I've had a working site running for several years and it is currently on WinHost using 3.9. I set up a new website for a different business with the max hosting plan on SmarterASP.
I got a new site installed there for this move with 4.60.5 and now need to port the website to the new hosting server and shut down the old one. I have a week to do it. I copied all the files off the old host, but probably can't use them on the new one now. I will do a DB backup first, then run the upgrade SQL scripts, then back it up again, restore the original DB and download the upgraded one and upload it to the new host. I think the upgrade process for the DB has changed in the middle of these versions, and a new process is used. I also need my plugins to port over for USPS and BrainTree, etc.
Any thoughts on this, or a better plan?
