Moving a website from one host to another is suppose to be a simple task to some advanced webmaster and web designer. But it could be a nightmare to layman on the street.  Those jargon like FTP, cpanel login, email accounts, scripts, files, database and etc are already make one crazy.

Most web hosting companies usually doesn’t help their customer moving their website for FREE, but some does for a fee and limited to simple websites.

This morning, I come across this website http://www.websitemovers.com, they offer moving website at a fee from USD299. They will do all the jobs for you, you only have to provide server details and login and they will do the rest.

Of course, for more complicated server with ecommerce, SSL, multiple sub domain and databases may cost a little more, contact them for a quotation.

I have added a section which list down list of shared hosting which allows SSH Access. see http://www.top10webhosting.com/ssh_hosting.php

Secure Shell (SSH) is a UNIX-based command interface and protocol for securely getting access to a remote computer. SSH is actually a suite of three utilities – slogin, ssh, and scp – that are secure versions of the earlier UNIX utilities, rlogin, rsh, and rcp. SSH commands are encrypted and secure in several ways. Both ends of the client/server connection are authenticated using a digital certificate, and passwords are protected by being encrypted.

SSH allows you to connect to your server securely and perform Linux command-line operations.

Connect to the server

You will first need to choose an SSH client.

• Mac OS X includes the SSH client Terminal by default.
• Windows-based Operating Systems do not come with an SSH client by default. We recommend PuTTY. For information, please see: Using SSH in PuTTY (Windows).
• Linux distributions include support for SSH by default as well. Simply start up a terminal.
