I have a backup of my database that I need to import/transfer to my new account.
 

To do this you will need the file in .sql format, meaning it can not be compressed in a .zip or .tar.gz file.

1) Once you have your sql file you will need to log into your CPanel

2) In the CPanel you will find an Icon labeled MySQL Databases.

3) At the bottom of the screen in MySQL Databases you will see an option for PhpMyAdmin, click on this

4) Once in PhpMyAdmin you will see on the left side a drop down of your databases, select the database you would like to import to.

5) This will create some tabs at the top of the screen, click on SQL.

6) After clicking on SQL you will see a Text Box area and a file upload option.

7) Click browse on the file upload option and find your .sql file

8) After you have selected the file click GO and it will import your database.

If there are errors feel free to contact support.
