Getrov Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hello, I am currently with Dreamhost, but want to finally escape. I've read a lot of reviews and HH seems to be very highly rated, but before making the move I wanted to know about migration. Unfortunately, Dreamhost doesn't use CPanel. It seems to be their own custom panel, so I'm guessing I can't just import my backup into HH's CPanel. Any advice on easing the pain of migration? Thanks. airmaxnikef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowler Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hi, From what I have read, it shouldn't a problem - https://support.hawkhost.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/114/3/can-you-help-me-transfer-from-my-old-host I am sure a HH member of staff will confirm.

Getrov Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hi mate, Thanks. My bad choice in keywords and the fact I was mainly including Dreamhost in my searches (due to their weird CP). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 We can assist with a dreamhost migration but understand it's not going to be near as smooth as moving from a host running cPanel. We'll try our best to get all the data in the right spots and set everything back up as far as databases. It will however require you to also test and make sure everything is working and understand we don't know your sites. That means it could take 24 hours for us to complete such a migration and possibly some time for you to test and if there are any issues point them out so we can attempt to correct them.

Getrov Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Thanks for your response. I appreciate it's not straightforward due to DH's own weird setup. And appreciate the FT's as this would be the slow bit for me. I'm sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
