Yeah, same here, been trying to get those sites transferred over and still waiting, paying for 2 sets of hosting from the same company is annoying as I could have transferred the sites myself in under 24 hours.
Pretty sure a trained chimp could have done it within 72.
 
Just don't move to servinio. You will have a lot of downtime and no one will reply to your tickets.

Yeah exact same situation here.. just sold one of my sites so bought a second package to move the sold site over to, giving the new owner then a fresh account. This was on the 28th.. still no reply from hostgator. Useless cunts

FTP it over, its a 30 min job.

Fucking waiting for people to do it, it will never happen.
 
I haven't used hostgator in a long while, but when I left they were shit and it seems they still are.
My favorite guys are still Servikus, and on the second place it'd be PowerupHosting, you should check one of them out.
 
Don't know if they can meet your exact needs, but I'd HIGHLY recommend Crocweb as a host. They're out of Canada. I moved a LOT of sites over there like 6+ months ago now. Not a single problem. And service response time for a few questions was literally within 10 minutes.

I can't say enough good things about them. And I don't give that kind of praise lightly.

Good luck.
 
You can't access your cpanel. It sucks.

edited* my bad thought you are talking about godaddy hosting

Ahh fuck that dude its a 30 min job. If you learned to do it you will be wondering why the fuck you didn't do it sooner.
 
I would rather host my sites on my personal computer than go back to Hostgator.
 
Honestly, stay away from all EIG companies, they have been a problem for majority of the people. They are using old hardware and their entire setup is so old. There are plenty of other good hosting providers out there to try. Have a check at the entire Hosting section on BHW :)
 
Now these clowns have started sending me automated emails about other peoples sites, bunch of jokers.
 
I once used shared hosting before 10 years, a nightmare, since then I have dedicated servers or VPS. Transfer is very easy with rsync (it syncronyse all folders and files), not need even ftp. You need to dump and inport your sql from old to new server, a DNS change and you're ready! A good shared hosting is about lets say 8$ a month and a VPS can be found for 12$ or less, with your OWN ram, cpu, etc etc... + google is full of copy/paste tuts how to install and run basic servers like nginx and mysql
Just to give an example, I recently moved one of my dedicated servers with 9 websites(80GB files). It took me about 3 hours from the purchase to the websites ready to use. The long part is actually the software install (yum install XXXX on centos)
 
Not trying to plug anyone's hosting.. But I had a problem on my hostwinds account and the live chat person fixed that shit on the spot. I also have a host gator account.. and yep they dont reply to shit. I even tried to buy more hosting(that's how I ended up at hostwinds) and they didn't reply wtf.
W/e I plan on moving my last site off hostgator.
