I transferred my website to a new hosting company. How can I transfer the mysql database?

I transferred the hosting of my website from a company called Velnet because they refuse to answer any messages or emails.


When I tried to upload the site to the new hosts I got an error message that my new hosts (fasthosts) informed me I needed to get the mysql database from my old hosts. Velnet will not answer any corresspondance or agree to take the hosting back so my website is completely useless.


Who owns the mysql database and how can I force my old hosts to cooperate with me ?

You own the MySQL database however it's stuc on the old server - It's probably been deleted by now.





You should of checked out the documentation at MySQL.org - They can tell you about these things.





Also you should of looked in the control panel at your old host - many will have back-up utility which will let you download everything including the databases.





Sounds like it's probably too late now - Sorry
