that's the reason why i'm doing it on my own...i don't trust anyone to migrate my sites over.....they might screw up...i just upgraded to a faster server and am migrating over 50 domains right now from my old server....this should be the last time though...the new server has raid and we will be creating a image of the drives so if we need to migrate again we can just install the image onto the new server instead of me migrating the sites manually.

i've been doing this all day for the past two days...in addition to this i'm also transferring my domain registrations to a better company....

We migrate servers for users several times a week. It's silly not to trust your host.

i think it's partly my fault...in the past i've hosted with some bad hosts that screwed me over.....the host i'm with now is pretty good but i'd rather do it myself....call me an I-D-I-O-T

How hard is it trying to migrate a server?

Can't you just download FlashFXP and transfer the files from one server to another?

Or am I just being naive.

i haven't used flashfxp but my sites have tons of scripts and databases and programs.....it's not static sites....can flashxp migrate these over too and keep all permissions and functionality?

That's the first step (or use SSH) but then you often also have to change paths and IPs in scripts, plus make a dump of the MySQL databases and re-create them on the new server.

I would just use RSYNC + SSH, I have a script to do this if you want, all you really need to do is copy your /var/lib/mysql dir (or whereever you store your mysql dir) and your websites, etc...

Gzip, tar, rsync + ssh, gunzip, untar... done ;-)

Last one I did had about 4 minutes down time which was the time it took to shut down the old server after the data had been moved then add the ips to the new one and reboot it.
