Migrating from localhost to hosting server

[elusenji]

Hi there. Am a prestashop newbie. I would like to know if there is a tool that will enable me backup my site (files and database) and deploy it to a hosting server. (Examples: Akeeba backup for Joomla or BackupWP for wordpress).
Thanks.

As for me, easiest way is transfer your files via FTP, make normal install and configure your shop

It seems to me that nonody can manage the migation problems.
As long nobody does not produced entirely one part/module/tool or something, it is normal that nobody
knows why it is working and, of course whay is not working one operation.
I was searching all the posts on migration and nobody knows how to manage the problem
The best solution they gave is
- to copy with FTP all the shop directory to the new server
- to backup and the database
- to install the presta shop {over the copied files!!!!}
- to import the database [not specified where and how]
So, my opinion is that if that product have had a regular price, somebody would have coverded and the migration
problem.
So far we have an excelent product that is working as long you do not change the server or webhosting.
If you are "lucky" and after one year have 1.000 customers and 10.000 products in 7.000 categories, you are dead and
burried.
The same thing if you have only your own logo and two products in one category and 3 customers.
