Very important!! i need help!

okay im not sure where to post this, but this question is very important to me....

Im planning to change my current hosting, because my current one has no unmetered bandwidth and i pay almost 8 bucks for it. I just found a new hosting for 4 dollars with unmetered bandwidth...My websites needs a lot of badwidth...in only 2 days my 150 gb bandwidth reached 50% already! so this one is not a good one for me and i had to shut down my site...

now here is my question...

On my current hosting i have a lot of important files for my 3 websites...i cant afford to just delete them all and upload new ones to my new hosting....

so is there an easy way to do it??? such as back up?? i know theres is back up...

but which one is the right one? and please tell me how to do it... I am a noob doing big things! already

thanks in advance

okay sorry about that.....

so anyone can help me?

**treck33** · 09-03-2005, 02:26 PM

how come no one seems to know the answer

I don't understand. You have important files, and would like to move them to your new server, is that it?

Just click "backup" in your cPanel. On the cPanel of the second server, just restore the backup.

yeah but when i click on FULL BACK UP it asks me for ftp address....

i want to save it on my computer..or is this even possible???

**Harvey** · 09-03-2005, 03:45 PM

Try putting in the FTP address of your new server?

**treck33** · 09-03-2005, 03:48 PM

is it the

ns1.myserver.com
ns2.myserver.com

is that it?

**Harvey** · 09-03-2005, 04:00 PM

ftpusuername
ftppassword
ftp.yoursite.com

Cpanel has the facility for you to GZIP the file to your server for download via FTP or download locally to your desktop. Do you not have this option?

Another alternative is GZIp the files up yourself using Telnet, download / upload them and then extract them with all the correct permissions.

If you need any more help, just shout!

If your site is using 35Gb per day, I'm ready to place a bet that you won't be staying long with your $4 unmetered bandwidth host. In the end it's pure economics: take a look at the price of a dedicated server and ask yourself how can that host make a profit out of you.

yes i dont like waiting..lolz

HMMM i just read somthing about UNMETERED BANDWIDTH ISNT TRUE....

well...i dont know what to do then! because i cant afford a dedicated server..
My adsence only makes me 1 dollar a day AVERAGE....

how about a cheap webhosting with a lot of BANDWIDTH?? any idea?

**hostyorkshire** · 09-04-2005, 08:15 AM

I think you may be out of luck! You get what you pay for.

Exactly.

If you use that much bandwidth they will not keep your site up there for $4 a month.

I would suggest a semi or dedicated server.
