I am in the process of shutting down one of my old dedicated servers to a series of VPS accounts and was having some difficulty in getting this completed. The old server has DirectAdmin while the new virtual private servers are powered by cPanel. Due to the fact that these sites are rather large, I kept getting an SSH timeout error when trying to use cPanel’s built in account transfer tools. This could also have been caused by a legitimate SSH connection error. Continue reading “How to transfer accounts from DirectAdmin from cPanel manually”

In search of reliable and affordable VPS hosting
I have been searching for a new VPS hosting account to replace the dedicated server that I am taking offline at PacificRack.

I still have some of my own mainstream sites and host a few others so I am still in need of a hosting package for my own properties and those of clients.
