Switching Host server help

[dpiper]

I help operate a small fishing forum. We swapped from one of the other bulletin board databases a couple years ago due to problems. We are currently using version 3.5.3 and have been very pleased with VBulletin. We have been using a reseller account to host the site but now he is getting out of the business and won't tell us where the site is actually hosted. He has given us a month to get the site moved and we are having a hard time finding someone to move it. Our current host tells us that he does not have the scripts to move the site for us and that the scripts he used previously are not compatible with the 3.5.3 vbulletin forum. The site owner has purchased a server account with godaddy.

Our site name is fishingtx.com. It is currently at 1.5 megs and usually averages about 20 users at one time but peeks at 200 - 300 if you count the search engine and spider hits.

Can someone direct me to a service or indivual that can move the site. Our biggest concerne is loosing data.

Hello Donald

Does your actual host use Cpanel? if yes, then the transfer to another Cpanel host is pretty easy to do.

Donald, as long as you have ftp access and away to dump your database, it could be done very easy without losing any data.
