Transfer Large Sites To New Host
Mar 5, 2007
Compared to others my sites may not be that big but I have one site that is 5 gigs and another that is about 9 gigs. I was wonder what is the best or most recommend way to transfer these sites to a new host.
I tried downloading the whole site using FireFtp but always seem to get about 3rd of the way done and something messes up the conection. Are there any better tools or methods to do this.
I also have pretty large Dbs that I'll need to transfer as well.

I have to move some large websites from one host to another. The websites contain data about 1 - 3 GB, and my internet connection here is not that fast, so that downloading and uploading would take many hours. Unfortunately I have no SSH-Access to both accounts (old and new one), so I have to make it by FTP.
So I tried to make a tar file and moved it from the old to the new host. I made a tar archive of the whole webfolder (I used php to execute the shell commmands) and moved it by ftp to the new host. But now I´ve got troubles when extracting the archive on the new host: the extracted files are obviously created by the wrong user, so I can´t delete or access them by ftp.
So I´m trying to find other solutions to fix these problems. Maybe someone else had the same problems and could give me advice how to move large sites? Or do you know php-applications that can directly connect one host accout to another via ftp?

I have a situation here.
I wanted to transfer a file (about 10GB) from one server to another server. Both server are on the same LAN.
Inside server1, I zipped a folder as file.tar.gz
From server2, I uses wget http://server1.com/file.tar.gz and it says "404 Not Found"
I suspect it won't allow me to download because the file is too big.

to transfer a MySQL database with way over 1 million rows to a different server.
What is the best way to do this without losing any data? I've tried using the export feature in phpMyAdmin but it doesn't seem to handle it very well.
There has to be a feature in WHM or cPanel,

I have a debian box, and have archived a gallery in to a .tar file, 5.77gb.
I have a centOS box, and have used wget to bring the data file over to the new server.
However upon doing so it only detects it as 1.8gb when it starts downloading.
I have terminal access to both servers, just trying to bring my files over from one server to another.

I wasn't sure if this would be better posted in the resellers forum, but that seemed to generally be reviews of companies.
Anyway, I work for a company who is trying to move a large amount of sites from one server to a new one. I was looking for the best way to handle this, since you run into issues with mySQL databases, file permission getting lost in ftp, ect.

Knowing Qoodaa was quite by chance.
A few days ago, my friends studying in America recommended me a new popular transfer tool—Qoodaa. And he told me that it was a quite good software to download files and movies. At first,I was skeptical, but after using it, I found it’s a good choice to choose Qoodaa. And I have summarized the some features of Qoodaa:
1.Its speed is faster than any other softwares I used before to upload movies.
2.It can download files quickly through downloading links, in a word, it is time-saver and with high efficiency.
3.No limit of space.No matter where you are, it can download fast.
4. Qoodaa is a green software with high security and easy use.
It really can give you unexpected surprise.
I am a person who would like to share with others, and if you have sth good pls share with me

I have just signed up for a WHM reseller hosting account where I want to transfer all my websites from old hosting reseller account.
So now, I have actually two reseller accounts:
The old one is rather small with limited bandwidth.
The new one has everything unlimited.
So it's good deal for me. But It's gonna take years for me to transfer all my sites actually hosted in my old server.
Could anyone possibly help me find a "raccourci" the shortest way of getting my sites transferred to my new WHM account. Any links, options on the WHM or cpanel etc. I'm lost and loosing my patience.

We've got about 40 sites hosted on a VPS from a provider that we'd like to put elsewhere due to reliability problems where we are.
So is there a way to transfer all of this between VPS's (assuming similar environment) and maintain all existing web content, email addresses/passwords/aliases/forwarders, MySQL databases, etc?
I know I'd have to change everyone's DNS records.

I am manually transferring sites from an old server to a new one. Currently I am downloading them to my local computer and reuploading them, which is of course much slower than transferring them between server to server.
I have root access on both servers. Can someone elaborate on the best FTP command to use to transfer them? Or is there a good FTP client for linux which would make it easier for me to do this?

What is the easiest way to transfer sites between hosts. The databases are no problem, but the sites often have hundreds and thousands of files and my ftp programs keep bombing out.
I'm on a mac os x intel. Is there some program or command line method/utility to make this process easier?

I have some 100's of MB's to move and I'm definitely not doing it by transferring it via my PC / FTP.
I seen all the tutorials on how to move your MySQL databases, but what about full folders etc, how do I move those (putty?)?

I have a problem in that I sell somewhat large download files, and Hostmonster told me their servers don't support 'resume'.
So if my customer has a power failure, etc., during the download, he'll have to start all over again.
So it looks like I'm going to have to move my download files to a different server.
Can anyone recommend a good host that will store my digital downloads and, that, most importantly, support 'resume'.

Who knows a good host that offers PHP5, mySQL 5, and at least 1 TB of hard drive space for a cheap hosting account.
I am setting up a digital asset management tool and I need alot of hard drive space for a few of users to be able to download large image files.
Which is why i need massive amounts of hard drive space.
If anyone knows of anything, please PM me or post it here. I will be checking this thread periodically.
OH and by cheap I mean less then $100/month.
I would guess the server could be either VPS or Shared or if you know of a dedicated server company, then that would be awesome too.

