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.

Google has rich of tools to market, to analyst , to tracking your website visitors for better insight, research audience. You can do so by adding “tags” into your webpages.

Tags are tiny bits of website code that can help provide useful insights, but they can also cause challenges. Too many tags can make sites slow and clunky; incorrectly applied tags can distort your measurement; and it can be time-consuming for the IT department or webmaster team to add new tags—leading to lost time, lost data, and lost conversions.

Google just launched Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a free tool that consolidates your website tags with a single snippet of code and lets you manage everything from a web interface. You can add and update your own tags, with just a few clicks, whenever you want, without bugging the IT folks or rewriting site code.

Google Tag Manager is built to handle your tagging needs, and it works with Google and non-Google website tags.
