how to move from one host to anather?

i want to move my sites to a new host.
i have around some 3.5 gb data.
how do i move this data to my new host?

downloading it to my pc and uploading is pain.

is there any way i can copy my data to new host directly?

 

transfer it thru scp or rsync.. you can only do that if both accounts have ssh access.

 

Or zip it up and use wget, still needs ssh. You can also remote ftp.

 

Most likely a hosted on shared server, you can ask the admin to zip your files, this would be faster and easier to transfer the files to your own PC and then upload to new host.

 

Appoint some1 to do it for u

 

if you have cpanel in both the hosting then pm me ,,, i can help u out in better way and can transfer your sites in seconds

 

no, i have H-Sphere Control panel.

 

Can you ask your new vendor to help? Transferring account between servers is much faster than downloading / uploading server-pc

 

Yes most web hosts will transfer site over fo you. Ask them about it.

without having ssh access which means you can't do this thru rsync,scp,wget.. then you have to manually download the files and upload them to the new server.

hmm, perhaps i can do this for you. lol.. just PM me if you need my service.

 

What Control Panel are you currently using? If you have cPanel, it would be fairly simple.

 

did you read thread completely ?

no, i have H-Sphere Control panel

Code (markup):

you have 1 solution to transfer your files . make a zip file accessible via website
like this : www.yourdomain.com/backup.zip

now on new host create a folder with 777 premission
make a php file
paste this codes on it ( with your backup URL )

<?php
copy("http://www.domain.com/backup.zip","");
?>

Code (markup):

this code will copy your file to new host .
if you got timeout message when run this script (because your backup will be more than 1 GB) contact me again . i will proide you a script for transload files and override timeout problems .

 

thanks james, i'll try that.

 

net4earning, if you're on a Dedicated or VPS server, and use the same hosting management software in both accounts (For example if both of your servers have WHM as hosting software), then such kind of softwares have TRANSFER feature in them, simply use that feature to transfer single or multiple hosting accounts very easily. Software makes it possible to transfer websites along with databases, e-mails and all other configurations easily. You should only need SSH / Root access to the old-server.

Good luck.

 

Good one never thought about using php to get site backups.

 

alos i have a similar solution to transfer big files ( more than 15GB ) , but related to php time out variable.
