    I´m going to change my hosting provider and need your help to move all my content from my old webhost to my new.(ixwebhosting)
    Especially I need to move my blog, photogallery and directory with all databases.

    If you have experience with this please do it for me and tell your price for this.

    Usually your new new web host will have your site transfered for free.

    From what I know, this is usually not the case, but if you are transferring from a cpanel to cpanel or directadmin to directadmin, the migration should be a breeze

    Contact your new host regarding the data transfer.

    As far as I know, IXWebHosting uses H-Sphere, and not many shared plans use H-Sphere.
    But actually, backup and restore scripts and databases isn't difficult, do some google searches will solve the problem. ;)

    Thanks for your replies, but they will charge 50 USD for data transfer with databases ...

    Well, i think you should ask your hosting provider to transfer the databases for you. :)

    Do both your web hosts provide you with phpMyAdmin ?

    That is all you need to transfer the websites (databases).

    PM me & I can guide you through it.

    What control panel does the new hosting plan use?

    I think you may hire someone (just post it here or webhostingtalk.com) to help you transfer the data for you (if your data is not so important and you can trust them), $10 should can get it solved. ;)
