Hi lana,

responded to you pm =P cheers

 

ask your host .
They would do it for you.

 

here are commands:
1. make dump of files:
tar -cvf dumpnew.tar /home/www/YOUR_USERNAME
2. dump mysql-dbs:
mysqldump --all-databases -p | bzip2 -c > databasebackup.sql.bz2

3. Transfer to another server:
scp dumpnew.tar :/home/dir
scp databasebackup.sql.bz2 :/home/dir

4. Unpack dump:
tar xf dumpnew.tar
5. Restore mysq dbs:
mysql -p < databasebackup.sql

Hope this will help you!

Sweatlana, are you running a control panel on your old and/or new host? If so, which one?

 

Yes I have cpanel in both old and new servers.

 

Hi you may find this blog helpful it helped me a lot when migrating sites to a new server...http://maketecheasier.com/migrate-site-to-new-server-without-any-downtime/2010/01/27

 

If you have both cpanel servers it's quite easy task. Just follow the instructions:
make a full backup from account on old server and transfer it to /home/ location on new server. After that log to new server's ssh and run the commands:
/scripts/restorepkg YOUR_USERNAME

 

You can do it from backups of cPanel. Download full backup and upload it to your new server using the cpanel Backups.
Better option is SSH. You need to transfer all databases and files, and then need to update all 20 wp-config.php files with new db info.
