Raymond.CC site was inaccessible for nearly 6 hours due to my current hosting Integricity can no longer able to support it.
I host raymond.cc website on a shared hosting which is very cheap but quite fast. However, the activity and bandwidth was too high for their servers to manage in a shared environment resulting them freezing this site.

I’ve now transferred this site to a server in United States, WebhostingBuzz and hopefully it is able to support this site. WebHostingBuzz is one of the highest rated web host in US. They claim to provide top-notch customer support and competitive pricing.. I do agree on the competitive pricing and as for customer support, so far so good. They did helped me with the transfer in just a few hours eventhough our timezone are so far apart.

Migrating wordpress blog sites can be very easy if you have shell access. You need to backup all your files and folders while retaining the permissions and also your database.
This is how I migrated raymond.cc to a new web host within an hour.


1. Backup files and folders while retaining permissions.
SSH to your current web host and run the following tar command from your website root.
tar -cpzf filename.tar.gz *
You should now have the file called filename.tar.gz on your website root.
Download and upload filename.tar.gz to your new webhost. You can connect to your new webhost FTP by their IP address. Consult your webhost about the IP address.
SSH to your NEW web host and run the following command to extract the tarball.
tar -xzf filename.tar.gz
Now you have all your files and folders with permissions on your new webhost.

2. Backup MySQL database.
Again, SSH to your old web host and run the following command
mysqldump –opt -u dbusername -p dbname > dbname.bak.dump
Download dbname.bak.dump to your computer from your website.
You can use phpMyAdmin that use to administer MySQL database to restore the database.
Before restoring the database, you need to create the exact same database name and user for MySQL.
After doing that, on phpMyAdmin, click on the database name that you’ve just created on the left hand side and then click on SQL tab on top.

You will just need to click on the Browse… button to locate the dump file which you downloaded to my computer.
Click Go, wait for a few minutes to upload and restore the database and it’s done migrating!
