How can I move my MSSQL database and PDshop from one web host to another?
The first step would be to get your current web host to provide you with the database, a backup ".bak" file usually.
At the new host you’d need to create a new blank database, then restore the database from the backup (you’d probably need to speak with your new host about the actual steps of restoring a database from a .bak file, each host handles it differently).
As far as physically moving the shopping cart, storefront and admin, you'd just need to copy all the files (using FTP), copying everything from the older server to the new one.
Once the database is moved (restored, etc.) and all the files copied, you then just modify the web.config file (you'll need to update the MSSQL login details for example).
