This process can sometimes be difficult mostly due to the existance of various web hosting account Control Panels. We use CPanel for accoutn management software. It is considered the best within the professional webmaster world. There are also about 50 different website account control panels (for full list see here:
http://www.web-hosting-top.com/web-h...control-panels ) all of them offering pretty similar features but with different options or most commonly have certain features like On-Demand-Backups and database export limits which can be sometimes a problem and may require some interaction with the other hosting company support team.
For this reason, we can advise you to use our Free Transfer offer and have our professional webmasters take care the transfer.
1) For website transfer please send ticket to "Website Transfers" department and include in your message your old web hosting information -- must contain the existing website logins so that we can access the site files and databases and move them to your new account with us.
2) For transferring customer credit you must email our sales team or open ticket including copy of the receipt from your current web host showing your account expiration date and amount paid.
