 * Hi,
 * I have been building a new WordPress site for a family member. The site is complete
   but the trouble is that the server is very slow so I need to move the site to
   another server in the near future.
 * My problem is she is using a dedicated server which she shares with her husband
   and when I went into phpMyAdmin to find out the name of the database I found 
   out that between them they have about 30 databases on the server. They don’t 
   have identifying names so I assume they were just autocreated with each WordPress
   install. Is there any way to identify which one I need to back up and move with
   the rest of the site?
 * Regards Margaret

 * Try looking in the WordPress wp-config.php file.
