[BUSINESS] moving hosts

[Lenny]

Here is how I think of this, you ask a woman on a date and call her up the night before going out say "We each pay our own expanses tonight"

Dumb attitude.

If you are saying people should not need to pay for moving a website, then obviously, (IMHO) you do not have enough experience in moving websites to know how $%&ed up things can get.
I want a dedicated team to move my financially stable and successful websites. I doubt you have made it to the several hundred thousand a year much less a month level on your site. So a freebie move at your level is expected and probably a must. Paying someone might break your bank.

I manage sites that generate $100k a day or more in sales.
I am paid to manage other people that are paid to move sites.

Most of the comments in here are concerning sites that won't lose or generate enough income to pay for the move. I get that. Does not mean that we tell everyone FREE or forget it.
Do you buy everything at Walmart or the Dollar store? I bet not, I bet where you have experience you pay extra for better service or products. Correct?

Let us not teach people to be cheap, Let us teach people to plan for success. Let us teach people the proper way to become successful.
Freebies are great for Noobies.

As for your sexist comment (IMHO)

I like a woman that is successful enough to pay for all the expenses, not just half. A woman that asks me out and pays for the date.
Women are not the only ones that are objectified and sexually harassed. Most men just don't qualify to experience either.


Learn to move your site yourself.

Freebies are for Noobies!
Freebies are not bad and can be exactly what you need, if that is what you need. Beware whether your move is free or paid.

Each time I moved it was a few days of work just checking fixing and tweaking scripts, I hate moving hosts and my home.I have moved 4 times since I was 17 and this is it, my own place and never doing it again.

The decision had to be made to move to a reliable host and I have signed up for a server. They do not offer the moving part for free. So my question to you is, what is the easiest way to move my sites, thank you.

No host will turn this down , they can make shit loads of money every month once they set you up and you stay with them.

TheOP's host initially said no then caved in.

How difficult is it to copy a server over to another one?
