Moving from another hosting company - Backup

melfalcon · #1 08-20-2006, 04:24 PM

I currently have a reseller account with a rather unreliable hosting company - so the plan is to move this reseller account to host gator.

Is there an easy way i can back up all existing accounts i have - including mysql databases, email settings etc - so i can simply transfer it all to a new host gator account - or am i going to have to upload each site backup individually - and configure all settings for each account????

What control panel are you using? CPanel and WHM?

I believe HG will transfer the accounts for you, just request a live chat and ask. If they will not you would probably have to back them up one by one.

Let them move it. It is fast, safe, and easy. I would however keep an account with HG and your old company for atleast a month or two to ensure everything went smoothly. I have had problems in the past.
