[Forum] Transfering Hosts from Godaddy to Blue Host vBulletin 4.1.10 - Questions

[Strikes]

Greetings,

So I'm making the switch. First I gotta say, SCREW Godaddy. K, that's done.

My question is... can anyone refer me to a step by step guide on how to do this? Will I actually have to reinstall vbulletin or just make a few configuration changes when I get all the file's uploaded to the new host?

Thanks!

Create a database, import the backup to the new database, upload your current vBulletin files, edit config.php to reflect the database info. Login to AdminCP and update counters (if your domain has changed, then you need to update your forum's URL). That's pretty much it.

Thanks, I'll give it a whirl when I get the new host set up.

I'm not familiar w/ bluehost however do they not provide some sort of migration service or can you ask them if they can do a cpanel to cpanel transfer errr wait that won't work since your on GoDaddy w/ the current seemingly archaic interface... they might still do most of this for you if you ask though, it won't hurt to ask and the only answer you can receive that you don't want is no .

Merjwy is pretty on spot as for the gist of it, if you run into any issues come back and let us know but again, ask if they will transfer for free, who knows maybe that is a free service they offer as other host offer it but not all.

I appreciate the info!

I haven't signed up for bluehost just yet, do you know any good solid hosts that do for sure offer that service? That would make my day a lot easier.

Most of shared hosting do this for free if you asked them to.

We use Blue Host (server type is Linux), and we'll sometimes have server timeouts or connection reset pages, but they pretty much rarely happen.

They're a pretty good host, in my opinion.
