How to transfer my cpanel website to a new host provider?
Can someone please explain step by step(for dummy) transfering my cpanel website to a new cpanel host provider.I do have buck-up files from my website and I'm keeping the old host providers account,where my site is fine working,but there is no much disk space and I have to move to a neww host provider( I have two new host providers,but I can't make my site to work.I'm doing something wrong and I think I can't get my site running in the new host account?

Will the old host give you more space so that you don't have to move files? What about your old host provider, they might do it for you, did u ask? They usually charge a small fee. Also, ask the new host provider if they could it and what would they charge for accomplishing it. Good luck.
