A common query:
Hello. I currently have a freefourms.org Site and I’ve heard some very bad things about them and our privacy. I want out. But I don’t want my forum to be erased. Ive contacted a host called shovenose, and they can they do transfers but only on the advanced plan with HostGator, for 0.01 with a coupon for 1 month. All I need is 1 month with advanced hosting and I’m gone. But I don’t got a penny. Is there anyway to transfer to another host? Any advice? Thanks
Answer: Here is why many business owners are wrong about getting free web hosting. Free hosting will not be the best hosting for you. Web hosting is the heart of your online presence and can mean the success and failure for your business.
To answer your query, here are 7 features to look for in a good web hosting. An excellent hosting:
- has friendly Live Chat from the start,
- gives unlimited storage,
- offers unlimited bandwidth,
- gives multiple add-on domains,
- has easy Site Builder,
- has Fantastico and QuickInstall to quickly install apps like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OSCommerce, ZenCart and more
- can be easily upgraded to VPS or one of their best dedicated server plans if and when your business require.

Who Should Not Try Hostgator
To be honest, no web hosting service is perfect. Drawback of Hostgator includes:
- No free domain name – but you can easily get a domain name from the best domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap for $10 or less. Would you agree that a website is not complete without a domain name?
- You need to pay full price after your first invoice – well, they need to make money too and all the support and great service do come with a cost
If you are still not sure if HG is right for you, or you have specific query about anything at all, try the Live Chat at HG. They are fast and knowledgeable. Just shoot them some questions before you decide.
The easiest way is to:
Download all the files of your web-server onto your computer. Go into the database and download a backup of all databases and their tables.
If you have cPanel, you can simply go to backup and download an entire site backup which then you’ll need to go to the file manager and download the tar.gz file from there.
When you set up your new hosting account with shovenose, simply upload your full site backup.
Hope this helps!
