Need help finding a new web host

[JazzcatCB]

I'm currently using www.websitesource.com as my web host, and I'm experiencing massive delays during peak hours. By massive, I mean more than a minute to access a web page. I am tired of this, and I'd like to find a better web host. Can anyone recommend a web host that is 1) really inexpensive, and 2) doesn't bog down during peak hours?

Furthermore, I hoped that someone could tell me the best way to transfer my two sites from my old host to a new host, including transferring the MySQL databases.

Thank you!

I've been with www.netfirms.com for a while and I've had a erally good experience with them so far.

I also found these site that go recommended as very good from a few other sites when I was searching for a friend. Maybe they'll help you out too:

http://www.ixwebhosting.com/
http://www.hostexcellence.com/instant_h.php
http://www.lunarpages.com/index.php
http://www.bluehost.com/tell_me_more.html

And as for transferring the site, you should have a copy of all your files (i hope) locally on your harddrive or somewhere like that. Just upload those to the new server and the for the databases I would write a cgi/php file that creates a textfile with all the data from the databases on them and then another that takes this data and puts it in new databases that you created on the new server.

Have fun and good luck with the transfer,

if you have php myadmin you can select the database and there should be an export option. just export it to a sql file. then query the new database with that file.

Thanks for the help guys. I do have php myadmin so I will export the databases. DJRob, LunarPages looks like a good bet.
