How to Move DNN to the Live Server
The DotNetNuke service allows you to host forums for your website users, so they can communicate with you and other users. If you want to move your DNN servers, you must use the DNN export and import service available from the DNN control panel. The export service sends the backup to a specific file, and you use this file to import the site to a new live forum server.