In reference to my previous post, i want to tranfer accross 7GB of data, approximatly 80,000 files i believe it is (due to a gallery script).
It's currently on another host (on a webhosting account) which uses their own control panel which has no options but to manage databases, the only way i can see to do this is via FTP but it'll take me days. I've tried using compressing and backup scripts, but the damn execution time on the hosts server is too low to allow the files to be zipped. Are there any ways? Can i login to my VPS via SSH and anyhow pull off the files from the other hosts server?

I've got a client who wants to host audio files... Here are the sizes:
50 x 75MBs
300 x 10MBs
400 x 5MBs
That totals 8750MBs or 8.75GBs... If he gets hundreds of visitors, it could end up being 1000's of GBBs or bandwidth.
I don't know what to look for to support so much bandwidth... Do you buy bandwidth? Are their special companies out their that host it for you?

I did a search on the forum bu it exploded so I thought I would post the question - sorry if it's been asked.
I would like to know how many sites are commonly hosted on a dedicated server..
Say - 4 gigs of RAM, and a Q9300 (for example).
I know that some companies put 600 - 800 sites on the server and then customers talk about load and etc etc.. So, I just wanted to get a feel for how many sites/server..

I have a godaddy deluxe Linux hosting plan for the next year. I'm wondering how I can host my two sites on that plan. According to GoDaddy it's possible but how can I do that and have each site separately? It says the only way would be to have it like...Url.com/keyword for other site but I don't want that. I want it to be so you visit one site and it takes you to that exact site.

150-250GB
CPanel
Sites: single page to forum... (shared hosting basically)

I just recently switched from a shared hosting to a vps hosting. And I'm a bit confused on how to transfer my domain name to the VPS host. When I signed up I choose the option "Transfer my domain to here" Is there anything else I need to do? Or I just wait for it to be transfered after i supply the auth code? Sorry this is my first time using a vps type hosting.

I'm in the process of switching to a new host for my websites. My old host is Servage and my new host is Dreamhost.
I'm looking for a way to directly transfer all my files from Servage to Dreamhost (i.e. don't transfer them via my PC).
Whilst Dreamhost offers a whole suite of access to their servers, Servage only offers FTP (no SFTP, no SCP, no SSH, no RSYNC). Servage also don't give any ability to create a tar.gz of my files (I tried to use a Perl script to execute a shell command to tar my files, but it didn't work )
So currently the only way I can see to get the files across to Dreamhost is to use the ftp command (via SSH on Dreamhost), but this command is severely limiting because mget can't transfer directories - it can only transfer files in a directory.
Can anyone see an easy way for me to get all files across to my new host?

I've been asking a fair few question lately here on WHT. You've all been a great help so far. I just ordered two new servers from www.northstorm.net. I want to take all my video files from my previous host, and transfer them over to my new host. There's roughly 100 files which is a total of about 8GB. I have a php script which can copy the files manually, one by one, but that's the last resort as I'm not very keen on that idea.
I have root access to both servers so I can pretty much do what I want with them. What's the best way to grab the entire contants of a ftp folder and transfer it over? I need to copy the files from my old host to one of my new servers, and then copy the files between my two new dedicated servers.

how to move my web sites from one host to another?
I believe my new host will happily do so.. and, I'd really like to know how to do it myself.
Two of the sites have blogs with lots of posts on them.
If you know of any video tutorials, I'd appreciate it.
I've watched one on backing up the site to "remote ftp server". I do not know what that means and have not been able to find a description/definition.

I'm thinking of using one of my computers at home as a dedicated server to host my own sites, and I would like to get your opinion guys on whether that would be a practical thing to do or not.
Dedicated Server: I put together;
Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.8GHz
3GB DDR2
1TB Seagate HD
GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB
Gigabit LAN
Windows XP Pro / IIS 5.1
Smart Firewall/Router Symantec
APC Smart-UPS battery (Full 15 hrs.)
Dedicated Connection: Business account will run me $80 CDN/month;
Speed Download - Up to 16 Mbps
Speed Upload - Up to 1 Mbps
Transfer/month - 200 GB
IP Addresses - 2 dynamic & 1 reserved.
The Sites:
Both sites are Academic based - together they receive approx. 200,000 visits a month / 50 to 60 GB transfer and growing. I'm also in process of publishing a 3rd site, but over all, I anticipate the 3 sites transfer to hover around 100GB/mo unless Digg/StumbleUpon/Google all decide to have an orgy-traffic linkage at once and push it higher.

Say if i choose a plan with specs something like below
Space : 20 GB (Max)
Bandwidth : 200 GB (Min)
RAM : 384 MB
I will be having Plesk (Unlimited), Powerpack, TOMCAT JSP , MS Access & MS SQL Express installed.
Now my question is as approximately how many Domains / end user control panels can i host on the VPS (say most of my client's websites will get a max of 100 visitors per day and they are all not very heavy resource consuming websites. They are websites with around 50 pages and a single MS SQL database which is queried for Login info and other trivial information that is stored in it.)
I know it is very hard to guess, but a conservative figure will do.
