Hi

I need someone experienced in instaling/moving sites from one host
to another to move my site.
There are a membership script with Mysql database to move also a hosted WP blog.
If you are confident doing it and interested please let me know.

Thanks
Jorge

  • I could most likely do this for you, however, you can save yourself some money by doing it yourself. All you need to do is contact your new hosting company and ask them what you need to do to move your site over to them, most likely you just need to change the DNS, but they might have a different way of doing things. Once you have done that, all you need to do is upload the files and you are done, nothing special or hard about.

    Changing hosting companies will not affect your rankings, so don't buy into that. However, if it takes you to long to upload the files then this could cause a problem.
  • Well, you will have to import any MYSQL databases.
    Configuration files for the blog will need to reflect your new directory paths.
    Are you moving the domain also?
    Do you host your own email server?
    Where are you moving to?

    If you haven't found anyone to do this PM and I'll see if I can help.

    • I did this once and here is the best way to do it....

      On your current host, do a full complete back-up, once you register with the new host, VERY IMPORTANT---->>>>MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THE SAME USER NAME AND LOGIN<<-----This will keep all paths the same on any script you are running...Upload the file and your new host will extract the file, everything should be the same, including files & Database... Hope This Helps...

    • No,Im not moving the domain name just change DNS.
      Don't understand what you mean about the email server.
      Moving to Hostgator.

      Thanks

  • Jorge,

    I move sites from server to server on a regular basis for clients. If you still need someone to complete the transfer for you, just let me know. You can also use the contact form on my site.

    Thanks!
  • zip your public_html contents the new file will be like Example : cgi-bin.zip
    make a xyz.php page
    and write
    <?php
    echo exec("wet http:/ rwebsitename.com/cgi-bin.zip");
    ?>
    run this file on browser and extract it
    and for database just export it and make same login and pwd on another host.
    then import it.

    your website is now moved to another host.
