    Greetings,

    Questions;

    What type of control panel does your old hosting have? ( Cpanel? )

    Hostgator uses CPanel, so if your old hosting is also CPanel the transfer should be fairly easy.

    Your aware of DNS nameserver transfer?

    Regards,

    Thank you for your reply.

    old hosting also has Cpanel only.

    is there any support to transfer the files to current hostgator addon domain.

    i have not changed dns yet.

    actually i have taken the full backup from current hosting. now i need to restore with hostgator cpnal addon domain.

    please support me to do this.

    You can ask hostgator to help you. I am sure many hosting companies do the transfer for their clients for free.

    If I were you asking hostgator would be my first priority.
