If I’m keeping the same domain name, it’s as simple as picking up the DB and files, dropping them on the new server, and updating the wp-config.php to point to the new database.
If I’m not keeping the domain, then you export it, edit domainold.com to domainnew.com, and carry on as normal.
but it wont work in any way even thoug the same domain is pointed at the new server.
You’ll have to tell us exactly how it won;t work if you want help fixing it. 😉
like Ipstenu said – you move it the same as a single site. If you were using subdomains, you need to have that setup on the new server as well, and you have to make sure the htaccess file gets moved over too.
That’s pretty much it.

Hi! Since my homeserver dont have just one IP-adress i use dyndns.com to access my server – when everything is moved and the domain is pointed to dyndns nameservers and i try to access mu domain i goes to register new blog and my webbrowser (chrome and firefox) says that the webpage that i’m trying to acces contains unallowed redirections.
Hope that you understands what i mean! :))
Does dyndns give you ONE domain … name to point to? If so, you should be able to search/replace the IP with the domain name.

No, theirs servers automatically gets updated by the server with my home IP, and the IP-adress that my domain connects too will change. My home IP right now is; 213.112.224.27
But how am i supposed to make it work like “a charm”? I’ve also been given an adress (iwese.dyndns-ip.com) that will work like the static IP..
And then another question, how do i configure the server to allow *.mydomain.com registration? I need to do that so my blognetwork will work 🙂
Rewind.
Do you have a domain name than you can use, no matter what, that will ALWAYS point to your site, no matter the IP?

Exactly! iwese.dyndns-ip.com will always point to my server, no matter what.
Sorry for writing as good as i probably should, but my english is’nt that good..yet :p
Okay. Then iwese.dyndns-ip.com is yuor DOMAIN name. Search for the IP in your database, replace with iwese.dyndns-ip.com
You will not be able to use *.mydomain.com (or even mydomain.com) unless you can point that to iwese.dyndns-ip.com somehow. Which is a questino for dyndns.

okay i understand!
DynDns support FAQ describes that i’m supposed to point the domain to their nameservers and then it would work because it’s automatically pointed to my IP-adress but obvisously it doesn’t. I’ve even got it to work as the domainname, but the problem starts when i try to access the domain i want to use.
When i go to mydomain.com it automatically goes to “http://bloggat.me/wp-signup.php?new=iwese.dyndns-ip.com” and the page is blank or i get the message “Too many redirections” or “Unallowed redirection”. Is their something wrong with the configuration in the server, database, domain setup? Iv’e searched throug the wp_options table in the database for iwese.dyndns…… and i got no hit. The wp_config file have the mydomain.com inserted. Is it something more that i should do or check?
Ugh. Okay. So you DO have a domain name that will always point to your install, no matter the IP. That’s domain.com or whatever you made.
Heres what I THINK you have
Domain.com points to the dyndns setup
Dyndns points to your IP address
WordPress is installed at your IP
If that is correct, then domain.com is your site. Point right to that. If NOT, you need to sort out how to make domain,com point to your install.

Yes! Excuse me if been uncelar about that. The domain that always will point to my install is: http://iwese.dyndns-ip.com/bloggat
Mydomain.com is the domain that i want to use instead of http://iwese.dyndns-ip.com/bloggat, but when i set up everything as it should be etc.. i will always end up with beeing redirected to the page “register new blog” /wp-register.php. That’s the problem that i have today, except that everything is working fine.
Hope you understand how i mean 🙂
I don’t understand what you’re saying, but with the ACTUAL URLs to look at, I think I understand what’s going on.
If I go to http://iwese.dyndns-ip.com/bloggat it redirects me to http://bloggat.me/wp-signup.php?new=iwese.dyndns-ip.com
This means you domain is http://bloggat.me
The rest of all that, the DNS stuff, DOES NOT MATTER TO WORDPRESS!
Stop.
http://bloggat.me/ is your domain. And it looks like it’s working just fine.
If you need wildcard subdomains, you can try setting it up on http://bloggat.me/ but you may need to work directly with SynDNS to sort out everything. This is NOT a WordPress thing, it’s how your’e set up.
