Hey all, I know this probably sounds like a very, very dumb question to some, if not all of you.

But I'm wondering if it's possible to buy cheap asf hosting for around 6 months and use their free MySQL database for a XenForo site then when I'm ready export the database and transfer it to a more reliable host when I'm ready to launch


Thanks :)

Whoops, should of done my research...

6. How can I move my installation to a different domain or host?
Backup the existing database and server files. Copy them to the new domain/server and update the library/config.php file with the new database details as required. It may be necessary to set permissions for the data and internal_data directories to world writeable (CHMOD 0777). Lastly, update the Board URL in the ACP -> Options -> Basic Board Information, if it has changed.
Note that if you are moving to a different type of web server and have Friendly URLs enabled, you will need to make the appropriate changes. Refer to the [URL='https://xenforo.com/help/friendly-urls/']Friendly URLs section of the XenForo Manual[/URL] for more details.
Note also that redirection will be required if the domain name changes, to ensure any indexed links continue to work. Furthermore, if you have redirection scripts in place, you will need to edit the 301config.php file to reflect the new location.
