I’m having trouble migrating a WordPress site I’ve been working on from my local

I’m having trouble migrating a WordPress site I’ve been working on from my local machine onto a host.

I’ve been through the documentation and as far as I understand, I have to:

  1. Export the wordpress database from my local server.
  2. Edit the wp-config.php file to suit my target server.
  3. Change the URL’s in the settings to suit my target server.
  4. Import the database on my target server and move over the adjusted wordpress installation onto my target server.

I can do all of this, but my there seem to be some problems: in my hosts phpmyadmin I can’t view or edit any users and neither can I create any databases (there’s no option for it). When I try to import a database I get an error: #1046 – No database selected.

What do I not know/doing wrong?

    If importing a database, you need to create one first with the same name, then select it and then IMPORT the existing database to it.
