For every domain name in your web hosting, there is a DNS record for it. For example, our bluehost review blog is a domain name hosting with bluehost, and we can view its DNS record from bluehost cpanel. You can get to edit the dns record component, A Record & CNAME record, and all of these are done in simple dns zone editor tool provided in your control panel. By default the setting is automatically made for you, for new bluehost account and for every domain name you added into your account, the dns zone had been create and there is no need to change the setting. However, if you are necessary to change the ip address for the dns A record, you can do it by using this tool. Before you proceed with changing the dns record, its important to fully understand the DNS, a record and CNAME. Mistake made here might cause A record being deleted and causing website failure.
For sure there is simple dns zone editor provided for you, and there is advanced dns editor provided as well. Definately we will look into this in future. Bluehost hosting is a great cpanel hosting company that hosting over 1 million domain names.
“DNS is the component of the Internet which converts human-readable domain names (such as [user's domain]) into computer-readable IP addresses (such as [user's IP]). It does this according to DNS zone files that reside on your server and tie domain names to IP addresses. There are several different types of records in a domain’s zone file. This feature allows you to create and edit A and CNAME records.“

hi.. i currently have a godaddy web hosting account.. i’m having second thoughts right now about quitting their service cuz it sucks most of the time.. im just wondering how i could transfer my database stored in my godaddy web hosting plan.. i googled it but didn’t get anything related to it.. i don’t know, maybe there’s no such thing as transfering databases to other hosting sites?
is it just a little edit from the wp config on my ftp? pls help.. i would like to transfer to bluehost soon.. but all i see in google results is domain transfer.. i don’t know how i can get my database from godaddy. or do i backup it and that’s it?
thank you for any help.. keep rocking!!

Transfering from one web host to another is simple.
You need to have the bluehost hosting account singup and ready in first place.
Once you have it, login to cpanel and install the wordpress blog via simplescript.
Next, from your old wordpress wp-admin, you can use the export feature to export the blog post. Output it to your local computer. With this backup file, you can upload it to the new bluehost hosted wordpress. Done. If you have other files that require transfer, ftp it from old host to new host. At here all your websites and database had been migrated to bluehost.
Above method is partially automated, you can always use 100% ftp method to get it done too. Off course, transfer every files from old host to the bluehost account, latest change the wp-config file, done! For the database, you can use phpmyadmin to export into .zip file, and from the new bluehost database you can use phpmyadmin to import it back. Done!
