Usually I'd volunteer just don't have the time if there both cpanel hosts I'm sure theres a complete site transfer option that moves files databases everything. check with your support seen a few companies offering this

It's pretty simple, why dont you give it a go yourself?

export the database to an SQL file and reimport on host 2
download your whole httpdocs folder (with show hidden files enabled) and reupload to host 2
change database username and password if not the same in wp-config.php
recursively chmod wp-content to 777.
chmod .htaccess file to 777

If you are changing domain too you can download this tool to search for domain1.co.uk and replace with domain2.co.uk.

I think that's it.

Thanks for the replies, someone has managed to do it for me, wasnt as straight forward as most and took several attempts!

I know your sorted now, but for anybody who comes here via google, I use a wordpress plugin called wp move, or wordpress move. Basically it backs everything up, then you configure the options - login to your new host and 'install' your backed up database (again using the plugin, on your new wp install).

I have used it for several sites and its not a big learning curve.

If they have WHM/cPanel you can do a 'Transfer' that moves everything into the new host via SSH exactly as it was. All you have to do then is point domain to new server. Did this a few days ago and was very easy. Hope this helps other people out.
