In reply to: Hosting Connection>would it be recommended to use Godaddy’s hosting connection?
No, I wouldn’t. There are a lot of affordable and valuable hosting plans than GoDaddy offers. For $4.29, you can get 5 times more disk space and monthly bandwidth in other places than GoDaddy offers.

In reply to: WordPress Exploit: script inserted into codeI would create a new administrative username for WP deleting all others. If they know your administrative username, they can just run a program to guess the password just like guessing a PIN number.

In reply to: Help! Someone (?) changed my admin password>I still don’t know how someone got into the admin in the first place
If your admin username is really ‘admin,’ then it won’t be difficult for them to guess the password, I suppose.

In reply to: Help! Someone (?) changed my admin password>Try to change the admin password (and user name) using the control panel of your host (find the wp_users table)
I suppose he meant through phpAdmin. You could, but you have to know how to decode the password that you enter. For example, if your password is hello35, what you see on a database is a combination of 32 characters and numbers, I suppose. I’m sure WP developers know better.

In reply to: Need help moving WordPress to another server>How do I download my database?
Use a database backup plugin. Also, I would suggest that you make a database backup through phpAdmin.

In reply to: adding a wp backup to a sql databaseYou can import a backup .sql file through phpAdmin for sure after creating a database. “Or does any of this matter?” I don’t know. I would wait for your hosting company support rep to get back to you.

In reply to: PLEASE tell me my entire site didnt just get destroyed…>I suppose this backup.sql file im seeing is useless?
When you back up a WP database with a plugin or through phpAdmin, the file name is likely to start with a database name. I don’t know all the backup plugins, but I’m afraid it’s not for your WP.
Consider that WP files are replaceable parts. The database is the brain. Or suppose that you trash a software application and then reinstall it. Sometimes, setup files still remain in the system. And you can get the same application settings back. That’s just a simple analogy. By the way, your host is ThePlanet.com or Hostgator?
Good luck

In reply to: PLEASE tell me my entire site didnt just get destroyed…Richar900, files are replaceable. WP files won’t be updated every time you post an article or somebody drops a comment unless you go to the theme editor and make some changes. What matters is the database where you have all data. Every time I update WP, I use a data backup plugin to back up data. Then I also use phpAdmin to back up data. Upgrading PHP software is not a simple task. So I only do it very often, maybe once a year. It’s not about WP. Whatever you use, if it involves a database, you need to back it up before upgrading software.
If you believe the database is gone, you need to talk to support desk at your hosting company to see if they can recover your data from a backup tape or something.
