So you've been with a host for a number of months or years and now it's time to change for whatever reason.

The following is a guide as to the smoothest process possible. There are many steps involved and over the next few weeks I'll add various pages and update where necessary. I'll attempt to include as many screen shots as possible and in that regard I'll be basing everything on using cpanel and MySql. For those not using these tools I'm hoping it should be clear enough in order to translate the information to your tools of choice. The concepts will be the same regardless.
