Restoring A Backup with CPanel

I'm thinking of moving to a new host, I just wondering what is the easiest way to transfer all databases and files to a new host?

both servers have cpanel installed

thanks;

 

You can use mysqldump via a shell.

Edit: Here's a better article that covers backup and restore via shell:

Just do a home backup and restore it on the new server. Do the same with your databases

 

can I restore a backup form a ftp, cuz its too big to upload

@nullbit it's great thanks;

 

Edit - its getting late i need some sleep. I found the first two of my search intresting to read. How to restore a db? And the programm putty is a must have.

 

Ask the new host nicely if he/she will restore it through whm when setting up the new account. In most cases this saves a lot of time and nothing (including logs) are lost. And it's just a one click process, but you'll need to give him/her your older server ip, username and password.
or what fryman said
