So, that's for the sites with tradescripts, but now my problem is how to get the blogs moved over... I tried everything everyone's told me & it's just not working... I called the new host & the tech guy sounded like he was outsourced, I couldn't even understand him...he put me on hold & I waited 15 minutes & hung up.. fucking people like that piss me off.. ..
Seems like I'm going to lose alot of traffic.... I got some blogs & sites with .be domains from eurodns, & when I tried to change the dns, it wouldnt allow me to without changing the whois info, claiming that the . in between my initials used during the initial registration is an invalid character.. so, fuckit, I go to fix it like they want & the fuckers want to charge me 16 euro for it, & i got 20 of these domains, 13 of which I use, have traffic, & want to keep, so 16 euro x 13 = $300+ just to change my fuckin name.. why bother when the things going to expire in 5 months & then I'll have to pay $300 more again.... been nothing but headache all weekend, all because of wanting to move to a better hosting solution....

Shit ... If the " . " was good originally, it still should be good now ...
And since when you have to pay to change info ( at least for the .com, .net, .org, etc..).
Now on the blog ( Wordpress I presume ) you need to:
- save the db text file to your computer
- Create DB on the new server, create users, add users to db
- Install script on new server
- import db file from computer to new server thru phpmyadmin...
This is why Rsync is easier, because the whole site ( including webmail ) gets imported automatically in one shot ...
Or thru WHM, your host could do that in a few minutes... You could do it if they give you a WHM with shell ...
If you want I could take a look at your old host. If interested, use my ICQ... I am around for the next hour.
