Change of address
I want to change my domain name. So, I would like to know how can I migrate ElkArte without any data loss, with all the packages, settings, etc. I can mighrate all the files using FTP and the databases too.

Do backup of you database and full website backup. Then ask your hosting provider to change the domain name. As to my knowledge, nothing will get affected by the domain change.

Do a full backup,, database and files and upload them to your new server. Edit settings.php then run repair_settings.php

Changing domain is easier as you just have to point the new domain to the old domain forum folder, then upload and run repair_settings.php in your browser (to change domain name in your database and settings.php file).
Of course as many said above, backup both database and website files first and your forum should be just fine.
