About migrating wordpress

Hi, I watched your video "Migrating wordpress from local to live server". I have a question! Did I can use this way in my case: from live hosting and domain to other live hosting and domain?

There are a number of different variables involve with migrating wordpress websites from one hosting provider to another. I would recommend contacting your new hosting provider and ask them if they have a step by step guide (most of them do). I recently migrated a website from http://mediatemple.net over to http://1and1.com, and spent hours trying to import the database through PHPMyAdmin, for some reason the tables weren't importing. So I contacted 1and1 support and was advised to use Putty to create a SSH connection and import the database command line style, it worked. I regret not contacting them first.
