What would you do if you wish to move your website to a new host but you do not have sufficient technical knowledge to do that? Here’s what you can do if you are transferring your website to Hostgator. First, order your desired Hostgator hosting package. Second, request for help via Hostgator’s transfer form.
Hostgator Free Site Transfer
Hostgator is one of the very few web hosts that help clients to transfer their website for free. They will transfer the domainname , web files, MySQL database, and scripts on your behalf with no cost at all.
Hostgator Transfer Form
How does site transfer with Hostgator works?
All you need to do is to provide some basic contact info, your hosting accounts login details, some basic instructions for the technical crews at Hostgator, and keep the old hosting account until the DNS is sorted properly. However, note that neither free or paid transfer services carry any guarantees. Hostgator will only move up to one account with shared hosting free of charge within 30 days of signup. Extra domains are not included in the free service.

Fantastico is an automatic script installer which automates the installation and maintenance of common web scripts such as forums, blogs, CMS scripts, and web gallery. Fantastico helps a lot (especially for the non-technical person) as it eliminates the tons tedious jobs involved in web scripts uploading, installation, and basic setups.
