    Hostgator is a big company. You can't expect replies in 3 hours. All their tickets go in order. Im sure hostgator will help you out. If you want more help you can try to PM hostgator.com (Brent) here on WHT.

    Yeah I understand that. I will probably loose alot too. You can get on live chat and tell them to raise the priority of the ticket. That might help out.

    it looks like a database error to me..
    it could be you didn't use the same database name/user and hence the connection problem.
    you might need to manual change that by yourself.since it is not covered in the 'transfer' for most host.

    I would say this one is not the hostgator's problem.

    That is 135mb gzipped I imagine it's around that 1.6GB area uncompressed.

    Correct, the database was 1.6Gb uncompressed and had over 13,000,000 records in one of the tables which is why it took so long to import. The client required a character set change as well.

    I think Shashank was working on this for at least a couple of hours.

    135mb is the zipped size not the actual size. As far as hostgators support I have been using them for the last 2 months while working on my web hosting site because I found a free hosting coupon. The one time I used there support I got a quick response but they will charge you $15 to restore your site from there weekly backups. I didnt think that was a fee that should be charged. Most hosts offer daily backups for free. As far as response time's they can very greatly. The amount of tickets submitted 1 day may be half as many as others, or one ticket requires more attention from a rep. I personally dont like host gator but for the price and the amount of space given it's a overall decent company.

    Hope they transfer it soon,

    Lots of hosts do daily backups, but not many allow you to get or restore from a backup without drive failure or something that requires them to restore the whole server.

    Your database can have been imported multiple times?

    They have very good support, try and see if they can help you if your still having problems.

    Does HostGator (or any host, for that matter) charge extra to move your site over to their servers or it all included? If it's included, that's a great feature.

    Sure makes it easy to switch hosting providers once every year or two, if they decide to raise prices. Of course, if they're comparable to other hosting providers, why not just stay with them if they give good service?

    Cheers,
    Doug

    Yes, we (HostGator) offer a free of charge service to transfer our clients sites. Shared is allowed one site transfer, and Resellers are allowed up to 30 accounts to be transfered.

    I think there are a couple of other hosts that support this service as well.

    Why dont you guys just suspend the account cause from what i see that big of database will cause reasonable amount of load ! Cause thats what i see the users future of site with hostgator, so why not save his and your time aswell ?

    Have you considered about what that big of sql database be used for ?
    12+ years -same website , new server [SSD Inside] providing shared/reseller hosting only !
    These things we do not provide/offer : Unlimited Storage ! Unlimited Bandwidth ! But Why? Cause, we were unable to put such a large number on our pages, it just would not fit.
    So check out the numbers that actually fit >> << the page as well as your budget too !

    That is none of their business, their job is to transfer it and that is it. Once it is transferred, if it causes issues then they can suspend as they wish, and a big database means lots of data, that has nothing to do with load.
