I have a modified nop site based on nop 3.60.
I want to move it to a managed shared hosting setup that has SQL Server and .Net.
Would it work like this:

(1) Use web based installer for clean nop 3.60 install.
(2) Copy over all files from old machine to new.
(3) Backup database on old machine and restore on new.
(4) Done?

Did I leave anything out?

Thanks!
*Oh and forgive me resposting this issue. I couldn't see where to edit my last post and I have new info now.

"(1) Use web based installer for clean nop 3.60 install."==> What do you mean by this line? You want to to move a live site/ old site(existing site), right?

Note: Must buck up all files and folder (All things).

Thanks for your question.
What I mean by (1) is based on the assumption that I can't just copy all files over and it just works.
Because I assume some DLLs need to be registered on the new server.
True?

If you remove Settings.txt file and install the nop again then you will lose everything


So Please Note: Please backup all things. if you back up and then do any mistake it will not harmful for you.

Moved all my nopCommerce sites to the new host.
I have backups for every site at least once a month.
I get the sites over to the new host and I am looking at the folder structure and realize in the root of each site there is no index.html or index.chtml or other default document.
There is webconfig and global.aspx.
Is this normal?
I looked in my backups and none of them have a default file, either.
The new host, who says they know nopCommerce, is telling me the start document is missing.
And the sites won't run.
Help?
Oh and yes, in the App_Data folder I have moved the settings.txt file over.
Is this a case of needing to run an install and then copy my files over?
Thanks!
