How to Backup a Database
As part of our weekly or monthly Security and System Maintenance routine to keep our own websites and/or blogs up and running, we should clean out the overheads and backup the database or databases in our cpanel.
We do the same for our Customers at
Web Design Consulting who trust they can relax while the Support & Maintenance Team ensure the Top Performance of their websites and blogs.
How to Clean Overheads in a Database
Due to a number of regular requests coming in, let me show you the quick and easy steps as to How to Clean Overheads in a Database – before you back it up:
1.
Log into your cpanel
2.
Go to “Databases” and here click on “phpMyDatabase”.
3.
On the new window that opens, to the left, you see all your databases in a vertical dropdown, in alphabetical order.
Now simply tick the first of these databases, and, on the table that now opens to the right, you see the “Overheads” to the far right and added up at the bottom of that column. This is the accumulated waste you want to get rid of by optimizing the table. It will clean your blog and make it faster.
What you now do is to tick “Check tables having overhead” (it’s in blue under “sum”) and as a result you will see the corresponding tables getting ticked, so you see exactly where your overheads basically came from.
As a next step you tock the little drop down to the right of “Check tables having overhead” saying “With Selected” and here you select “Optimize Table”.
Now let it do its job! Just wait a moment…
How to Backup a Database
Once it’s done, let’s continue exactly where we are… and I show you How to Backup a Database:
4.
At the top, click on EXPORT.
Don’t touch or change anything here… what you do is…
5.
At the bottom, tick “gzipped” and then on “GO” to the far right.
6.
If you get a popup… select “Save File” and “OK”.
Now this database backup will download to your computer, to a designated folder or your “Downloads”. If you are on Firefox, you will see a note “One active download” to the bottom right of your screen. Call it up and let it do its job.
We tend not to pay too much attention to backups as there’s always sooo much to do… I know!
However, may this little Tutorial help you to rather be safe than sorry.
And besides, if you don’t want to bother with this, remember that you can have backups automatically done for you on our
Best Web Hosting Services for just $6 a year – perhaps a smart thing to do; think about it!

Best WordPress Business Themes
To implement the WP Best Project we will start by setting up our site based on some important choices.
1. Hosting WordPress
While many hosts allow for easy WP set-up using Fantastico from cPanel, the hosting packs vary and do not always provide the needed quality for a feature rich WP based website.
Thinking ahead and considering the increased use of Media in connection with WP sites, we have built a hosting pack with unlimited space and bandwidth at the lowest rate ($35 per year) in collaboration with Hosting South Africa and ChiHosters.
For special needs, power-blogs and large sites needing increased Memory (64 MB or 128 MB) we are using specially set up servers with tariffs up to $34.95 per month including maintenance.
For the purpose of the WP Best Project, a $35 solution is perfect.
2. Domain
To personalize our business we use either a Business Brand or our personal Name. In the cae of the WP Best Project, I will use my existing name domain and add a sub-domain called wpbest.yorgonestoridis.com. Another idea was to call it consultant, wpconsiltant or similar.
You can now find the site HERE.
3. Best WordPress Business Themes
For years Semiomantics has built the best WP Business Themes by developing frameworks and scripts based on the work of the greatest designers and code developers out there. By associating the best web designs with the best scripts and by recoding, tuning and optimizing the frameworks, Semiomantics websites have the most extraordinary Google Top 10 performance. Semiomantics Websites are not for everybody as they come in limited editions only.
For the Purpose of the WP Best Project I have selected the latest WP Business Theme by Semiomantics.
The theme allows to present Featured work and Services on the compelling home page and to personalize it with just a few mouse clicks by filling in the blanks from the admin dashboard.
Look out for the next post, where I will show you how to make the best use of the site Theme by adding content and using the built in features.
