields" checkboxes... but following Backing Up Your Database in the DATA SECTION I should tick only the "Data" checkbox leaving the other two mentioned above ("Complete inserts" and "Use hexadecimal for binary fields") unticked... What's the difference? What's better?

   In other words, I'd like to have the exact blog with the same domain perfectly working on a new server host service provider...

   Did I forget anything?

   Thank you very much.

   Best Regards,
   Matteo

   According to http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/

   "Complete inserts" adds the column names on every INSERT command, for better documentation (but resulting file is bigger).

   So it probably doesn't matter if you check or don't check Complete inserts.

   As for the "Use hexadecimal for binary fields" it probably doesn't matter what you check as WordPress doesn't use any binary fields. If you have a plugin that has that field type I would check that field.
