Transfer 25 websites

Hi all...

I have 25 Joomla based websites that I need to transfer to another host.

Seems like a big big headache...

Any idea ? Anyone ?

Thanks ...

Is it cpanel hosting

Available Options

- Hire Someone like me to do it.
- If you have cpanel than make a back transfer it and shift the files to new host extract and install it..

 

The current host does not give me cpanel.
I have shell access and phpmyadmin for that...

Is it helping ?

 

does your latest host have cpanel if yea u can make a backup via ssh in the folder and transfer it to new server than extract it using cpanel file manager.

 

Thanks for the feedbacks.

The new host has cpanel.
What about sql ? Joomla has files and DB

 

you can backup the sql also via ssh take that to new server create and databese and use phpmyadmin to restore it,,

Change the config of the script to connect it to the databese

 

anything automated ? Just thinking about 25 websites make me thinking.... mmmm ... lots of lots of work....

 

Automated i dont think soo but ask your host somestimes they install it for you

 

thanks Mega...

 

how much do you charge for each site less then 200 mb. basically joomla sites.

please let me know.


thanks.

 

Hi me4you,

You can probably do this fairly quickly if all of the sites are available from one account (i.e. you have one ssh account not 25.)

Even if you have 25 databases it wouldn't take to long to come up with a one liner to export all the databases using mysqldump. If you can access all the files from one account this would also make it fairly trivial.

Out of plain curiosity, I did a similar transfer for a customer about a week back, what host are you transferring from?

The real pain is creating all 25 domains and databases when moving to cPanel. It's a bit less trouble if you have root access but it's still time consuming. I'd probably call it one to one and half hours worth of work and so you'd probably be looking at $70-105 for the job from most hosts or out sourcing companies.

 

Are you transfering the sites to one individual cpanel account or seperate.

 

my client wanted to trf site to a seperate hosting. this is pain for me. i have very low internet speed.

 

If u have cpanel u should make the backups online and transfer it to new server directly..

 

With SSH you can transfer all files onto the New server.

You just need SSH access on new server and know how to use wget command.

To move across directories and download files etc to your server refer to this SSH Guide : Using SSH and Its Commands

The databases You can export form your phpMyAdmin in older server and Import in phpMyAdmin in new server.

Thanks.
