I am not able to access Fantastico at the moment as I am at work but here is a guideline you could use.

I suppose you want to save your posts and comments, you got 2 options for that.

1) Backup from WordPress
Go to Manage and then Export the XML file which contains your information. When you are done installing WordPress on a new server, you can then import this XML files and you won't lose any of your information on your previous server.

2) Backup from Fantastico
This is definitely a powerful option, you can go to phpmyadmin and export your database, and then import the database into your new server. Of course with this method, you would not only recover your posts, comments but also your plugin settings and any extra tables created by them.

Personally I like to backup from WordPress itself, I wouldn't mind tweaking the settings of the plugins again (not many anyway). But its your call and I hope I have helped you.

  2. What Is Vps Web Hosting?
    Virtual Private Server and Hosting (6)
    This is probably a dumb question, but what exactly is VPS hosting? After reading up on wikipedia I
    found out it's essentially a server with a bunch of split operating systems on it. The article
    also said generally a VPS hosting service gives its users superlevel-access so they could run any
    software on the Operating System. Is that true? If it is VPS hosting would be very useful to me and
    my clan because we need a dedicated system to run a server im developing (writing it in .NET). So I
    would need an updated Windows XP OS to run it on. But for some reason I'm dou....

    Hi everyone. Sometimes, I cannot connect with my site, neither ftp, ping, etc. This happens

    with the same ISP. I contacted my ISP, and they told me that there must be a prob with the server,
    not the ISP itself. Do you have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Alex btw, proxy browsing sucks!
