You can do it manually... not *too* difficult if you have a little bit of knowledge and root access.

Greetings:

Ask your current host if they can provide you with data matching the requirements as mentioned on http://www.psoft.net/HSdocumentation/sysadmin/migrating_users.html#format_reseller_data

Then provide that to your new host.

Presuming the old and new can work together; rsync can get the content over in a breeze.

Thank you.

Perfect response, the key is having two hosts who are willing to work together.

It probably depends on the "leaving terms" i guess.

Most solid hosts will work with you to help you leave in a solid manner; they follow the rule of thumb, "Don't burn bridges."

The Positive Software forum at http://forum.psoft.net/ as well as the direct support may also be very helpful.

Thank you.
