Now for the files:

Download and Upload

1. Use an FTP client to download your entire WordPress directory from your old hosting company’s server to a location on your local desktop. Note: This folder should have 20 (or more) files in it and at least 4 subdirectories: images, wp-admin, wp-content, and wp-includes. You will need all of these files and folders.


2. Again using FTP, upload these files to your new HostPapa account. Make sure you upload to the public_html folder.

Here’s some video tutorial help on using FTP:

Open the wp-config.php file that was uploaded to your HostPapa public_html folder and change the information that points to and grants access to your database: 'DB_NAME', 'DB_USER', 'DB_PASSWORD', and 'DB_HOST'.
