Exporting a Database at Another Host

If your host uses cPanel, the steps to access phpMyAdmin should be similar to the above steps for Web Hosting Hub. If your host does not use cPanel or you do not see  phpMyAdmin in your account control panel, you will want to contact your hosting provider to ask them how to access phpMyAdmin. Once you have accessed phpMyAdmin, please follow steps 3-7 above to export a copy of your database.
