*For Shared Hosting Customers

Two options are available:

Go to your current hosting provider account, if using WHM/Cpanel and make an account backup and send us a public link to download it and we will restore it here on your new account.

Have your current Hosting Provider contact us and we will handle the move for you.

* For Vps users follow these steps:

1. Log into telnet in your old host's servers, go the your public_html directory, and type in the following command:

tar -cpzf yourdomain.tar.gz *

2. Now login to SSH in your Blue1 Hosting account and go to your public_html directory. Then type in the following command:

wget 123.45.67.89/yourdomain.tar.gz

where 123.45.67.89 is your old website's IP address.

3. Wait for the transfer to finish. Then type:

tar -xzf yourdomain.tar.gz

This can save you A LOT of FTP time, especially if you have a large website
