Let’s say you want to transfer your blog to a new server. You have uploaded all the files and what is left is just the database.

To do that, you must make sure you have SSH access in both servers – old and new server. You can request the access by contacting your hosting provider to enable it for you.

Personal Blocklist by Google

Sometimes when you do searching on Google, the results you get are not relevant with the keyword you typed. Most of the websites are just a low-quality website and spamming the search engines.

However, you can always revoke a blocked site at the bottom of the search results. You can also edit the blocked websites by clicking on the extension’s icon at the top right of the Google Chrome window.

But just want to let you know, when you block a website, the URL will be sent to Google for their further analysis. With that, they can provide a better algorithm and also use it as a potential ranking signal for their search results.
